Apathy around men and boys issues is perhaps no more pertinent than within the gender gap in education; where boys fall behind girls in every area, at every age, in every developed country, every year.

So why are boys behind?

And why don't we have the answer to this already?

Such great news! The Education Committee of the UK Parliament has launched an inquiry into outcomes for boys. Deadline for submitting evidence is May 17th. Paging Nick Hillman The Social Mobility Foundation Francisco H. G. Ferreira Men & Boys Coalition Caitlin Moran APPG Men&Boys

Thanks to those who have done such good work on the topic. I’ve mentioned Richard V. Reeves but I should mention his org American Institute for Boys and Men and thanks to Christine Emba for her writing and leadership.

Really good write-up of some really good news.

This is the best use of the *owl leg surprise* I have ever seen 💀💀💀

“A History of the Muslim World” is the best book I’ve read this year.

Michael Cook’s 912 page tome is incredibly detailed & careful, analysing the political economy of empire-building and cultural evolution across the world.

Tremendous!

'[Norway] states bluntly that 'it is an equality challenge that men in Norway live shorter lives than women.' I agree. But in most studies of gender equality, the gap in life expectancy is simply treated as a given, rather than as a gap.' Richard V. Reeves

The gender pay gap. Are policy interventions necessary? Or should we take a closer look at what role personal choice plays in the equation? Watch the debate now.

'If anti-abortion protesters were to take over a quad for days, would university administrators ignore their own campus rules?' David Leonhardt is so good at this writing thingy. nytimes.com/2024/04/25/bri…
