Although Christina Hoff Sommers does make a few good points. I felt that this book was very argumentative, outdated, and did not provide a clear picture of what is going on nationwide. Having 2 sons myself I know that not all school systems are run like the few examples that Sommers choose to include. In the end I felt that if all the money being spent on research was instead given to public education, there would not be an "in crisis" child male or female!
