Why Men Are Hard to Help
&gt; &quot;For what it&#x27;s worth, I think Jonathan is onto something crucial. Women have fought a long battle against misogyny from without; now men are struggling to find motivation from within. Rather than external pressures, the challenge facing men is one of internal drive and direction.&quot;<p>...<p>&gt; &quot;These gender differences in academic performance become apparent early. Girls are 14 percentage points more likely than boys to be &quot;school ready&quot; at age five&quot;<p>Is the theory being presented that 5 years old boys have inherently lower internal drive and direction than 5 years old girls? In my world, providing motivating and directions to 5 years olds is generally the responsibility of adults.
