The Decline of Young Men
Many young men are increasingly checking out of work, living at home, and disengaging from college and relationships, resulting in a significant societal decline. This disengagement is linked to a persistent narrative that blames men for various societal issues, creating an environment where they feel unwanted and demonized. The impact of this narrative is akin to being in a toxic relationship, where constant criticism can lead to withdrawal and a sense of unworthiness. As men internalize this blame and feel attacked, it's understandable that many would choose to withdraw from a society that deems them as the problem.
