Boys - Casualties of the Gender Wars

Article here. Excerpt:

"Male children are showing deterioration in achievement, lowered acceptance into colleges, increasing diagnosis of various “hyperactivity” or “attention deficit” disorders (with concomitant medication of such alleged “disorders”); and decreasing attendance at school. Furthermore, reports indicate boys between the ages of 5 and 14 are 200% more likely to commit suicide than are girls, and that, within that age range, boys are 36% more likely to die (of all causes) than their female counterparts.
...
Despite the current wisdom, males are at distinct disadvantages in our cultural milieu. Boys are “feminized” in the early years of their education and socialization, and by the time that they reach adolescence, many are conflicted as to their roles in society, and especially as to their interaction with the opposite gender. The shockingly high incidence of suicide among adolescent males is a reflection of this conflict.

Rather than trying to “neutralize” our male children, we should be developing methods within our schools to utilize the characteristics of both genders, each to their strengths, and not employ principles of “reverse discrimination” in order to rectify past inequalities. Such discrimination, like that used in regard to racial and/or religious differences, is destructive to our boys, and makes for adult men with handicaps which are destructive to our society as a whole."
