Sommers expands on points she made in her previous book, Who Stole Feminism? another thoughtful and well-researched read. And with the success gap between boys and girls getting larger and larger as the education system panders to one sex, this book desperately needs more popularity. The book never attacks girls it just tries to bring attention to problems that many boys face in the school system. The fact that this important book is written off so easily as "patriarchal garbage" (?) just proves to me that its detractors just haven't read it. (A recent edition of the book replaces "feminism" with "policies" in the title, probably as a response to outcries) This book gained some notoriety after a Tumblr feminist was shown burning it into a fireplace (calling it trash) to keep warm. So many reviewers giving this book low ratings just because Sommers is focusing on boys, as if she's not looking at the "right" group, even though she proves that girls get almost all of the attention.
