"At GCSE level you have the question of so-called 'lad culture', which, it has been said, often takes boys away from higher achievement.

"This can lead to male students starting sixth form later than females, when they realize they are in dead-end jobs or want to go further in life."

Listen Up, Boys. Do as you're told!

The key to a lasting marriage is the man's willingness to accept his partner's influence.

The huge young footballer lay cheerfully baking in the spring sun on the sidelines, his muscular legs spread wide, hands behind his head. With his body covering much of the pathway between the two football fields, the large group of parents cheering on the sidelines were forced to constantly detour around him.

After almost tripping over him as I excitedly followed my son's run with the ball, I couldn't stand it any longer and suggested he sit up and stop blocking the path. His mother, proudly standing next to her hulking young prince, humphed her disapproval at my comment.

Mother love has clearly blinded her to the fact that males can no longer get away with that sense of entitlement, that expectation that others will tiptoe around them. She's raised an endangered species, a handsome young man destined to be booted out of any future relationship.

Today's harsh lessons of love ensure he's in for a rough ride.
