President Obama is requested to announce the establishment of a White House Council on Boys and Men, parallel to the White House Council on Women and Girls. This request flows from a group of thirty-four national-class scholars and practitioners led by Dr. Warren Farrell.
The Commission states that America's boys and men face profound crises in various areas in life. Men have lower rates of college education, higher rates of suicide, and have far less public health services available, all when compared with women. One of every five men 25 to 54 is not working. If these symptoms are ignored, and our sons see the “end of men” as their future, they will have little inspiration for life’s journey.
