Re-Engaging Boys With Writing's Beyond Introspection

The growing disengagement of boys from writing and the reasons behind it are explored in this video. Many boys find modern fiction, which often focuses on introspective themes, identity, and trauma, disconnected from their interests. School writing competitions, typically judged by women, are perceived as favoring feminine, introspective stories with progressive themes while overlooking the more transgressive or satirical content that resonates with boys. The author argues for more freedom in these competitions, advocating for a broader range of topics and styles, including dark humor and satire. By embracing diverse forms of writing, the hope is to encourage boys to express themselves more freely and engage with writing in a meaningful way.
