"15% of young men say that they don't have a close friend." 

Inquiry Questions

• Individual Identity: How does the concept of "fragile masculinity" or "toxic masculinity" connect with or diverge from Reeves' arguments about the struggles of men?

• Education and Development: Reeves suggests that schools are not always well-suited to the learning styles of boys. Do you agree with this assessment, and if so, what changes could be made to better support male students?

• Gender Relations: How might an increased focus on the challenges faced by boys and men impact the ongoing conversation about gender equality and women's rights? Is it a zero-sum game, or can both advance simultaneously?

• Personal Reflection: If you were to design a program or initiative to support boys and young men in your community, what would it focus on and why?
