The State of Men's Issues
The podcast highlights the increasing struggles faced by men, noting that suicide rates among men have risen significantly, particularly among young men, with a 40% increase since 2010. Additionally, boys are falling behind academically, being half as likely as girls to be in the top 10% of high schoolers by GPA.
