In the empty lives of teenage boys you could talk about their workout habits, there addiction to sex, their obsession to gaming, body image conflicts, immaturity and their own self esteem problems that are just as likely to be as bad as girls. Girls are into gossiping, guys are into gaming, its just the way it is, and the way its always been, but in no way is this “dangerous” its just natural. Sax is just sexist, because everyone out their has problems and there is and equal amout of boys as there is girls going through them, so for him to single out girls saying that they are dangerously empty is wrong, because everyone goes through problems. He talks about individuals that go through these problems mentioned and makes it seem as though it is ALL girls going through this (or a large amount of girls), when in fact they ALL don’t. Guys are going through problems too and they are likely not the same issues that girls are going through, maybe he could mention both sides and also mention some good things on girls. His stats are made up and he has eggagerated everything to make it seem like teenage girls are a lost cause which is wrong.

Saying that girls are more concerned about their weight than guys is true but in what way is that dangerous, whats wrong with eating healthy and going on a run every once in a while. There are girls that do have anerexia problems but not in the way or the amount that he mentions. Maybe he should write another article about “Inside the dangerously empty lives of teenage boys” because this Q & A would be 10 pages long instead of 3, men have an obsession of working out, that is 100 times worse than girls, all they care about is working out, which also means there are taking some sort of suppliment to get them this buff.

Inside the dangerously empty lives of teenage girls
By. Leonard “sexist” Sax

I DO NOT agree with anything written in this article, first off, teenage girls lives are not “dangerously empty”. Everything that has been said in this article is extremly exaggerated and most is not true! He starts off the Q & A with giving stats that more than 1 in 5 girls “is cutting herself and/or burning herself with matches” these stats were made up, this is not realistic in anyway, I attend highschool and am 100% positve that those stats are wrong. A more realistic number would be 1 in 20. He continues to say that girls “corner” guys into oral sex, not true! If anything it is the other way around. He says that he interviews many boys to believe this is true…but realisticaly what boy would say it isnt true.
