Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do about It

Boys and men are struggling. Profound economic and social changes of recent decades have many losing ground in the classroom, the workplace and in the family. While the lives of women have changed, the lives of many men have remained the same or even worsened. Our attitudes, our institutions and our laws have failed to keep up. Conservative and progressive politicians, mired in their own ideological warfare, fail to provide thoughtful solutions. The father of three sons, a journalist and scholar, Richard Reeves has spent twenty-five years worrying about boys both at home and work. His new book, Of Boys and Men, tackles the complex and urgent crisis of boyhood and manhood. Please join Reeves in conversation with Matt Gutman and Bret Stephens as they take a deep look at the structural challenges that face boys and men that does not mean giving up on the ideal of gender equality. Moderated by Bari Weiss.
