What Happened to Our Boys???

Why are men falling behind in our country today?

Boys are lagging behind girls in every relevant  statistical category

This is an alarming trend.  A trend with potentially devastating consequences for our future.

Here are the stats:

• 57% of all bachelor’s degrees in the United States are earned by females for 18 years in a row.
• Boys’ suicide rates are 4 times higher than girls between the ages of 14 to 24.
• 90% of mass shooters, prisoners and Islamic State terrorist recruits are male.
• 90% of all homicides in the United States are committed by men. 
• Men lead women by a wide margin in every violent crime category
• Boys are lagging behind girls in education in each of the 63 largest developed nations.

Author and Philosopher Christina Hoff Sommers also writes about these trends in her massively successful and provocative book, "War on Boys: How Misguided Feminism is Hurting Our Boys."

Here are some excellent resources on this matter:

Leonard Sax's landmark book, "Boy's Adrift:The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men."

Here are some disturbing statistics from Warren Farrell's book " "Why Are Our Boys Struggling and What We Can Do About It
