How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men by Christina Hoff Sommers The author of the provocative bestseller Who Stole Feminism? returns with an equally eye-opening follow-up. "It's a bad time to be a boy in America," writes Christina Hoff Sommers. Boys are less likely than girls to go to college or do their homework. They're more likely to cheat on tests, wind up in detention, or drop out of school. Yet it's "the myth of the fragile girl," according to Sommers, that has received the lion's share of attention recently, in hot-selling books like Mary Pipher's Reviving Ophelia. This book tells the story of how it has become fashionable to attribute pathology to millions of healthy male children. It is a story of how we are turning against boys and forgetting a simple truth. Boys need love and tolerant understanding. They do not need to be pathologized. |

Fatherless America: Confronting Our Most Urgent Social Problem Author: David Blankenhorn David Blankenhorn's book on Fatherless America is a distubing read. An in depth probe of how men in America came to be replaced by the court system, artificial insemination, and "The other guy". The short answer is that we let it happen. The prognosis however, is not good. The steady erosion of parental rights in the touchy feely 80's went double for Dad's and Father's. It has left us with Murphy Brown's plot device baby, Mrs. Doubtfire's only good enough as a woman, a social welfare system that pushes out dad's by law, and fatherhood as allowed by the court system |

Now, an independent attorney, who spent a year in Wenatchee, pieces together the story of one of the most blatant cases of misuse of power and miscarried justice since the McCarthy witch-hunts. . |
The Myth Of Repressed Memories: Author Elizabeth Loftus, Katherine Ketcham Across the country, families are being torn apart and people sent to prison, all because of a trendy new psychological phenomenon: recovered memory. According to many clinical psychologists, when the mind is forced to endure a horrifying experience, it has the ability to bury the entire memory of it so deeply within the unconscious that it can only be recalled in the form of a flashback triggered by a sight, a smell, or a sound. Therapists and lawyers have created an industry based on treating and litigating the cases of people who suddenly claim to have "recovered" memories of everything from child abuse to murder. Dr. Loftus reveals that despite decades of research, there is absolutely no controlled scientific support for the idea that memories of trauma are routinely banished into the unconscious and then reliably recovered years later. |

Wounded Innocents The Real Victims Of The War Against Child Abuse Richard Wexler Reviewer: A reader from Arizona, USA February 7, 1999 I have been involved with various aspects of the child protective service system for over 25 years. Based on my own experience, this book does not exaggerate the appalling dangers our families and children face at the hands of these systems. I found the accounts, chilling as they are, to be very accurate reflections of what I know to be everyday occurances in our child welfare system. This author has examined the data and the facts and done the homework that all of us should be doing. |

Lee Coleman, Patrick Clancy Book Description EVERY YEAR THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN are sexually abused, but the system created in the 1970's by a few mental health professionals and adopted by law enforcement and child protection agencies is making things worse. In this book, psychiatrist Lee Coleman and attorney Patrick Clancy describe how and why this is happening. By explaining the history of the child sexual abuse prevention movement, and exposing the fatal romance between mental health and law enforcement, the authors show how caring and intelligent people, including police officers, social workers, child therapists, teachers and even parents, may unwittingly create false accusations of sexual abuse. |
