> But he's also really facile about underlying economic causes. It's easy to blame problems on "our culture has been broken by the wokes!", but many of the problems of young men are not unique to them. Fewer women are entering college, also. Women are dropping out of the workforce, also. More young women are living with their parents, also. Is that because they lacked strong masculine role models?
You're not wrong, but at the risk of drawing an unhelpful analogy, I'll point out that the "all lives matter" response to "black lives matter" missed the point in the same way. Of course the prospects of everyone is important, but describing how young men have distinct and perhaps underappreciated experiences should be a viable conversation that doesn't get bogged down before it really gets going.
