As a teacher, I find it fascinating the way that girls outperforming boys in tests or specific subjects (like mine, literature) is so frequently attributed to the teaching or texts themselves favouring girls. People seem desperate to be reassured that boys ARE cleverer, really.

im sure ive said this before but when i worked in a bookshop i never saw a single woman or girl put off by a book with a male protagonist or author, but had countless men/boys immediately lose interest on finding out a book was by/about a woman
Young boys are being discouraged from getting into reading—and it’s because more books are missing one key element, @sophiah_n reports: theatlantic.com/culture/2026…

I know I'm supposed to read it left to right because it's an English comic but I read it the other way instinctually and that made it so much funnier

Very understandable thread. Frankly WHA has one of the biggest divides between the fandom and the work it's actually about that I've seen in some time. People want it to be a comfy cottagecore found family when it's really none of those things.

In this country there were people who blamed solar panels when someone drove into it

I was a reader as a kid, the kind of reader you can't stop. I could find books anywhere, I'd read anything. I hated romance and once read about 50 Harlequin "novels" on vacation because it's all they had. If a kid wants to read they won't stop.
It's not a lack of books.

I saw someone say Scholastic didn't publish books targeting boys, and a 2-second search of their site led me to categories like "Video Game Books," "Minecraft Books," "Sports Books," "Books About Cars, Trucks & More" etc., all with tons of titles clearly aimed at boys.

i dare everyone all to walk underneath the philippine heat without an umbrella at 1:00 in the afternoon and no water breaks in between.

I witness with my eyes that female teachers get harassed by boys solely for being female and that's what you focus on. do you want them to go full on a power trip on kids or even use violence? they're helpless because what they do works for female students perfectly. they cannot

i don't know, man, i work college prep/test readiness as community service and a lot of these boys think reading for pleasure is gay no matter who the protagonist or what the genre

Does this debate about "there are no books for boys" boil down to books with male protagonists?
Because I'm old enough to remember when girls were underserved.
The thinking *used* to be that girls would read the Hardy Boys but boys wouldn't read Nancy Drew. Because cooties.

Babies are raped. Children are raped. Women in hijab, in loose clothes, in short dresses are raped. The only thing every case has in common is a rapist. It was never about the clothes. But go on, ask what she was wearing.

consent dubious af 😭😭 when gothic romance was at its peak
Definitely don’t think about Lestat making sure Louis consented to his turning. Or how he waits for Louis to initiate the kiss. Or how that choice had been stripped away from him. Or the little face of shock and awe he makes when Louis does say yes, because he probably never believed Louis would openly return his love and accept the gift.
