You are basing this argument on the title of the thread, the fact that the author of the book is concerned with bad issues in the US happening disproportionately to men. But you have not taken into account what he reasons are contributing factors to those issues. In the first lines of the book review I quoted we read this: "Reeves’s book offers a much-needed overview of the difficulties facing men and boys in the US today. These include a serious reduction in academic achievement, declining wages and employment, poor health, and increasing “deaths of despair,” which are nearly three times higher for men as for women. His book also demonstrates that this “crisis of masculinity” is linked to structural changes, such as automation and globalization[, which have reduced the number of jobs traditionally performed by males. Probably, the book’s most valuable contribution is to show that remedying men’s difficulties can also benefit women." Also you seem not to have grasped that I wrote the OP provocatively to demonstrate how self hate among men is my explanation for the problem. I expected to see great contempt for the manner in which I suggested that men are being made superfluous and are being treated as worthless by liberal focus on equality for women while not addressing the situation with men, a terrible missed opportunity in my opinion.
You came right to women's defense. I have no problem with that. My problem is that the negatives in our culture for men are driving them to the right. How could you possibly find a better expression of the sense of inferiority many are feeling with a name like Proud Boys. Proud my ass. So much violence in our society is the result of immature males trying to prove to themselves they are what our sick culture has taught them it means to be a man. All of this will never get dealt with by laws, gun laws included, and punishment. A man who is punished punishes back, right? Watch TV? I love The Punisher. You?
We need to wake up and liberals have to do better at messaging they care. As the author mentioned, Biden's infrastructure bill will most benefit blue collar men but that was not emphasized enough.
