Have you noticed how many "guys" there are these days? Not boys or men, but "guys." Hymowitz has, and she has an explanation about why that is. Julie Klausner, a comedian and author, describes guys as ones who "talk about Star Wars like it's not a movie made for people half their age; a guy's idea of a perfect night is to hang around the PlayStation with his bandmates, or a trip to Vegas with his college friends."
Hymonwitz spends a lot of time talking about girls and women in a book about boys and men, but she does a good job of explaining why she thinks the "child-man" is becoming the norm.
An interesting, if sometimes dry, read. Some funny passages as well. Be careful or you might find yourself thinking "oh, that's what's wrong with that kid...."
