Warren Farrell has been warning the world for 20 years that neglecting and marginalising young men is going to result in generations of angry men who have checked out of society and will turn to criminality. By every available metric from suicide to educational outcomes, boys and young men are suffering enormously. Drowning people do terrible things. Lashing out at society in the ballot box is going to be the least of our issues soon.
Despite this, I predict society will continue to blame them for their failures, marginalise them, mock them, and pretend that they're privileged. This is going to get worse until people are ready to have a serious society-wide discussion about how we can help young men succeed in the modern world.
Waaaahwaahwaah
Fucking get a grip, women have had to deal with way more shit historically and contemporarilly and haven't become shit heel fascists and bigots. This is male supremacists upset at their power slipping away from them, and yearning to take a firm hand of the whip.
Women get raped and harassed, men get the weepies for not being able to fuck or get a job, turning them into fascist little hitlerites. Get a fucking grip.
