Thank you, leftist universalism is really annoying to engage with. You could say, "its important to wash your hands" and they will ask you why you are being ableist and excluding people without hands.

I didn't check back on this until now, but no, I wasn't baiting. I was literally curious whether he thought this was specifically a problem for boys for some reason, and why? Or is it a universal issue? The article didn't really mention gender, so I wasn't sure if he was bringing some insight not mentioned in it.

I think there are a lot of challenges faced by boys that are worthy of attention and resourcing. Some of them may be biological some may be socially constructed. To an extent, it doesn't matter the causes, because the issues still exist.

FWIW, I consciously tried to phrase my question as not some kind of set up for a dunk. As much as you might think people are sometimes woke baiting, for lack of a better term, the counterreaction is just as much of a minefield.
