What's gone wrong with boys and men? ft. Richard Reeves Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

Richard Reeves, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of the new book Of Boys and Men, joins the podcast to discuss what's gone wrong with boys and men in today's society. Why are boys struggling in school so badly? Why are labor market gender wage gaps closing, but educational gaps are widening? What can we do to make sure boys don't fall even further behind? And how can we address this issue without falling into right wing fantasies of biological determinism and a return to a more sexist time?
