@zvmZvm0102 now write the same exact sentence, but replace it with "I'm not that girl's father" and look how that sounds. No body is asking anyone to take care of someone else's kid (well, unless they're girls, middle-class blacks, foreigners, lgbt, not-white) but at least care enough to advocate for their wellbeing as well. That's what that guy was talking about. Again, my wife and I physically SEE this issue every day. The moment any of these young men speak up for themselves, they are immediately stomped on and told to get back to work/class/job-applications.

[@jdajayi92]

@zvmZvm0102 It starts with not making a identity-politics list that literally says "we care about everyone else but you" then incentivizing companies not to hire you because of your genetic makeup. But I also find this funny: When we talk about helping those in need/oppressed we need to be "Men of the Community". But whenever it comes to certain demographics we suddenly say "I need to focus only on my family". I have a family to raise too, and the last thing I'll do is raise selfish children who follow the example of selfish parents (not saying this is you). I can keep them safe while also teaching them to serve others.

The concern to me lies in how the term “toxic masculinity” has, over time, cast a shadow over men as a whole, often painting them in a negative light. It is important to acknowledge that there are individuals-both men and women-who exhibit harmful behaviors, there are also countless men and women who demonstrate kindness, strength, and empathy yet there is a focus on stating men as toxic and this is not healthy for our young male population. Political commentary on the left, has leaned heavily into the narrative of toxic masculinity. This focus has contributed to a divide, where some men feel unfairly judged or generalized as inherently harmful. When phrases like “toxic masculinity” become widely used in this context, there’s a risk of creating a stigma that can make men feel marginalized and alienated. It’s important to remember that toxic behavior isn’t exclusive to any one gender, and an overly narrow focus on men can inadvertently deepen misunderstandings and widen social divides therefore young men seem to feel demonized by this term and cast into a shameful title that would likely lead to resentment and send them seeking a group that accepts them. The narrative seems to have shifted from a pursuit of equality to a desire to dominate one gender over another in an attempt to right the wrongs of the past. Why should we punish those born in the 2000s for the injustices committed by those from decades ago? This misplaced anger toward the undeserving is often fueled by trendy politics and the pursuit of online attention, which is something that warrants closer examination.

Remember how people had been dying because they couldn't afford insulin? Republicans fought tooth and nail against Democrats' attempts to lower the cost. In the mean time, people died. Republicans didn't care. Democrats were finally able to lower the cost. Democrats also did away with pre-existing condition clauses that denied affordable health insurance to millions of Americans. Yeah, Democrats fought for the rights of LGBTQ and women because they have been historically discriminated against. The last time I checked, a lot of LGBTQ folks are not only men but also the parents, grandparents, and spouses of men.

Trump said to the crowd, "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."

Galloway tries to walk a fine line here between his support of some DEI initiatives based on righting historical discrimination and distinguishing how unfair it is that young men are 'paying the price' for the wrongs of the past. The distinction is glaringly problematic. If you are anti racist / support DEI then you support racial discrimination in hiring, in opportunity, in all aspect of the economy and culture to somehow re-balance the ledger to some idyllic standard of equity which can never ever be achieved - regardless of impacts on any perceived historical 'oppressor'. Give aggrieved group power and they will never stop finding new avenues of 'oppression' and resentment to remain dominant. Even in areas where its clear that we have moved well past 'equity' the drive continues. To call out to the Left about young men is falling on deaf ears. Even though women now make up 60% + of college admissions, in most major cities in the US women make more than men, have lower rates of suicide and other metrics - the activist Left will continue pushing the narrative of oppression and men are taking note and moving to the right in large numbers. Some on the Left are careful to distinguish between 'masculinity' and "toxic masculinity" but not enough.

[@rocketsjudoka]

I'm a middle aged man and a martial arts coach and I've been listening to Professor Galloway a fair amount. I agree with him a lot and see the problems he points out. It sounds like in this piece he is talking a lot more about language and how we talk about young men. As he notes there are jobs out there in construction and other trades for young men with a high demand. I agree that we should talk about work like that with as much respect as others fields. I also think that while there is a crisis in masculinity too many see the solution as pushed by people like Aiden Ross, Andrew Tate and Logan Paul of masculinity as being very shallow and focused on "winning." When many young men fail to live up to those images or realized that "winning" isn't something that comes easy they get more embittered and isolated. So rather than building up emotionally and mentally strong men they actually get weaker. I like the message that Galloway mentioned of a model of manhood as duty and service. That being a man isn't about how many women you can sleep with, how many cars you can own or how much money you can make but is about what you can do for your family and your community.

Look at life expectancy, suicide, workplace deaths, homelessness, all violent crime, fentanyl and other drug deaths, imprisonment, education, divorce, alimony, and child custody. In each of these cases men do far worse and the reason I say that men are treated as second class citizens is that IN NOT ONE OF THESE CASES IS IT CONSIDERED A GENDER EQUALITY ISSUE THAT MEN ARE DOING SO POORLY. For example, are there political leaders responsible for coming up with solutions to the 6 year life expectancy gap? No, why would there be? It's only men dying. If women lived 6 years less than men it would be considered a national emergency and there would be national and state-level task forces to resolve the problem.

That's the real problem here imo... great work has been done to give women equal standing in today's economy... but men have not been taught how to live in that more equitable world... no one has considered the fact that women seem to have more job opportunities now because they are doing jobs that used to be reserved for men... but the reverse is not yet the case... most men are not willing to move into industries previously seen as for women... that's a huge part of this balancing act...

Right: if u r a girl w/adhd, school ain’t so easy But according to this school is all types of easy for girls

[@lembergnative7731]

"On average" is a key caveat here.

