Been doing research on men and women. I used to be on the board of directors of the National Organization for women and i was speaking around the world on these issues and teachers in japan would come up to me and say we have more problems with boys than girls. And i started seeing ultimately in 14 years of research i did for the boy crisis why our boys are struggling and what we can do about it, 56 of the largest developed nations were having problems where boys were pulling behind girls in all academic subjects but especially reading and writing, the two biggest predictors of success so i started saying is something bigger going on and what is the cause of this and why has it developed and i focused, developed nations had enough mastery of survival to allow permission for families to have divorces and for women to raise children without much father involvement or any father involvement so i started looking at those populations and found when there were divorces children did much wors

There the mercy of other groups defending them. We should allow local forces to ultimately defeat them and we must support them with air support, logistical support, and letting Operations Forces share intelligence with them. Only america can convene the collective action. No one else on earth
