Where the Boys Are (4212 words)
In one room, there was sympathy for boys who yearn to be gentle, nurturing, and openly emotional but live in a society that labels such qualities "sissy"; in the other, there was sympathy for boys who want only to be boys but live in a society that labels their natural qualities aggressive and patriarchal.
It may also be that boys, particularly those from low-income families, often become alienated from school early—both because their slower developmental timetable causes them to fall behind girls and because school is a "feminized" environment with mostly female authority figures and boy-unfriendly rules that emphasize being quiet and sitting still.
Boys are twice as likely as girls to be shunted into special education with labels that may involve a high degree of subjectivity or even bias, but we are talking about a fairly small proportion of all children.
Where the Boys Are - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (214 words)
Where the Boys Are is a 1960 American motion picture comedic film, based on the novel by Glendon Swarthout, about four Midwestern college co-eds who spend spring break in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Where the Boys Are was one of the earlier teen films to explore adolescent sexuality and changing American sexual mores and attitudes among college youth.
In the years since its release, Where the Boys Are, has gradually acquired cult status, and together with the collegiate film High Time is today appreciated as a virtual time capsule of the emerging postwar baby-boom generation, their relationship with the older generation, and the changing lifestyles of 1960 America.
