I read an interesting article (link below) that indicates breast feeding helps boys brains develope in ways and proportions that are different from girls. It shows that breast fed boys make better grades in school. I'd like to know more about this. The same variable was not found to be a correlated with girls.
I've also read studies which show that boys whom come from fatherless homes fair worse in school than girls from fatherless homes.
Combine such factors with all the special programs, funding, Affirmative Action + Title IX policy for girls and you will have the current results i.e."The Boy Crisis" in academic achievement.
We also need to look into the rise in Autism and other factors.
The Y chromosome is susceptible to mutation and as such it is more vulnerable to environmental toxins, endocrine disruptors, dioxins, synthetic and phyto estrogens along with other toxins. All these things have had severe detrimental effects upon males.
Sperm counts have declined 40%! The human species is well on its way to extinction.
The female XX is our base blueprint. It has cross redundant backups to prevent damage to this.
It is my contention that if we do not focus on male health and factors which affect males and the Y chromosome there will be dire consequences to the human race.

The article you cited doesn't clarify that breastfed boys were compared to bottlefed boys while breastfed girls were compared to bottlefed girls seperately. In other words, breastfeeding helps boys CATCH UP to girls in development because baby boys mature at a much slower rate than baby girls. Baby boys are more vulnerable to adversity in critical periods of development, and therefore; the ESTROGEN in breastmilk benefit them more. After all, baby girls naturally have more estrogen. Also, baby boys are MORE DEPENDENT on MATERNAL ATTENTION THROUGH THE BREASTFEEDING BOND because it helps develop cognitive and language skills-something girls mature earlier in. That said, this one reason that the breastfeeding bond between mother and child should be encouraged. Patriarchal attempts to disrupt the breastfeeding relationship by demanding 50/50 custody of a breastfeeding infant, lack of social support and stigma of public breastfeeding, and father's insistence that mothers give up breastfeeding because he thinks he won't get enough sex. There's something with a society that thinks bare breasts in a strip club is okay, but condemns a bare breast to feed an infant. After all, it's all about what benefits the men. That's it in a nutshell.
