Why Do We Hate Young Men So Much?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Our treatment of young men needs to be questioned. Should we accept it's open season on them? Should we accept using them as a punchbag for an emotional battering? Should we expect them to soak up the pressure and absorb everything we throw at them? If you think we should, why are so many young men not living happy lives as well adjusted individuals ready to cope with loving relationships and fatherhood?

We've all tried and failed loads of times. More often than not the process has made us better people. The thought of being jeered in the street, accused of being bad at our jobs, being a bad person who doesn't care and we should quit our jobs would destroy us all, wouldn't it?
...
Paul Bristow, from the Mental Health Foundation, supports the view that there's something going wrong with men.

"We urgently need to know more about why being male is itself a risk factor in suicide and to do more to help men, especially young men, seek assistance rather than suffer in silence," he has said.'

From the article:

'We're all at it. Even one of my favourite writers, Tony Parsons, has started foaming at the mouth. "Show some spine against Costa Rica, England," he wrote in The Sun newspaper on Tuesday.

"Remember the men who pulled on those shirts before you. Remember the nation you represent. Show us that England is still the home of the Three Lions. And not merely a nation of fat, neutered pussies."

Take a moment to read that again slowly: "Fat, neutered pussies."'

Imagine what ppl would say if for example before the women's World Cup, which will be played out in the not-too-distant future, someone challenged the UK team's members to show the world they're not a nation of "fat, lobotomized prissy-bitches"?

I can imagine. And no one would let it pass.
