Christina Hoff Sommers: Schools Are Hostile to Boys' Instincts


Listen Later

I sat down with Christina Hoff Sommers, feminist philosopher and author of “The War Against Boys,” to discuss the growing struggles of boys in a culture increasingly dictated by a toxic strain of Marxist feminism. Christina explains how, now that institutional barriers to female opportunity have all but disappeared, the feminist movement has become dominated by a faction that sees the world as a zero-sum game and therefore is fundamentally opposed to the flourishing of boys and men. Schools, in particular, systematically neglect boys and pathologize their natural instincts, while elevating the psychological and behavioral tendencies of girls as inherently morally superior. Christina breaks down how this imbalance is shaping a generation of young men who are falling behind not only relative to their female peers but also in absolute historic terms.