[@SunnyDaysAOK]

Yeah. There is also the myth that women are kinder, sweeter, etc instead of being just as flawed as men.

The good news for Democrats is that they can reach this demographic. All they have to do is change, and start being better. Just be and do better.

This is an interesting conversation and the statistics on suicide are very troubling. But don't "rural voters " and "black voters " and "LGBTQ " voters include young men?

[@jcc9549]

Right??? It was so annoying to hear Scott first say “young men” and then interchanged it with “young people.” You can’t have it both ways, talking out both sides of his mouth!!!

[@marcevan1141]

@jcc9549 I don't know if the lack of clarity here was deliberate obfuscation or just an unintentional lack of precision. One is left thinking: Do you mean solely white, straight men? (But, then again, they would certainly be included in "rural voters.") Also, I don't think you can have a conversation on this topic without acknowledging the poisonous role social media and the internet in general have played. I do think Mr. Galloway (who, one should remember, is no right-winger) does make a valid point when he says that Democratic economic policies are actually going to help young men and that the Democrats shouldn't pass up the opportunity to talk about that. As a Democrat myself (I've never voted for a Republican and I loathe Donald Trump ), I have often been frustrated to see Democrats struggle to effectively tout their very real accomplishments. My final point is that I do think there is something very wrong with our society. It's something one can just sense, even if it is hard to pinpoint exactly what has gone wrong. These statistics on male suicide are real, and they are extremely upsetting, and they must be discussed. Of course, Donald Trump is not the answer; in fact, what he represents is part of the problem. He has unquestionably (and self-servingly) fanned the flames of irrational fears in many young white men, and he has horribly, perhaps irrevocably, debased our disourse and become a destructive presence in the very fabric of our daily lives.

@@marcevan1141 ….Yeah, given that it’s Smerconish, it definitely was young WHITE men. Lol We can have that conversation about Social media but the fact is, it isn’t going away. All we can try to do is mitigate the damage. Parents of the next generation are at war with the realities of social media demands on their kids. My boss had to realize that her son was left out of conversations with his friends, because he didn’t have Snapchat. So they gave him a goal…get good grades and we’ll let you have Snapchat. He did. What it really comes down to when we talk about these men not building relationships, is how they were raised. Society can’t save some 25 year old who’s addicted to gaming. He’s gone. Lol He chose gaming over meaningful relationships with women. And if he gets a woman, she will take a backseat to the gaming. I know a couple of guys where this is the situation. To be fair, I can’t imaging growing up NOWADAYS, given the distinct issues social media presents for young people. Thankfully, I am able to modulate how much social media I consume. But not everyone has the willpower to do so.

[@SunnyDaysAOK]

Shh! They don't count.

[@SunnyDaysAOK]

@@marcevan1141 I would agree that Democrats suck at messaging. Obama and Biden did great things, but neither had an inkling about how to toot their horn. But, it's not only Trump that has effed up things. It's been a well-organized program, if not just a plain psychological operation (psyop) intent on radicalizing young men. The whole Red Pill philosophy is a staple of the far right with a large cast of messengers trying to entice young men into a twisted, toxic viewpoint.

You can't point to any single event, or issue ... but yes, I think young men today are NOT brought up with the same values as previous generations. What I noticed is - there's less hunger, or drive for success or self sufficiency - which leads to a lack of purpose and anger at the system. Manufacturing jobs going overseas, entry level jobs at all education levels being taken over by immigrants who can work for less (see also H1B visas and the trades), fewer mid-level career opportunities for the remaining jobs, easier access to unemployment benefits, easy access to drugs, video game addiction, online "corn" addiction ... All this happened in stages over the course of the last 40 years with both Republicans and Democrats in charge. One can also blame parental situations with both divorce and a propensity for helicopter and lawnmower parenting styles, making particularly white male children, less resilient. I think Democrats could do themselves a favor by promoting AmeriCorp and National Civilian Conservation Corp. This would open the doors for skills building, camaraderie and lead to increased recruitment in the Armed Forces once young men, particularly, get a taste for working together in real life (and away from screens).

BS.. When I was in middle school and High School I played sports, studied, worked hard landscaping in the summers and hardly had time for laying around. In other words, I was not lazy! I also put myself thru SCHOOL! TODAY'S MOMMAS BOYS WANT EVERYTHING GIVEN TO THEM! P E R I O D!!! I saw the guys in school that were destined to be losers by skipping classes, smoking dope, drinking and partying! I am 65 years old now and earned a pension along with my SS, own my own beautiful home I bought on my own, own a 30 ft RV, A snowmobile, boat and a new truck! PLUS MONEY IN TYHE BANK! THERE ARE TRADE SCHOOLS AND TECHICAL SCHOOLS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY THAT CAN TRAIN THESE GUYS FOR THE TRADES IF THEY CAN'T GO TO COLLEGE FOR PERSONAL REASONS. THEY CAN JOIN THE MILITARY AND HAVE A CAREER THAT CAN CARRY OVER INTO CIVILIAN LABOR FORCE . We are not hand holders for these YOUNG MEN! GROW UP AND BE A MAN!! YOU CHILD MEN!

People also need to keep in mind that modern economic expectations aren't feasible, anymore. The idea of many single people owning a home in a large city by themselves can't be done at large scale. The normal way people organized was in families. Marriage played a role in getting more people into homes. Nowadays, more people are single, particularly because of women's increasing standards, due to their increasing position. Women want to be breadwinners, yet they still want to be treated like a princess by a man with more everything. That, too, is not feasible. People act like the government can fix those things, but they can't fight against reality.
