Why are men in such decline?

Why are so many young men checking out of work, more men living at home than ever before,

you know, less young men are having sex than ever before, going to college, like less

young men are going to college and before?

Why is this happening?

I think there's many reasons. I've talked about a few of them before, but the one that I don't think has gotten

enough attention is the decades-long campaign of demonizing men and speaking to men and about men

as the fundamental problem with every issue in existence, basically.

And I'm going to use a relationship analogy.

Imagine that you're dating somebody.

And that person starts to tell you that you are a problem, that you're causing them harm,

that you're damaging them, that you're a problem in the relationship,

that any type of dysfunction that happens in the relationship is your fault. And then it gets worse,

right? They start to say they don't need you, they don't want you, they actually would be

better off without you. The world at large would be better off without you, that you're a piece of garbage, that,

you know, that so many of the issues that they face in life are because of you,

you would either move into a very defensive and attack-oriented stance and position,

or you would just start to slink out of that relationship.

Like you'd either, hopefully, you'd exit that relationship entirely.

You'd be like, why the hell am I here?

Or you would just, you would check out, right?

You would literally just check out of that relationship and be like, why in the hell am I
