Black and Latino boys have the flu; white middle-class boys have a mild cold. Q: There are economic consequences for men who don’t pursue college, but you cite social implications as well.

Some women there (said) it was not uncommon to see these parties where girls would get into this bizarre competition to win a guy who maybe even wasn’t worth winning. And these guys were total players. The minority sex sets the rules, animal house rules, and these women would do very demeaning things just for the competition.

But if I had a son, I wouldn’t want him to develop these
