Even the most independent and spirited young women can become humorless, self-absorbed, and fearful. It's a terrible preparation for life.

You have to be literate in today's world. We're not going to get away with not teaching boys to read.

It's no wonder there is a mad scramble for victim status on many campuses today. It confers authority and prestige.

In reality, American girls are among the most outspoken, ambitious, successful girls in the history of the human race.

We are turning against boys and forgetting a simple truth: that the energy, competitiveness, and corporal daring of normal, decent males is responsible for much of what is right in the world.

Any child may go through periods during which they become less outspoken with their parents or teachers. But girls, like boys, live in many different worlds - they have their friends and their classroom and their parents - and within these different domains, they may have different levels of expressiveness.

I don't think anyone will deny that girls are academically superior as a group.
