In the early 20th century, elite boys' schools fostered military cadets, encouraged martial virtue among those they saw as future defenders of the empire and nation, and prized toughness.

Men will continue to participate in a culture that denigrates women wherever they are raised in an environment that celebrates their exceptional status as wealthy men.

A study shows the Asian-American gender academic gap starts later, giving educators insight into how to help boys of all races and pointing to the influence of social pressures.
