Danielle Smith: The crisis no one talks about

At some point – soon I am hoping – feminists are going to realize they have solved all the problems they set out to solve for girls and we can turn our attention to real problem now facing society: the boy crisis . I think we are so unprepared to see the problems right in front of our eyes. When I interviewed Dr . Warren Farrell , author of The Boy Crisis : Why Our Boys are Struggling And What We Can Do About It, I asked him to start by identifying the problems facing boys. It really is apparent that it is a first world problem: Farrell says that in 70 developed nations, boys have fallen behind girls in tests of knowledge. We have a generation of boys being raised that will have less education than their fathers. We have boys disproportionately diagnosed with ADHD , living in their parents’ basements with no purpose, addicted to video games, addicted to pornography, addicted to drugs, and in the extreme committing suicide and homicide.

People have asked me when the project will stop, and my answer has always been, ‘When native women stop going missing and being killed.’” LISTEN : Annita Lucchesi joins Angela Kokott to discuss her project to independently document missing and murdered indigenous women and girls in North America Luchessi estimates that, since the beginning of the 20th century, 25,000 Indigenous women and girls have gone missing. “I think it’s important to go that far back because, even though awareness of this issue has been growing, especia
