In fact, I found at the heart of establishment feminism this body of egregiously false information. What is sad and unfortunate is that this information is driving public policy by driving funding. And the area in which I found the largest number of mistakes and the most shoddy research was in education. The idea that girls are second-class citizens in our schools is preposterous. The exact reverse is true.
Boys are behind girls significantly in most areas and falling further and further behind.
It s a huge issue that wasn t getting any attention because we were misled. There probably never was a time when girls had more opportunities and were more ambitious and successful. But, if you look carefully, our boys are being put on the back burner in their educational needs. There s going to be more of that. In Europe, they re already ahead of us worrying about what happens when males become the second sex and whether this was anyone s idea of equity and fairness.
