Why is there a lack of attention given to male students to help them succeed?

This could be a ■■■■■ post, but in the event this is serious, there is quite a lot of recent research that American males are falling behind women in education, employment, and health. It’s an issue that is very worthy of serious discussion, so, in the event this is a serious post, I’m posting a few recent articles and a link to a podcast about the topic.

Edited to add that I don’t think that the presence of women’s studies majors or centers dedicated towards helping women succeed is problematic, as the OP seems to suggest. They’re necessary and valuable. It shouldn’t be an either/or in terms of supporting young men and young women, but a both/and.
