"The plaintiff, a gay man who goes by the alias Shape Shifter, argues that by approving him for hormones and surgeries, Fenway Health subjected him to 'gay conversion' practices, in violation of his civil rights. Carlan v. Fenway Community Health Center is the first lawsuit in the United States to argue that 'gender-affirming care' can be a form of anti-gay discrimination.

"The case underscores an important clinical reality: gender dysphoria has multiple developmental pathways, and many who experience it will turn out to be gay."

"Young men everywhere were trying on new identities, many of them ugly, all gesturing toward a desire to belong.

"It felt like a widespread identity crisis—as if they didn’t know how to be."

"Now, as young adults, they actually need a psychologist to convince them of what the rest of us already know: Neverland has always been a lie.

"Ultimately, the consequence of an extended sojourn in Neverland is just as bad as one in Pleasure Island. Perpetual childhood is just as much a form of dehumanization as transformation into an ass, since it is the ability to live a life of self-aware responsibility that renders humans different from asses in the first place."

"For decades, masculinity has been a topic of both public and academic debate. Historically, traits like being active, dominant, and self-contained were synonymous with masculinity. However, from the 1980s, there was a notable shift. Masculinity began to be viewed through a more critical lens, often associated with negative traits like misogyny and homophobia, and linked to issues such as poor mental health and aggressive behavior."

"'You see six or seven women for every three or four men,' said UVM's vice provost for enrollment Jay Jacobs. His job is all about student diversity, and these days the male/female divide is now part of that equation. 'Sure, I thought about racial and ethnic diversity,' Jacobs said. 'Sure, at a public flagship in the state of Vermont, I've thought about geographic diversity. Never gender diversity like that. That's where we are.'"

"Young boys and men in this country are not okay, and we are all paying the price for it. Whether through mass shootings, high rates of suicide, sexual assault, and attacks against women, hate crimes, or even the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2020, some men are expressing their anger through violence and turning to despair and self-harm."

"Boys are in trouble. Many have withdrawn from the real world, where they could develop the skills needed to become competent, successful, and loving men. Instead, many have been lured into an ever more appealing virtual world in which desires for adventure and for sex can be satisfied, at least superficially, without doing anything that would prepare them for later success in work, love, and marriage."

"A thought-provoking, non-pc dialogue...ranging from Dr. Warren Farrell's real-life descriptions of how roughhousing and boundary enforcement are catalysts of empathy and postponed gratification to Dr. Jordan Peterson's in-depth analysis of how scholars such as Piaget substantiate Dr. Farrell's findings as discussed in The Boy Crisis. An exciting encounter as Drs. Farrell and Peterson point to the enormous suffering experienced by boys—and also girls—from dad-deprivation and the disintegration of the nuclear family. How the latest iteration of feminism is not only hurting our sons, but also undermining genuine empowerment for our daughters. What can be done about it?"

"A silent crisis in men’s health is shortening the life spans of fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons. For years, the conventional wisdom has been that a lack of sex-specific health research mainly hurts women and gender minorities. While those concerns are real, a closer look at longevity data tells a more complicated story.

"Across the life span—from infancy to the teen years, midlife and old age—the risk of death at every age is higher for boys and men than for girls and women."

"Men are disappearing from science and academia. The public perception is, however, exactly the opposite. The voyage of discovery that science offers can take us furthest when it is open to the best and brightest, regardless of who they are and where they come from. For some activists, however, these efforts have not gone far enough. In response, universities, industries, and research institutions have instituted a vast bureaucracy designed to promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This has resulted in a desire to include women and minorities, white males are often excluded."

"The implications of these disparities are huge. Doing poorly at school is strongly associated with major challenges later in life, including addiction, mental and physical health problems, and involvement with the criminal justice system—problems that also have ripple effects on society at large. In the United States, getting at least a college degree may be the one remaining, relatively stable ticket to a decent life, Boutakidis said."

"Around the world, girls are more likely than boys to get no education at all. But once they are in a classroom, boys usually do worse. The gulf is widest in reading: in almost all countries that collect sufficient data, girls are better readers than boys at ten years old. Boys also lag in international science tests, and have mostly given up a long-standing advantage in maths. Globally, colleges and universities now enroll just 88 men for every 100 women."
