This article hearkens back to an idealized past where men and women "knew their place". The author seems to think that if we go back to medieval times where gender roles and class were rigid, society's problems would be solved. The author provides zero evidence for any of these assertions.
>What happens to young men exposed to pornography, drugs, and video games as a replacement for social purpose and work?
The problems of "bullshit jobs" and unemployment/underemployment are created by capitalism, not by some sort of "immutable biological truth" about men. It's capitalism that strips the meaning from work by adding layers of abstraction that separate your work from the people who benefit (your boss and their bosses) and from the people who use your work (people you may never meet or even know they exist). People want their work to be valued and appreciated, capitalism has no mechanism for that type of feedback. This is one major reason why people quit jobs at big companies to work for startups: you get to reap more of the benefits of your work and you're much closer to the users of your work.
>Without society, men are mostly ferals. You cannot educate ferals, nor do ferals care about the colour of your skin; they only want to spill blood, and all blood is red.
This is an alarming sentiment, again supported by zero evidence in the article. Biological arguments as a basis for "the way things should be" are incredibly suspect.
