First of all, Scott is such a relatable communicator and is very conscientious about recommending solutions for the issues he raises.
I was born into a matriarchal family structure as a result of a number of factors, interpersonal and societal. And I can say firsthand, a woman cannot raise a man without the help of solid, reliable male role models.
Also, it’s very heartening for me to know that there are other men who see and want to help all of these alienated, disaffected young men and boys.
But make no mistake, the misogyny they exhibit is actually killing women physically, emotionally, and legislatively. And social media just exacerbates the problem.
A lot of work ahead, but appreciate you addressing this issue.
Interesting enough interview, albeit a bit wince-inducing at a time where women's rights are under direct attack.
While men can step in to help provide male role models, there are few realistic solutions to obscene levels of income inequality, which Scott points to as the root causation.
As noted, there are more lobbyists than Senators.
Antitrust law enforcement is stymied by armies of corporate lawyers who vastly outnumber government attorneys.
The few community-based programs for young men largely evaporated after the pandemic. Schools are under-resourced, and too many Americans don't want their taxes raised to fund school programs.
The few solutions that are possible aren't probable with gerrymandering, dark money, a distracted or apathetic populace, lobbyists, Ivy-league law firms, an antagonist SCOTUS, etc.
So, even accepting Scott's premise of the crisis facing America's boys/men, there are no realistic solutions without fundamental changes to our institutions and society.
Rick, IMHO, this interview is a season best.
