[edit] Biography
Makow was born in Zürich, Switzerland and moved with his family to Canada as an infant, settling in Ottawa. At the age of 11, in 1960, he began to write the syndicated advice-to-parents column "Ask Henry". Makow has been recognized for his anti-feminist beliefs, citing that a girl's purpose is to marry and produce children before becoming tainted by liberal dogma. [2]
He received his Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Toronto in 1982. In 1984, he invented Scruples, a game of moral dilemmas.[3]
