“If you go into a morgue and there are 5 people who died by suicide, 4 of them are men. We have a homeless and an opiate problem but what we really have is a male homeless and male opiate problem. Men are three times a likely to be addicted, three times as likely to be homeless, twelve times as likely to be incarcerated. The far right really recognized the problem and started talking about needing to lift young men up. The problem is the remedy from the far right. Their suggestion was the we return to the 50’s where women and non-whites has less opportunity. That’s not the answer. And they began conflating masculinity with coarseness and cruelty. At the same time, the left hasn’t been that helpful because their advice when talking about the struggles of you men is to say… you are the problem. We can still address the problems facing women. But we can also recognize that young men are really struggling and that our country isn’t gonna continue to flourish and women aren’t going to continue to ascend if men are flailing.” - Scott Galloway
