Are American boys getting stupider everyday?

My grandfather had taught me that Australia was an island of convicts from England.
And settlers. Plus many were sent to prison for stealing a loaf of bread to stave off starvation. Geez even children’s television shows know that much.
I’ll be the first to mock our stereotypes, but they’re not a substitute for actual knowledge about a place. You realise this, right? Otherwise I’d conclude you were a lazy, jingoistic moron with more guns than brains, based off American stereotypes. ;)

I do enjoy President Trump's jingoistic spunk

regarding the handling of Iran.

He takes no guff from the towel-wrappers.

The Donald is everything obnoxious about the American stereotype, minus the charm.
Though now we can always say, hey our politicians might be greedy idiots, but at least they’re not as moronic as that mouth breather who weirdly resonates with the Nazis/KKK in America. Your thread is about boys seemingly losing intellect and yet you praise the stupidest most vapid person on the planet? Really?

Trump could not have been a complete idiot to have become a billionaire several times over.

Mate Jessica Simpson has more money to know what to do with and she was literally outsmarted by a can of tuna. Like lol stupid people make bank all the damned time. Much to our everlasting shame.
And correct me if I’m wrong here, but didn’t the Donald inherent his family’s real estate company?
The Donald is not completely moronic, I’m sure he got decent grades, but he lacks any real finesse actual start up execs usually possess.
He’s also obnoxious to the point of being obscene. It is really fun to laugh at him though. So there is that, I guess.

What is the MALE role then in nature beyond sperm dispenser?

Look at the wolf family. Watch Disney's The Legend of Lobo.

Men of the human species need to be the alpha male wolf of the family.

The man (wolf male) went out and hunted the meat for his family. The woman (wolf b_tch) stayed in her home (cave den) with her children (litter of wolf pups).
Wolfpacks more usually have one breeding female at the den who's fed by the whole rest of the pack.
I think you'd find a better example in chimp behavior.

Hahhahahahaha!!!!! The alpha Male mentality of wolf packs was largely disputed by the originator of the claim, because they threw in a bunch of unrelated wolves in captivity and studied that frankly unnatural behaviour. But as Hbomberguy once said, thanks for displaying the type of behaviour you would display if you were a caged animal lmafo!!!!
The alpha omega pair of a wolf pack are the alpha pair because they are the parents of the pack. Not because they fought the longest like in other species, like meerkats for example. Omg using wolf behaviour to justify alpha omega pack mentality is like using old timey “science” to disprove evolution. It’s just too rich.
Perhaps study a little more of actual animal behaviour before you put out on display just how out of touch you are with actual biological studies next time? Even grade 8 biology students would laugh at such a ludicrously out of date claim? omg!!! I can’t even

All in good fun, guys.

Then Woodside High School (my school) at Woodside, California in the fall of 1979 must have been a great exc eption. It seems like at least 3/4 of the names on that list for the honor roll (3.50+ GPA) then were boys' names and it was displayed in front of the dean's office. Most of the names on the Deans' List (4.0) were boys' names then also. Prestigious (snobbish) Stanford University was nearby my HS at Woodside.

It could be also that male students fared much better in a high-class state as California then and especially so in the more opulent western counties of the San Francisco Bay Area. Boys in hick states dominated by agriculture and hard labor might not fare so well academically speaking.

California was America's pinnacle for academic excellence throughout most of the 20th century.

You might have passed through a statistically anomalous school as there are bound to be many or you might missremember because you remember more easily the name of people you knew or knew off and your current prejudices and bias do the rest. You might also not have taken gender imbalance in number in consideration. Some schools have less girls than boys because they are drained by girl-only schools nearby while boys only schools are less numerous. but the fact the remains.

In the same fashion an article earlier said that women in the US represented for the first time a majority of the workforce which is logical because the gender ratior in the US is of 97.87 men for a 100 women. If you have more women. even if this imbalance is most prevalent at a higher age, you should have more women in the workforce.

The difference in sex is widowed old ladies: those old enough to no longer be in the workforce or school students. They hardly count for the sake of my gender career/education/vocation argument. There are about 105 boys for every 100 girls born worldwide. There are more nuns than monks too.

When comparing the accomplishments of male vs female, we need to do per capita statistics to be more accurate.

I will have to admit that some of the names on the honor roll were those of boys I knew or recognized. I can't recall the name of one girl I knew in class on that list. But my memory vaguely recalls more names like John, Robert, Mike, David, Peter and Andrew on that list than names like Susan, Mary, Denise, Victoria, Carol or Laura.

That's actually not quite correct, while its true most of the imbalance is amongst older people and that the number of birth is mostly males, a short majority of infant death is baby boys due to a lower immune system. Accidental deaths, crime related deaths, treatable illnesses and suicides also disproportionately affect men.

Of course this disregards the story creation in the Bible, Genesis: Adam followed by Eve. But as an agnostic, that story is a mere possibility. Being male and female means being one of two mutually-necessary life divisions in order to continue a species unless the species continues asexually as do earthworms. I can't envision one "sex" can exist without the other. Living things are either sexual or asexual.

The first Genesis creation story does not have Adam first and Eve as an afterthought.
