Boys need a dad to show them how to be men. Popular entertainment (movies, music, social media) are giving boys the wrong messages.

  What you are saying here is, boys need a dad to show them how to be men like their dads, which were told by their dads how to be men - thus to propagate the exact same models as thousand years ago. Assuming that the men of thousand years ago were "true", of course.

    When boys don't have a dad to show them the way, they get their direction from popular media, which didn't exist nearly to the extent it does today.

    The premise of the article is that there is something wrong with men today because they aren't living like men of the past. Within those confines, it very well may be that not having sufficient direct observation of men acting like men of the past is leading today's men to find their own path. Of course, more broadly, the universe doesn't have feelings and this new shape of man simply is what it is. There is no 'need'.

      It’s showing they’re not living like men in the 50s, but I do w wonder how it compares to prior decades. The post war boom is a pretty unique environment
