Here women decided they wanted ‘total equality’ and they didn’t want corporal punishment to be used in schools, so what they did as part of the feminist push was push for schools to completely abolish corporal punishment. For boys as well as girls. That was a far, far worse result for boys than the ‘double standard’ situation was.
In Australia, since the turn of the twenty first century, it’s become widely accepted that boys have become the disadvantaged gender in education. That girls are a privileged class over boys in our schools. This idea is mainstream now. Virtually universally accepted. People are divided as to what to do about it, but it’s no longer even controversial, the evidence is so strong that our education system favours girls over boys.
