Is America Shortchanging Male Children?

	An Anonymous User submitted a link to Cathy Young's article in Reason magazine about boys and the education gap. There is an interesting contrast of the views of Christina Hoff-Sommers vs. William Pollack, and the article is typical of Young's consider-both-sides-of-the-story approach, which always sounds reasonable and lets the reader decide on the outcome. It's a very good essay, and includes many relevant statistics. Check it out.

An excellent article (Score:1) by BusterB on Wednesday January 31, @03:17PM EST (#1) (User #94 Info) http://themenscenter.com/busterb/ Cathy Young is spot on. As one of the people who is very worried about the "social engineers" trying to "androgynize" our boys, I must admit that sometimes my fears are overblown. I do overestimate the threat and underestimate the resilience of boys. Not that I think there is nothing wrong, but I'm probably overreacting. At the same time, she also saw the hysteria, hypocrisy, and hidden agendas of the other side in the debate. Whenever you write an article that neither side particularly likes, you know you've done a good job.
