It's serious enough that it's led to suicides[1] and suicidal ideation[2][3][4].
Fortunately, a research lab called Foregen is near to a solution to reverse male genital mutilation[5].

This is a phenomenal thread on the subject by a senior research fellow at Oxford:

Are there guides you found helpful?
how do you make it work “on top of the parent”? e.g. how can the parent ensure not to roll over and suffocate the child?
Even if you try to meet in the middle–such as a small, walkable college town–it seems they also have issues, e.g. being rife with belligerent, violent drunks because alcohol is paramount to the "college experience" and virtue signaling is at all-time highs.
Europeans tend to hold their liquor better because it's introduced earlier on. I've also yet to see dominance displays[1] used to signal high status, a behavior akin to primates. I attribute this to sexual competition, which isn't as stressful in Europe because of more lax attitudes towards sexuality and stricter penalties/attitudes towards violence.
I personally think the best option is to make your money in the U.S., or have a thriving business that can be operated remotely, then move ~15 minutes outside of a European or Asian city center, though I'm open to alternatives.
Americans are far more violent, crass, and "independent" (selfish) than their European counterparts, despite having greater opportunities for a high income.
I've seen someone get knocked unconscious because he called a gentleman out for skipping to the front a restroom queue. I've seen trivial altercations over nonsense[1]. Words (air) lead to violence far too often. Whereas in Europe, people just ignore you, or brush you off as ridiculous/insane.
And you can't complain about crime because it's racist[2]. The ethnic strife is increasingly reminiscent of the Balkans. I wouldn't be surprised if the U.S. fractionalizes within the next few generations.
I don't feel safe, ever. I work from home and order everything via Amazon.
My plan is to earn enough to buy a house plus a 5-year cushion, then return to Europe or explore Southeast Asia.

Latin America and Scandinavia sound nice, but I don't have the foresight to determine whether those would be good long-term choices. Cultural difficulties, language barriers, immigration crisis, economic solvency, and so on.
if so, what stops you from going into management now?
