"Why Men Fail"

The age-old question of which gender is superior rises again during this New York Times article written by David Brooks. "Why Men Fail" is an article that brings to light the lagging performance of males in school as well as in the work force. "Boys earn three-quarters of the D’s and F’s" is a staggering statistic that is proof that boys are falling behind in school and letting females take the driver seat. The credibility of this source helps back the stats as well as the story. Being a female makes this article, more appealing to me, due to the fact that the statistics and the article as well the book "Why Men Fail" support women and show the true strength of women. "She’s just saying women are adapting to today’s economy more flexibly and resiliently than men" this quote shows that women are strong and are willing to make a change in order to be more successful. I believe that this article is made to be a persuasive article to men. The reason I think this is the fact that it keeps hinting that mean are lazy, not resilient and inadaptable to change. I also think this article is a small reminder to all women to show the progress of the female gender. The article "Why Men Fail" is a great persuasive article to provide evidence to the community that men are lagging in responsibilities.
