However, I don't know many girls who had the grades for Uni who didn't ultimately go to Uni, because (they feel like) there are fewer alternatives...
I get that there are big differences in male and female learning styles and the education system can be a lottle bit skewed, however, as always, I have less problem with this than I do with the education system constantly pandering to the lowest common denominator (although they claim that they don't... they do... and have been for decades). SO many clever kids failing to reach their academic potential because schools won't effectively divide them by ability because it "might make Little Thick Suzie feel bad". Absolutely nuts.

its way more than skewed young boys are light years behind , mainly because of feminism and the disappearance of male teachers and fathers. its tragic to see boys just dismissed and ignored this way. for schools and teachers to assume theyre going to join a trade is wrong and profoundly sexist. they deserve every bit as good a chance as girls. this is a massive ticking timebomb. the more young boys get ignored , passed over devalued, the angrier and more depressed and alienated they become. that means they don't fulfil potential they often turn to self harm, crime and even serious violence. Its up to MEN though to shout down feminism now once and for all and replace it equality and equal opportunity
