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

I think it's ill-advised to attribute pathologies to healthy people. It doesn't help normal, healthy, thriving children to be viewed as pitiable and fragile.

Girls are more academically powerful. They make the grades, they run the student activities, they are the valedictorians.

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.

The serious work for feminism in the 21st century is across the globe. Instead of retreating into "safe spaces" and focusing on their own imagined oppression, today's feminists should be reaching out to women's groups in the developing world.

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.

I'm concerned that boys have become politically incorrect, that we are a society in the process of turning against its male children.
