Young men are falling behind

Article here. Excerpt:

'Young men are facing a collective crisis of masculinity, but they are too isolated from each other to address it together.

The number of men who report having zero close friends has increased from 3% in 1990 to 15% in 2021, while the size of social circles in general has decreased dramatically. Men feel more lonely than ever before, and they turn to their vices to deal with it.

Addiction to pornography is widespread among young men, and roughly two-thirds watch pornography weekly or more. Men make up the majority of “deaths of despair,” such as alcohol poisoning, while male drug overdose deaths are more than twice as common as female overdose deaths. Moreover, the suicide rate among men is four times higher than among women.

Men have largely been left behind by a culture that talks more about “toxic masculinity” than the positive aspects of having strong male figures. Guys-only spaces, such as the Boy Scouts, are being destroyed, and entertainment franchises, such as Star Wars, are openly hostile to their mostly male audiences. While men are struggling, they are also villainized constantly.

Unfortunately, this marginalization has resulted in many men turning to poor role models, such as pornographer Andrew Tate or antisemitic troll Nick Fuentes. These cranks promote degeneracy and debauchery, appealing to the worst tendencies of men. However, they are the natural result of decades of propaganda against actually healthy masculine behavior.'
