Reddit reviews The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It

I lost respect for Feminists back when Bill Clinton was president . Two women brought sexual harassment cases against him. Even back then the feminist were saying we always have to believe the women in these cases. Until it was Bill Clinton and then Gloria Steinem and other feminist sided with the Clinton's

I am not a right wing conservative, But over the years I have seen feminist turn their back on a lot of women simply because they did not like their politics.

I agree with you that men's issues have been completely ignored and if you are a man and you speak up you are a misogynist. Some great books and a movie you might be interested in

Men on Strike

American society has become anti-male. Men are sensing the backlash and are consciously and unconsciously going “on strike.” They are dropping out of college, leaving the workforce and avoiding marriage and fatherhood at alarming rates. The trend is so pronounced that a number of books have been written about this “man-child” phenomenon, concluding that men have taken a vacation from responsibility simply because they can. But why should men participate in a system that seems to be increasingly stacked against them?

The movie " The Red Pill" I think it is on Amazon

Here's a good book on it. Written by a guy that was a prolific male feminist in the 70's.

His list:

What is the boy crisis?

• It’s a crisis of education. Worldwide, boys are 50 percent less likely than girls to meet basic proficiency in reading, math, and science.
  
  
• It’s a crisis of mental health. ADHD is on the rise. And as boys become young men, their suicide rates go from equal to girls to six times that of young women.
  
  
• It’s a crisis of fathering. Boys are growing up with less-involved fathers and are more likely to drop out of school, drink, do drugs, become delinquent, and end up in prison.
  
  
• It’s a crisis of purpose. Boys’ old sense of purpose—being a warrior, a leader, or a sole breadwinner—are fading. Many bright boys are experiencing a “purpose void,” feeling alienated, withdrawn, and addicted to immediate gratification.
  
  So, what is The Boy Crisis? A comprehensive blueprint for what parents, teachers, and policymakers can do to help our sons become happier, healthier men, and fathers and leaders worthy of our respect.

Video games by themselves? Absolutely not. They are at most a secondary problem. The real crisis behind these mass shootings is [The Boy Crisis] (https://www.amazon.com/Boy-Crisis-Boys-Struggling-About/dp/1942952716). This is probably the most under utilized research in the country right now. With the exception of San Bernardino, every mass shooting over the last 50 years has been carried out by a male, mostly younger males as well. Dr. Warren Farrell deserves a Presidential Medal of Freedom for this work and he’s showing us that we have a rather recent crisis on our hands that’s hitting boys and younger men of any and every background like a disease. We have far too many young men lost in this world and fatherless or without a sense of family and community. It’s a complete and total crisis that goes well beyond video games or gun control. My grandson is 22 and he plays every shooting game you could imagine. However, he’s a well balanced young man who’s father taught him what it really means to be a man. We also have a crisis in our communities where the service organizations I grew up with are depleted and [losing members quickly] (https://wotsmqt.com/service-clubs-dying/). So to stop myself from rambling any further, no it’s the fault of the video gamer or the gun owner but those things obviously can become a problem when used by a young man who’s suffering and has no guidance.

Warren Farrell starred in the documentary about MRAs. He is also writing a new book with John Grey about The Boy Crisis.

>And 'idiot on the internet' describes literally every person who thinks men shouldn't be discriminated against

Fuck you too. I know more about feminism, men's rights, and gender than you ever will. You're the idiot here.

Actually throughout history females were much, much more likely to survive to adulthood and reproduce. And they have always had their own set of privileges and their own forms of power.

Speaking of books/papers:

The Privileged Sex

The Myth of Male Power

Female forms of power and the myth of male dominance

Favored or Oppressed?

The Legal Subjugation of Men (1908)

The Boy Crisis

Legalizing Misandry: From Public Shame to Systemic Discrimination against Men

Replacing Misandry: A Revolutionary History of Men

The Second Sexism: Discrimination Against Men and Boys

Gender differences on automatic in group bias: whey do women like women more than men like men?

Sex Differences in the Ultimatum Game: An Evolutionary Psychology Perspective

Intrasexual Competition Shapes Men’s Anti-Utilitarian Moral Decisions

Moral Chivalry: Gender and Harm Sensitivity Predict Costly Altruism

The Gender Empathy Gap: Chivalry is not dead when it comes to morality

Note that with the exception of the first link, which leads to an historical study of female privilege written by a right wing military strategist, all of these books and papers were written by liberals and socialists.

Another recent [study](Objectivity and realms of explanation in academic journal articles concerning sex/gender: a comparison of Gender studies and the other social sciences) (conducted in Sweden, of all places) concluded that 'gender studies' is by far the most unscientific and biased discipline in all of the social sciences and possibly all of academia. Basically, if you've learned about gender solely through the lens of feminism, you've been wildly misinformed.

Outstanding video, not much to add here. Warren Farrell is such a truly good man.
He has done an incredible job of helping boy and young men in this hostile environment we live in today.

His latest book is:

As mai putea pune. In general un google cu effects of fatherlessness sau effects of motherlessness iti da suficiente informatii.

Asta trateaza mai multe tipuri de familii (inclusiv lesbi/homo) la un nivel un pic mai superficial.

It's a little better, but not terribly so. The Washington Times gives the impression that it's a reputable national newspaper, but after digging a little deeper, it's more aptly described as a conservative leaning tabloid with close ties to the Unification Movement, which is a religious entity.



That being said, there's not a lot of substance to this article. Their source is a book and its author who is there to promote it. If the book itself is a secondary source, what does that make this article? A tertiary source? I worry that we're playing the telephone game a bit with the actual science here.


Ideally, I'd like to be able to examine and scrutinize the methods used to draw these conclusions and see that it's gone through peer review. We need to be able to compare the incidence of these factors in the population of school shooters with that of the general population, for example, to see if there's not some cherry picking going on.
