Come on. From Brookings, a think tank known weill for its conservative ideology. This concept ("fear for boys) is also framed as fear for white boys" by other conservatives, and both are exponents of a core radical conservative bogeyman: "the growing extinction of the white man."

- dragonwriter 6y ago> From Brookings, a think tank known weill for its conservative ideology. Brookings is a center-right neoliberal think tank, aligned with the currently-dominant faction of the Democratic Party. It is economically conservative, but usually not known for being socially conservative. Indeed, the direct conclusion presented by the piece is more in line with liberal (even progressive) than conservative social thought, invoking intersectionality fairly explicitly.
