The Positive Mind

The Boy Crisis : Why our boys are struggling and what we can do about it.


Listen Later

In honor of November's Men's Health Awareness Month, Dr. Warren Farrell joins hosts Kevin O'Donoghue and Niseema Dyan Diemer to examine The Boy Crisis. The crisis, in brief, is that boys are growing up without fathers leading them to not only miss out on the father/son bond but, Dr. Farrell believes, leading to lack of social skills, a likelihood to drop out of school, use drugs and experience mental health issues on a broad scale. The roles of men have changed in society: we need to adjust our thinking to encourage fathers and sons to be valued for their intrinsic worth as they are, not just as providers or moneymakers. Respecting the roles fathers have embraced with their sons and daughters, especially during COVID, gives us insight as to how nurturing the "father instinct" leads to a more stable home life and society in general.
Dr. Warren Farrell is an educator, activist and author of seven books on men and women's issues. His books include The Myth of Male Power, Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say, Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men? and Why Men Are The Way They Are.
