As requested on the wishlist, Jeff Goldstein sent me the Christina Hoff Sommers canon for Xmas. I am now under the charge of reading Who Stole Feminism? and The War Against Boys over my Xmas vacation.
If I don’t get so angry that I throw the books in the driveway and back over them four or five times in the Jeep, I’ll likely do a brief series on my reactions to the books. I don’t have the time for hard research into her claims, but after ripping on CHS for being one of the primary sources for the public outcry against feminism, I think it’s only fair that I read her work instead of relying on secondary documents.
The plan is to start with WAB, as I’ve been thinking about boys and the educational process due to my time in the classroom.
UPDATE: Read the first question and answer.
