I thought it was common sense to understand why girls get free education related opportunities in the country, but these bd netizens always have different things to say. Do people not realize girls are more likely to be deprived from accessing basic and higher education among families that lack the ability to provide properly and/or have misogynistic views?

The people who are this pro- "free education for both genders" when the topic of "educational opportunities for girls" come up dont try see the deeper issues. Yeah sure education is a fundamental right for every human, but which boy out there gets deprived from education for being a boy? Which boy gets married off because "Poribar shamlaite parbena"? (not saying it doesn't happen but it not as common as it is for girls). When a boy fails to access education, its due to his family's financial conditions, but most of the times when a girl fails to access education, its because she is a "she", and it happens even when families are financially able to educate their daughters.

The reason girls and women are given more "special" treatment when it comes to education is so that the numbers and percentage of educated and self dependant folks increase when both genders are compared in the country (which can only be done is the group that has been behind/forced to be behind is given support but sure ppl cant seem to understand that). Thats why I find it so weird that these bd netizens seem to fail to grasp the difference between "facing prejudice for being from a certain group" and "being financially unlucky" in this matter.
