1/7 It’s Thursday and thanks to a study published by Hungary's State Audit Office, #Hungarian women now know that their over-representation in higher education is causing demographic challenges and puts boys at a disadvantage in schools. Thread from 1892 – sorry, 2022.👇

2/7 The study is based on a questionnaire, with the answers of 700 teachers and parents. As such, it is a perfect representation of Hungarian (and Central European) social norms.

3/7 The study, reported by @nepszava , argues that girls' traits such as emotional and social maturity, diligence, listening skills, tolerance of monotony, good oral and written expression - are more important in schools than mathematical and technical skills needed for boys.

4/7 Punishing masculine characteristics – including logical thinking and risk-taking – causes mental problems for boys, who are unable to develop their talents.

5/7 Moreover, the over-representation of women may cause demographic problems for the country, makes it more difficult to find a partner, reduces fertility and makes women less likely to marry and have children.

6/7 Now my favourite part: the study says: men's creativity is not only necessary for the development of the Hungarian economy, but also for everyday life, as "young people growing up are confronted with a leaky tap or broken furniture. (It seems those can only be fixed by men)

7/7 And now give me a minute while I go and burn my diplomas and reassemble all my furniture. Until then, read the original text: nepszava.hu/3167260_allami…
