Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters,
and What to Do About It
by Richard Reeves
Currently, only 74 men per 100 women attain a bachelor’s degree. For men with only a high school diploma, one in three is unemployed. Men face a disproportionately higher risk of death from suicide, alcohol, and drug overdoses—almost three times that of women.
Richard Reeves addresses these alarming statistics in his book, underscoring their impact not only on men but on society as a whole. In urging a nuanced perspective, he advocates for the simultaneous championing of women’s rights and compassion for vulnerable boys and men (hear more in his interview on Honestly).
As a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a father of three sons, Reeves has recently established the American Institute for Boys and Men to delve into the challenges affecting males today. One proposed solution is to halt the inclination to pathologize typical boy behavior. This entails resisting the application of the 'toxic masculinity' label to any behavior simply disapproved by the user.
