We have expanded women's freedoms and men's obligations, then complained that men haven't changed. That , Farrell notes, must change. Justice is murdered, and the reasons explaining WHY men earn more than women are suppressed. The causes of men dying seven years earlier than women are ignored. We have women's studies and no men's studies.
Overprotection infantilizes our daughters.
In the end, nobody wins. Inevitably, Farrell's balancing act between self-help talk and political talk does not fully succeed all the time. Nits can always be picked. Occasionally Farrell's suggestions seem a bit silly. But these are minor complaints indeed.
