> I think there is a coming generation of young men who will also wake up one day and say, "I don't need your redemption, it has no value." And like that, they will no longer avoid or deny shame
This "coming generation" you refer towards is already present and is otherwise known as "the status quo of maleness for basically all of recorded human history".
