There is a war against boys. We medicated an entire generation with psychotropic drugs to make them more passive.

The phrase strikes me as hyperbolic, but I agree there is a real problem underlying it.

My point was that people should base their opinions on CHS' claims on her evidence and arguments, rather than who she associates with.

  • What would you call it then?

    • For me personally, I would try to talk about the specific issues and describe them, as you did in the second part of your comment. I understand there is a definitely place for using a simple phrase to characterize a larger pattern of inequality. Even using dramatic, colorful phrases which capture the imagination also have their place in the world.

      Edit: I'm not trying to change your approach, I'm just being blunt about my opinions. I appreciate your open mindedness.
