ABSTRACT

The way the story of the sexual holy war came to prominence despite the facts is one of the most fascinating and important phenomena of our time. Researchers who try to pursue their investigations in a nonpolitical way are often subject to attack by the advocates. The incidents of violence and the suicide statistics point to the possibility that the lack of young men in college is part of a much wider crisis of males in our society. Part of the reason, then, why this possibility is not on the agenda is that the experts who now tell us of the boy crisis also believe that the accession of girls to dominance is normal, natural, and legitimate. If the boy crisis has been caused by the female view that men are toxic, our analysis raises the possibility that boys have not been separated from their mothers enough.
