English term

publish a polemic

Non-PRO English to Russian Art/Literary Other newspaper expression
And what dazzling monsters feminism has created. Little girls used to be made of sugar and spice. These days they are made of an indestructible combination of stamina and ambition. Girls outshine boys at all stages of their development from thumb-sucking to number-crunching. And at last these Amazons are reaching adulthood ready set to head butt the glass ceiling. Backlash was inevitable. An American academic called Christina Hoff Sommers has published a polemic entitled “The War Against Boys” in which she argues that it is males who have become the “second sex”, while girls continue to be cosseted by positive discrimination.
Certainly too many boys loaf around in a state of affable fecklessness – skate-boarding, girl-watching and navel-gazing their way through school, pickling themselves at university and slacking through their careers. The only statistics in which young men consistently beat girls are those for criminality and suicide.
