To Raise a Boy
By Brown, Emma
How will I raise my son to be different? This question gripped Washington Post investigative reporter Emma Brown, who was at home nursing her six-week-old son when the #MeToo movement erupted. In search of an answer, Brown traveled around the country for two years, through towns urban and rural, affluent and distressed. In the course of her reporting, she interviewed hundreds of people - educators, parents, coaches, researchers, men, and boys - to understand the challenges boys face and how to address them. What Brown uncovered was shocking: 23 percent of boys believe men should use violence to get respect; 22 percent of an incoming college freshman class said they had already committed sexual violence; 58 percent of young adults said they've never had a conversation with their parents about respect and care in sexual relationships.
