Christina Hoff Sommers quotes about
So far there has been little discussion among gender scholars about the need to engage with skeptics. They tend to view skeptics and dissenters as cranks.
Even the most independent and spirited young women can become humorless, self-absorbed, and fearful. It's a terrible preparation for life.
We must have moral education in the schools, anti-bullying programs, but this does not mean programs to feminize boys.
It's good to raise awareness that men and boys are struggling, at least many of them are. But why say men are finished? It's too harsh, too sweeping, and it happens to not be true.
