In reality, American girls are among the most outspoken, ambitious, successful girls in the history of the human race.

I'm concerned that boys have become politically incorrect, that we are a society in the process of turning against its male children.

I don't think anyone will deny that girls are academically superior as a group.

I think it's ill-advised to attribute pathologies to healthy people. It doesn't help normal, healthy, thriving children to be viewed as pitiable and fragile.

Harvard produces leaders. People with Harvard degrees go on to become administrators in high-level positions in state educational departments and in public schools around the country.

It's good to raise awareness that men and boys are struggling, at least many of them are. But why say men are finished? It's too harsh, too sweeping, and it happens to not be true.

We are turning against boys and forgetting a simple truth: that the energy, competitiveness, and corporal daring of normal, decent males is responsible for much of what is right in the world.

Girls are more academically powerful. They make the grades, they run the student activities, they are the valedictorians.

You have to be literate in today's world. We're not going to get away with not teaching boys to read.
