Sigh. Defending OP I can’t believe I’m doing this … It’s “handwaves” everywhere.
College enrollments of men are dropping. High school attendance is dropping. Schools are not designed for boys. Society has grown to empower women which is good, but in some ways it’s been at the expense of boys.
Now that in itself is not a problem if these boys were represented by healthy role models but in the erosion of traditional families many boy are raised with no, or poor representation which is exacerbating the issue. I’m not just talking about single parent homes. I’m talking about toxic adults that have dug into the battle of the sexes.
My boys will be alright because I’m a great dad and I love women and want to be the rising tide that lifts all ships be they women, lgbt, poc, etc.
I know men my age however who have lost the plot and are more toxic today than they were 20 years ago. These men have kids… Shit is generational.
Good parents raise good kids as a generalization.
