For some time, I have perceived a huge problem in education is too many school leaders who lead with emotion. Too many women now in charge. Too many men who think and act like women are in charge.
This is not to say that women can't think like men... @MizTarney would be one of those. Or that men can't think like women... @VeryStableGenius would be one of those.
Typically, mom's don't want their son's to play football because they may get hurt. Some Dad's will think the same way...but majority is women. Typically Mom's don't want their son's riding dirt bikes for the same reason..but some Dad's think that way as well.
Chick think v. Dude think.
I have contended Chick Think (by both males and females) has become way too common.
Not that we want to be all the way one or the other...a balance would be best. As women have taken over education, leadership in government, etc...chick think has now sent us down the wrong path. The Pandemic was a great example. Those who practice Chick Think such as @VeryStableGenius was all about fear and shutting everything down. Those who practice Dude think...we were looking for more balance.
DeSantis...he was lambasted for his Dude Think whereas Newsome was lauded for his Chick Think.
Here is an article that tends to agree with this line of thinking. What are your thoughts?
I also came to realize that raising good men was the most important thing society could do. If it doesn’t, the male propensity to physical aggression and predatory sexual behavior will wreak havoc. Therefore, raising boys to control their natures is fundamental to society avoiding chaos.
Over the course of a lifetime, however, I have come to realize that while society was right about males, it was wrong about females. Whether spoken or unspoken, most people thought that girls just didn’t need to be raised to control their natures nearly as much as boys did.
However, it should be obvious that at least two generations of parents — especially among the well-educated — did not teach many of their daughters to control their emotions and think rationally.
The result is that women are disproportionately active in doing damage to our society.
The most obvious example is education. American schools teach less and indoctrinate more than ever before. Big-city public (and most private) schools are damaging young Americans to an extent and in ways no one imagined just a few years ago. Young children are prematurely sexualized — they are, for example, exposed to “Drag Queen Story Hour” in class and in local libraries from the age of 5. These feature a man dressed as a woman reading and dancing for them.
eachers and their unions did great damage to young people during COVID-19. They demanded — because of their hypochondria and an apparent inability to apply reason to COVID-19 risk — that schools be closed for nearly two years. Teachers unions in big cities threatened to go on strike if schools opened. In general, teachers unions are just radical arms of the Democratic Party and the progressive movement. They are overwhelmingly composed of women members and women leaders. The head of the National Education Association is a woman, as are the heads of the Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City teachers unions.

OPINION: What’s wrong with America? Emotional women
When I was in college, I read a book by George Gilder, one of the wisest thinkers of the last half-century, titled “Naked Nomads,” which had a deep impact on
