In the contemporary landscape, women have emerged as prominent breadwinners in society. Across the globe, accomplished women continue to champion the cause of women's rights, and their efforts remain noteworthy.

Various studies indicate that approximately 60 percent of college degrees are now earned by women, and this shift is not a mere coincidence.

Moreover, Jennifer Fink, a freelance writer and a mother of four boys, can personally relate to this issue. She has an 8-year-old son who is currently facing challenges in school, especially after the winter break.

Jennifer has been receiving emails from her son's teachers, expressing concerns about his decreased cooperation and engagement.

The modern constraints imposed by the school system appear to be taking a toll on her son's enthusiasm for learning. Additionally, due to the cold weather, he hasn't been allowed to go outside at school all week, further affecting his well-being.

“Yet this son has spent happy hours outside home this week, all bundled up…”, Jennifer Fink emphasizes her perspective, noting that while she acknowledges and appreciates advancements like antibiotics and gender equality, she believes that our present educational system does not adequately cater to the unique needs of children.

In alignment with the views of Zimbardo and Duncan, Fink shares the suspicion that our society is neglecting the well-being of many boys in the process.
