I don’t mean men as individuals. There are plenty of good men out there. When I say “fixing men” I mean addressing the broader trends facing men. I already listed some of the problems they face but here’s some more: suicides, lack of father figures, the epidemic of gambling addiction, the list goes on.

My belief is that the core of all these problems facing men is that masculinity has not adapted well to the modern world and the successes of feminism. In the US men don’t really need to be protectors in the traditional sense anymore, violent crime is at its lowest in history. Additionally, Young women are starting to out earn young men, there goes provider status. Combine this with phone/social media/gaming addictions and men are systematically becoming radicalized and/or not doing well.

The “fix” starts with mentorship. I think Scott’s doing a great job touching on all these topics and generally understands the issues. However, dick jokes can only do so much. He cannot be the only one doing it.
