From Leah: I know this article focuses mainly on men in the United States, but I still consider it a read worth sharing. I spend a lot of my time reading about women's issues, and so it was interesting to slow down and read the statistics about men. In the United States, girls are outperforming boys in primary and secondary school, more woman are attending college then men, there is a rising rate of male unemployment in the US. I enjoy this article specifically due to the large range of statistics - numbers always help put things in perspective for me.
Very interesting read Leah, thank you for sharing. It will resonate with a lot of us here who have been having various discussion around the topics. Dennis was commenting on Bella’s conversation starter and touched on this to name just one. We also had a great In the Open on Feminism where we discussed a few of these themes but didn’t have the data at hand so thank you!
