But I don?t recognize myself, or the parents I know, in Elliott?s portrait of naivet?. As the mother of a teenaged girl, and inspired by my Slate colleague Hanna Rosin?s deeply researched work on why modern males are crapping out, I offer my own pet theory on the failure of high-school-aged boys to perform as well academically as girls. Next time you drop your high-schooler off, take a look around at the other kids. In warm weather, standard girls? attire is Daisy Dukes and some minimalist chest covering. When it gets cold, they switch to leggings so sheer they make me think of that nightmare in which you show up in class having forgotten to put on your skirt. Sure, I?ve tried to make the case to my own child that more clothing would be better, but she responds that all the girls are dressed this way. And she?s right! But I am not under the misconception that these girls aren?t fully aware that their male classmates, suffering reduced blood flow to the brain, are walking into walls. ?
