[edit] Male education?

I notice that conversely there is no matching article for the opposite of this one. I realize that in general, men had primary access to education in the most recent cultures and as such, female education is more of a specific topic that has special attentions. Even so, an article like this might be useful in describing how this bias existed, and a reverse representation of the hows and whys of how male-only education occured and the viewpoints that caused it to originate and remain that way. It's also possible that in some small or very old cultures that perhaps there were women-only educations systems (even if only in specific fields thought suited for women only) and as such, male education would be the minority and controversy and deserve discussing?

That's exactly what I was going to comment about. For instance, so called "pink collar" jobs are now becoming more male-friendly. I hate to generalize here, but it seems that most feminists think that complementary masculism and related topics are unnecessary. Personally I feel that for equality to exist, both sides must recieve attention. Women might argue that men have historically been the dominant sex, and therefore do not need an equal and opposite movement to uphold their rights and promote their issues, but I would disagree.

Having a browse through my library I can't actually find much if anything on this topic. There is, however, a vast amount of books on female education. I guess this is one of those cases where people seem to treat males as 'normal' and females as some sort of exception to that norm. Richard001 (talk) 21:40, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
