“Close reading of tough-minded writing is still the best, cheapest, and quickest method known for learning to think for yourself... Reading, and rigorous discussion of that reading in a way that obliges you to formulate a position and support it against objections, is an operational definition of education... reading, analysis, and discussion is the way we develop reliable judgment, the principle way we come to penetrate covert movements behind the facade of public appearances.” ThinkingWayWritingStillsReadingBehindsKnownPrinciplesSupportMovementPositionJudgmentToughMethodDefinitionsAppearanceDiscussionAnalysisPenetrateObjectionsFacadeCovertThink For YourselfClose Reading Author:John Taylor Gatto

“A huge amount of what feminists are fighting for would have major positive impact for men as well as women. Take the male suicide rate, for example. In part, the problem arises from the idea that men are tough and manly, that 'boys don't cry' and it's embarrassing for them to talk about their feelings. So men are less likely to reach out for help and support with mental health issues. But that gender stereotype, which exists alongside the converse notion that women are over-emotional, 'hysterical', or 'hormonal', is one feminists are fighting hard to debunk.” MenWellsIdeasHardHelpingFeelingsProblemFightingBoysSupportIssuesCryExampleEmotionalHugeAmountMajorsToughSuicideImpactMental HealthMalesNotionRateFeministGenderAriseReach OutStereotypeEmbarrassingManlyConversesHystericalPositive ImpactGender StereotypesHealth IssuesHelp And SupportFighting HardBoys Don't Cry Author:Laura Bates
