If only one generation takes action in raising their children as humans, rather than raising boys and girls, the future human civilization shall get rid of the sinister phenomenon of misogyny sooner than you can imagine.

About This Quote

Although there are many people who are trained in the field of child psychology, there are still some people who have a narrow-minded view of the gender roles. The concept of gender roles have been around since the beginning of time. Since then, human civilization has advanced along with the advancement of gender roles. The idea is that men are better at certain things than women are, and women are better at certain things than men are.

When it comes to education, this idea may have merit. The difference in our education is that boys generally do better in math and science, while girls generally do better in reading and writing. We may think that this is just a generalization that applies to all individuals.

However, if we look at the statistics on child development, we can see that girls generally perform better academically at an earlier age than boys do.
