Something is happening to boys today. From kindergarten to college, American boys are, on average, less resilient and less ambitious than they were a mere twenty years ago. The gender gap in college attendance and graduation rates has widened dramatically. While Emily is working hard at school and getting A's, her brother Justin is goofing off. He's more concerned about getting to the next level in his videogame than about finishing his homework.
In Boys Adrift, Dr. Leonard Sax delves into the scientific literature and draws on more than twenty years of clinical experience to explain why boys and young men are failing in school and disengaged at home. He shows how social, cultural, and biological factors have created an environment that is literally toxic to boys. He also presents practical solutions, sharing strategies which educators have found effective in re-engaging these boys at school, as well as handy tips for parents about everything from homework, to videogames, to medication. -

Observation: feelings of resentment at random attractive women.
Theory: the more you indulge in porn, the more you will hate beautiful women in real life.
The paradox of uncontrolled desire is that I hate what I lust after, because 1) I cannot get it and 2) I know that it has control over me.
The key is to separate these feelings from the woman herself. Otherwise you end up seeing women as the enemy.
They are not. Instead they are merely the hosts that our parasitical desires have hijacked.
