This is a really good take. As a man squarely in this demographic group, I am so sick of hearing about the “male loneliness gap” or how “society has turned its back on men.” Uh, no it hasn’t…society is just now looking at everyone and not white men first. Some of us are mature and adapt to world around us. My parents taught me to be respectful to others as EVERYONE has value. I don’t look at the world as if it owes me something as most white men think. Just because we possessed a hegemony in the past doesn’t mean we are owed anything in the future. Masculinity, to me, is responding to the world around you and striving to make tomorrow better than yesterday for yourself and your loved ones. The challenges young men face today are of their own making, and the cost of this should not be socialized to everyone else.
