‘Adolescence’ Does a Disservice to Young Men

Article here. Excerpt:

'Adolescence is the new hit Netflix series everybody’s talking about, based on several instances of teen boys stabbing their female peers in the UK. The murderous protagonist, 13-year-old Jamie, is a white boy from the north of England—a fact many commenters are crying foul over. They say it’s fashionable to demonize white boys as racist, homophobic, or in this case, misogynistic.

But my problem isn’t that white boys are the villains. It’s that the four-episode series demonizes masculinity in general.'
