Summary:
The book argues that societal shifts and educational policies have been neglecting the needs of boys, leading to their underperformance in schools and emotional disengagement. It critiques feminist approaches that the author believes have contributed to a culture that undervalues masculinity and fails to accommodate the different ways boys learn and develop.
Key points:
1. Education Bias: Sommers claims education favors girls, leading to boys' underperformance and higher dropout rates.
