War Against Boys

War with boys: One of the oldest arguments in facts or fictional psychology is the discussion between nature and cultivation. Its roots exceeded the 19th century psychologist like Freud and Skinner, and came into the origin of scientific thought. Even Greek philosophers like Aristotle and Plato talked about how individuality is formed. Today, we have a relative consensus to nurture works that are natural and concrete; we can have many biological possibilities and the environment will decide this.

Christina Hof Sommers, a philosopher and writer, pointed out in 2000 the book "Battle with boys: misleading feminism will affect young people", "It is not a coincidence that a boy is infamous." The group is appealing that men benefit from the benefits of school and is urging girls to be biased. "She also wrote a companion article on the Atlantic Ocean, in which men are indignant, all men and women are unfair privileges, and are also obstacles to gender justice. This view is promoted at the educational university It has been.

More than ten years have passed since Christina Hoff Sommers wrote her iconic "The War Against Boys". Since dozens of champions followed, the boys did not lack a defender who was good at expressing - but the fate of the boy did not improve. Every stage of their life is full of enthusiasm. For men in the United States, the diagnosis rate of ADHD is high, 15.1%, which is more than twice that of girls, and 10 boys are 5 times more likely to be expelled from kindergartens 15. More than three times more than girls. The boy accounted for 71% of underage criminals 6. The boy was threatened by weapons with twice the probability of high school 2.

Even if I proceed with this discussion in my book "War with the Boys" nobody talks about juvenile academic, social and professional problems. Now, in 12 years, news, books, academic journals are filled with such claims. In recent years I have witnessed this book: "Boys a drift" by Leonardo Saxophone, "richer sex" by risa mandy, and "men's end" by Gennarogin. In the revised edition of this book released this summer, I am changing subtitles from "How false feminism hurts young people" and avoids criticism. Feminism; Conversely, I emphasize the tendency to hate dislike, such as a decline in economic recession, a disciplinary policy of zero tolerance, a tendency to make misconduct of underage a criminal, a change in school education by gender . As our schools concentrate more emotionally, risk averse, co-oriented, and sedentary, they are increasingly away from the boys' distinctive emotions.
