The Engineered Isolation of Men

Article here. Excerpt:

'For decades, society has been dismantling the three foundations that once anchored men: work, identity, and family. What we call a “men’s crisis” isn’t just about depression or suicide—it’s about systematic disconnection. When a man loses his place to contribute, his right to belong, and the respect that once gave him pride, he doesn’t merely suffer; he disappears.
...
Modern culture mistakes this for fragility: “Men just need to talk more.”
But talking doesn’t rebuild meaning.

What men need isn’t therapy in isolation—it’s reconnection to the structures that once made their lives coherent.'

... is a bad strategy for anyone, esp. men. I'd recommend encouraging men *not* to identify themselves based on their job or career. There are far more reliable things to base one's identity on.
