Topics
Richard Reeves: 我在本书中探讨了美国男孩和男人日益增长的困境，他们在教育、工作和家庭生活中都面临着挑战。我认为关注男孩和男人的问题，与关注女孩和女人的问题并不矛盾，我们可以同时关注两者。我分析了男孩在教育方面落后的原因，包括生物学因素（青春期发育）和社会因素（学校教育中的性别歧视）。我提出了一种有争议的解决方案：让男孩晚一年入学，但这需要配套的社会支持体系。在工作方面，我分析了男性收入下降的原因，包括自动化、外包和行业结构变化，以及女性在某些职业领域的崛起。我主张采取平权行动，鼓励男性进入女性主导的职业领域。在家庭方面，我探讨了男性自杀和药物过量等问题，并指出这与男性气质的规范有关。我批评了左派在处理男性问题上的某些缺陷，例如过度强调社会化因素，忽略生物学因素，以及只关注女性而不关注男性。我还批评了右派利用男性困境来煽动政治对抗的做法。 Mike: 我对Reeves书中提出的观点进行了评论和补充。我质疑了Reeves关于推迟男孩入学的解决方案的可行性和有效性，认为这需要大量的社会支持，并且其有效性证据不足。我也对Reeves关于性别学习差距的生物学解释提出了质疑，认为其证据不足，社会化因素也扮演着重要角色。在讨论工作和收入方面，我同意Reeves的观点，即男性收入下降与自动化和行业结构变化有关，但我也指出，性别工资差距也与女性在职业选择上的限制有关。在讨论男性自杀和药物过量问题时，我强调了男性气质规范对男性寻求帮助和表达情感的影响。我还批评了Reeves在政治分析部分的观点，认为他未能充分承认右派在加剧男性问题方面的作用，并过度关注左派的言论。

Who's to blame for the crisis of American masculinity? On the right, politicians tell men that they being oppressed by feminists and must reassert their manhood by supporting an authoritarian regime. And on the left, users of social media are often very irritating to people who write airport books.
