There are some problems brewing in society for quite some time now. A demographic for which things changed too much, too fast, and not at all for the better will sooner or later react in a way nobody will like.
I remember reading an article [0] a few years ago that was surprising at first and then when I looked around it wasn’t so surprising anymore.

- vharuck 1y agoI haven't read that book, but I might now. It's refreshing to see such a realistic assessment of the problems. IMO, the most important line from that page: >The problems of boys and men are structural in nature, rather than individual; but are rarely treated as such. This is why shame does nothing productive, whether it's shaming boys for displaying "masculine" traits or displaying "feminine" traits. We can't address a social problem by asking every individual to change. That's just not feasible, even if there weren't a "man-o-sphere" and "radical feminism movement" working against it. Heck, even if the root problem was a personal one that each man could solve for himself, our options would still be a society-wide solution or tossing our hands up in resignation and hoping for the best.
