Well that's typical.

The truth is a travesty, to believers.
Intelligent women are a travesty, to believers.
Boys being told they are NOT superior is a travesty, to believers.

What besides religion can break the mind of a women to the point she thinks progress for women will actually destroy society?

Misogyny is when a man treats women as inferior. Misandry is when women treat men as inferior. What's the word for when women treat women as inferior? Because that woman is an -ist of whatever that word is.

EDIT: Fixed typos
UPDATE: The answer is Misogynist. She's a misogynist. Hatred of women, regardless of the gender of the hater.

On my last Amtrak travels, there was a train crew change and I saw a black woman, probably 30ish, climb aboard the engine and she was our new engineer. It made me feel good and proud to see that. You go girl.

many moms: "don't argue with him. don't let him know how smart you are. men don't like smart girls."

my mom: "you can be whatever you want to be."

People like her serve no useful purpose.
I would dearly love to tell her that to her face.

Personally I think children of any gender should have equal options and while I disagree with her logic I do agree with the idea that we need men and woman who if they have children put them first. Children need structure and safety to grow. Why can't men be equal in the eyes of society as caregivers? Of course the larger issue is that we need a society were single parents or joint parents have the access to services and jobs that support there vitally important roles as parent(s). Without judgment or assumption. My Aunt had nine children and knowing her it was her passion as much as others might find passion in a career. Too me that is as valid a contribution to society as any job in the world. And all of her children are good people who contribute in a positive way to society.

Don't get this homeschooling thing. Children need to mix with others, not be kept at home and indoctrinated with the beliefs of the parents.

I think it is great that females are now given the opportunity to expand their potential in all aspects of life.

If a woman is better at being a doctor than a man, I am very comfortable with that. Regardless, as the author of the article states, no stats to back up Alexander’s assertions.

Certain people shouldn't be aloud to reproduce . And that's all I am gonna say about that .

I have all girls. I think it’s great. I used to watch my youngest tear up boys on the tennis court. Now she is tearing it up academically. You go girls.

Read some of her blog. It is going to be one of the most appalling things you've ever read. If I remember correctly she also doesn't believe consent is needed in a marriage. She's just all around a horrible human being.

If her boys are as smart as she says they are they'll be ditching her and her dumbass culture as soon as they get the chance. Except there's a lot of benefit to be a right wing christian male if you get women to play along.

Great for the girls but if you are a boy and it bothers you just try a little harder.

Now now folks. Christianity is, after all, a patriarchal religion. If you believe the myth then you believe men are more privileged than women who were just created to be mans help mate. So what else could she say.
Of course we know that women are the equal of men in academic settings as well as many other settings. But as long as we have a patriarchal society that accepts patriarchal religious myths we will have a society in which male privilege prevails and women are little less than property to be dictated to by men. The anti-abortion "pro-birth" movement dominated by men telling women what they can and can not do with their bodies is a clear example.
So don't give Ms. Alexander a hard time. Just prove her right.

This is really nothing new. When I finished in elementary school, over half a century ago, I was one of three students from my class chosen for the Honors program in junior high. The other two were girls; there were no boys competing with me for smartest in class.

I'm actually not surprised that, as a group, girls are performing better than boys academically. It makes perfect sense from an evolutionary/biological perspective.

And she is raising 2 boys who will grow up to believe the exact same.

This is not sexist. I am not sexist. These are just facts. We are not there yet in equality and we will never be. It is not an apples and apples comparison. Don't pretend women can do anything because they cannot and they don't. Boys are busy with doing many other things in the wold. There is no doubt that boys do a much larger variety of things in the world like:

1. wood cutting
2. polishing glass windows of sky scarpers
3. wheelbarrowing
4. handling Most Sticky, Smelly, Toxic Things
5. mining
6. American football
7. Catholic priests in most countries
8. Dalai Lama
9. cremation and grave digging in most countries
10. washing of dead Muslim men
11. sewage cleaning
12. get picked in most dangerous navy seal missions - like kill Osama Bin laden

Also don't forget.....
Pegging men in most countries
produce multiple children in the same year

If we want this to change, we have to take the reins. We are the mothers who raise boys. It will take a few generations, but the change will come. Let's just hope, this woman's sons don't blow up the world in the meantime. But we still have to persevere.

I totally agree with this assessment but I don't think criticizing women who think like this is a beneficial solution to the problem. Any woman who is defending these types of ideas is suffering from the effects of some sort of abuse. When people are put in positions where they are being oppressed, they instinctively tend to learn to defend their oppressor in order to earn "points" so that less abuse is directed toward them. Convince that woman that she is a valuable part of her community and has a lot of good to offer the world and the problem will be solved.
