The gist is that men – especially young men – are in crisis
75% of deaths from despair – suicides and drug overdoses
36% of adult men 18 – 34 years old live with their parents
15% say they have ZERO friends
In 1995, 9% of young men had no sex in the last year, now it’s at 28%
Of those charged for actions on January 6th – 86% were men – many of whom found friendships inside angry white nationalist orgs
In 1980 – UCLA’s admission rate was 74%, now it’s 12%
Ivy league – annually adds 0.2% more seats, while charging 4% more for tuition
Men make up only 30% of valedictorians and 40% of college entrants
The author spoke with young men to describe their ideal for manhood.
Physical strength came up frequently, as did a desire for personal mastery.
They cited adventurousness, leadership, problem-solving, dignity and sexual drive. None of these are negative traits, but many men she spoke with felt that these archetypes were unfairly stigmatized by media and the young women they know: Men were too assertive, too boisterous, too horny. Historically the best access points for men – college, trades, marriage, and household formation – are either stagnant or declining.
Young men need older men like us as coaches and mentors to guide them to use those same positive male traits toward pro-social aims that give them confidence as they find their way, gain greater independence, and start a new generation.
