When the British American writer Ruth Whippman decided to thaw one final embryo, she was 42 years old. She and her husband had two sons, Solly, then 6, and Zephy, 3. As her pregnancy became visible, most people assumed she was trying for a girl. When she told them she was having a boy, people treated her “as this object of pity,” Ms. Whippman said in a recent interview from her home in Berkeley, Calif. “There was this real sense that boys were somehow disappointing.”Even her mail carrier expressed her sympathy. Ms. Whippman, a self-described liberal feminist, was watching the #MeToo movement explode all around her.

CNN: You start “BoyMom” with an interesting fact that baby boys are not nurtured as much as girls. Ruth Whippman: They’re about six weeks behind baby girls (in development), so a baby boy needs more help with self-regulating with emotions. So, boys need more, and they get less. The story is that boys get girls, and women generally tend to be these kinds of side characters that boys get as prizes for being heroes. CNN: How do we as individual men support the boys and men in our lives?
