Boys are 50% more likely than girls to fail at all three key school
subjects: maths, reading and science In the US, the wages of most
men are lower today than they were in 1979, while women's wages
have risen across the board In the UK, suicide is the biggest
killer of men under the age of 45 Boys are falling behind at school
and college because the educational system is structed in ways that
put them at a disadvantage. Men are struggling in the labour market
because of an economic shift away from traditionally male jobs. And
fathers are dislocated because the cultural role of family provider
has been hollowed out. The male malaise is not the result of a mass
psychological breakdown, but of deep structural challenges.
Structural challenges require structural solutions, and this is
what Richard V. Reeves proposes in Of Boys and Men - starting boys
at school a year later than girls; getting more men into caring
professions; rethinking the role of fatherhood outside of a nuclear
family context. Feminism has done a huge amount of good in the
world. We now need its corollary - a positive vision of masculinity
that is compatible with gender equality.
