There is a whole field of study, devoted to why boys are not achieving literacy levels to match girls see: (www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/meRead_andHow.pdf). If we don't recognize that there are differences (some social some biological), how can we provide opportunities for individuals to flourish, with support, with fields they choose? In our house we have some division of labour and some jobs that overlap. We both cook and clean up. We both shop for food. But when it comes to the yard, my husband has it all. I, on the other hand, do laundry, iron, and clean toilets/showers and bathrooms. I am sure there are other couples who do the opposite. But statistical trends would likely show our division is more common. Is that okay or is it demanded that we split all work 50/50, even if this is my preference? I disagree that women should not read the manifesto. I believe the opposite. Read it and decide for yourself. I thought it was reasonable.
