    How Government Caused 'the Boy Crisis’

    Makes sense to me.

    How Government Caused 'the Boy Crisis’



    Warren Farrell, author of The Boy Crisis, was once associated with the feminist movement. Then he changed his views. "I don't agree with the part of feminism that says, 'Men are the oppressors and women are the oppressed,'" Farrell tells Maxim Lott, a senior producer of Stossel on Reason.

    For example, men die five years earlier than women, have more dangerous jobs, and are often passed over for custody. Boys are two times more likely than girls to commit suicide. Boys are 29 percent less likely to get a college degree than girls.

    So why do men earn more and have more influence in government and business? A big reason, Farrell argues, is that men are filling social expectations to become the family breadwinner.

    I sure couldn't find anything coming close to hate speech there. It's unfortunate that this reasonable and rational point of view is being censored in our educational institutions.

    It conflicts with the liberal consensus, a consensus based less on facts than on fictions.

    It is unfortunate that undeniable truths are now depicted as hate speech.

    It's all about controlling speech to attain power.

    It seems to be backfiring.

    I’m not sure that it’s backfiring. That mentality has so far indoctrinated two generations of young minds.

    True, but "resistance" is rising. People, like Farrell in the video, and others, are speaking out. Universities, the seedbed of that mentality, are losing tuition and other funding. The Court just found for free speech against public unions.

    The crisis will end when they perfect creating a female A.I. that is affordable for all men's pleasures.

    We haven't so much corrected racism or sexism as we have aimed them in new directions
