"If boys are doing worse, whose fault is it? To many of the current critics, it’s women’s fault, either as feminists, as mothers, or as both."

"Perhaps the real 'male bashers' are those who promise to rescue boys from the clutches of feminists. Are males not also 'hardwired' toward compassion, nurturing, and love? If not, would we allow males to be parents? It is never a biological question of whether we are 'hardwired' for some behavior; it is, rather, a political question of which 'hardwiring' we choose to respect and which we choose to challenge."
Michael Kimmel, a Professor of Sociology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, writes on "A War Against Boys?" in the Fall issue of Dissent Magazine.
