The War Against Boys: How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men by Christina Hoff Sommers. Very good read so far.

It focuses on how the education system in America is horribly failing boys and how feminist lobbying has a huge effect on this.

I've read it. It's... deeply flawed, and relies more on anecdotes than data (as well as ignoring data to the contrary) but I trust the intelligence and critical thinking of most people enough to recognize that.

How about you go kindly fuck off. :) Just because a book focuses on things boys suffer from, it doesn't mean it is MRA drivel.

Eh... the author is somewhat of the right-wing ideologue (her essays on why more women aren't in science - she believes that they just can't hack it intellectually, despite numerous studies showing systematic discrimination and discouragement - reveal that she's more than an "equalist" as she claims) so I'd be somewhat wary, but that doesn't necessarily make her wrong about everything.

da, it's fine to focus on the things that cause problems for boys, but to blame it on feminism does sound like complete MRA bullshit. If anything, the major problems boys face are part of what feminism is trying to fix.

....but not really? Major Feminists Groups in the US have been lobbying against efforts to help boys in education. Any effort to help boys is seen as an effort to hurt girls. But Major Feminists Groups =/= Feminists. They are to feminism what PETA is to animal rights.
