Young men are more likely than women to drop out of college, commit suicide, and support far-right parties. But while misogynistic influencers like Andrew Tate are correctly blamed for fueling the incel manosphere’s backlash against feminism, there is a lot more to this story than incels, culture wars and wokeness. From stagnant economies and unaffordable housing to fears of cultural obsolescence, young men are grappling with a myriad of challenges that seldom enter the public discourse. So what is really behind the growing political rift between Gen Z Boys and Girls?
In the video we talk to Richard Reeves, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of the book “Of Boys and Men” where he explores all the ways in which the modern male is struggling. Alice Evans, visiting scholar at Stanford University, who is travelling around the world to study this divide and makes the point that lagging economies, corporate algorhythms, and patriarchal mentality can explain this backlash. And Neil Shyminsky, Professor at Cambrian College and famous on TikTok as @professorneil, who sees in Influencers like Andrew Tate as a main threat.

This entire talk was about the loss of flase ideologies of masculinity. The reality is that we live in a world of matriarchy. If more men, particularly EU men, were connected to their indigenous roots, they would understand that fact quite simply. EG Norse, pagan, and many cultures from their roots had women and non-binary people as the spiritual leaders, gods, and healers. Women are the givers of life, the earth is a feminine being. You aren't losing anything from not doing manual labor, Many famous Greeks were orators.
You are regaining knowledge of how the natural world actually is, and yes, if your masculinity is defined by muscle strength, then you are in crisis. This is a whole episode of "us" vs them, when in truth there is NO competetion, we either help each other gain equity or you don't.
