Well, it’s just data. Men are four times as likely to kill themselves. If you walk into a morgue and you see five people who’ve died by suicide, four of them are men.
Men are not attaching to school, they’re not attaching to relationships, they’re not attaching to work. One in three men under the age of 30 has a girlfriend, while two in three women under the age of 30 have a boyfriend. You think, well, that’s mathematically impossible. It’s not, because women are dating older because they want more economically and emotionally viable men.
And the gag reflex you get from progressives and women when you start talking about struggling young men is understandable because no one was talking about it. And then some very unproductive voices entered into that void and this “manosphere” emerged where it was more what I would refer to as thinly veiled misogyny, where it starts off good, it starts off with “take control of your life, be more action-oriented, be physically fit,” and then it starts to go to these really ugly places — treating women as property, showing them who’s boss. And so the voices that entered this discussion initially were really unproductive voices.
