The book has a lot of interesting information about how the first world environment, specifically that in America is causing boys to become emasculated, slothful, and distracted.  He claims that the major factors influencing this are: endocrine disruptors, video games, stimulants for ADHD, teaching methods, and devaluation of masculinity.  I agree with most of these, and see how some of them have impacted me, and those that I know.  The focus of the book is the impact on men, but I think it can be said that the impact reaches to many women as well.  I know a good number of women who fall into the same category, the big difference being that they aren’t necessarily expected to make something of themselves, and being a housewife is sufficient.  I think housewives can be hard working and full jobs, like the way my mother approached it, but I see that as not being the norm.
