The problem is that things are not supported by politicians in a vacuum. It's not a la carte in a 2 party system. If we put unrelated and unacceptable policies alongside universal healthcare you can't be surprised if it doesn't attract some demographics.

I'm still waiting for the politician who's gonna have the figurative balls to say "let's fix school/college because they are failing boys". When the issue was women not getting enough degrees there was no problem calling this a national cause, now crickets.

What does it mean to “fix” school/college?

[dudul]

Make it so that as many boys as girls are successful.

[hotpotamus]

What if girls’ biological differences predispose them towards success in educational institutions? Then we need some sort of specialized education in order to provide the boys more intensive socialization?

[dudul]

Then the institutions need to change their approach yes.

Interestingly, in other contexts I've heard people say that equality of outcome is an unwelcome suppression of meritocracy.
