Over on YouTube, Chris Williamson and Nicholas Eberstadt had a discussion a few days ago about why so many men are checking out of society: They made some interesting points in the video about how men have retreated from relationships, friendships, and society in general and noted that 50% of men between 18-30 aren’t looking for casual or long-term relationships. However, I didn’t think they had a lot of great insight into what was going on.
Fatherless homes, indoctrination in schools that teach self-hatred and degeneracy, and woke service organizations are a real stumbling block against steering young boys and men onto the track that will help them become contributing members of society. I fear for my grand son and the future before him. He has a good father and mother, which truly may be the most significant positive in his outcome, but he goes to a public school, and while his dad is an assistant scout master, my grandson would far rather play games on his iPad than do rowdy boy things. Parental controls are in play, and while he isn't resistant to them to the point of animosity, he's only 9. When he's a few years older, what then?
Thank you for your article regarding these issues that are, by and large, ignored by mainstream media and society. I grew up in the 60-70’s. One of the issues i have observed is women invading ‘male spaces’. Powerful feminists would treat this as a problem to be solved. An abomination where women must be allowed in. Ironic that today women are complaining about trans men invading women’s spaces. A complex issue I’m not weighing in on here.
The Boy Scouts is a good example. So you have men in our society unanchored, while women’s groups pop up like mushrooms after a rain storm. These groups are celebrated. It’s like our society is at war with men. You hear it constantly about defeating the patriarchy or ‘toxic masculinity’.
It’s up to men to change and adapt in this new world. To no longer be apologetic for standing up for their civil rights and for demanding our own spaces.
In Australia they have created the ‘shed’ program.
A space for men, young and old to be with other men. We must get past the perspective that we don’t want to be victims. The key is to look at it as social warriors who are creating a better world for young men coming up behind us. Our grandfathers and fathers did that for us.
