Why Young Men Are Walking Away: No College, No Marriage, No Dating.

[00:00:00]Do you guys remember when we covered the decline of the American male? It was a book written in 1958, which shocked pretty much all of us to think that there were these issues that you guys are feeling back then. Well, a new report just came out that reminds me very much of that book. It's about the demoralization of the young men right now, ages 18 through 29.

[00:00:32]The echo that it is of the decline of the American male just shows you that nobody did anything about it back in 1958. In fact, it got worse. And some of this stuff you guys are going to know. Obviously, I'm not just going to cover what the report says. I'm going to give you my opinion opinion of what I think women contributed to this and um I use contributed and not a positive way. So, welcome back to Far from Eden.

[00:01:29]The surveys that were conducted where this information came from were conducted between April 7th and the 15th in 2025. Obviously, not much has changed since then because as I said earlier, nobody wants to do anything about this.

[00:01:48]In fact, it is my opinion that it's all on purpose, but whether you think it's on purpose or not, it's happening. And um the best thing I can do is talk about it. It was a representative sample of 2,000 men ages 18 through 29 living in the United States. I think you can extrapolate that to pretty much the West. In fact, some countries like Australia and the UK, as you guys have told me and from what we see out of those countries, the feminism is worse and the men have said it's much worse over here. Um, and we kind of have to do our own studies because obviously mainstream sources aren't going to want to do this. So, we are relying on the Institute for Family Studies. I think they actually do really good work. Um, I think they're the only ones doing some of this work. In fact, they are the ones who determined or, you know, got through through surveys that women with families and children are the happiest. You're not going to see that a lot of places.

[00:02:54]In fact, everywhere else it's like single women are the happiest. What planet are you on? Anyway, this is going to be the introduction and kind of a summary and then I'm going to let you guys tell me if you want me to go deeper as we continue because I am more than willing to do a a um series on this. America's demoralized men part one worthy aspirations trying circumstances.

[00:03:27]Young men are the subject of growing public attention. They are often described as languishing compared to earlier generations of men and young women. And both popular and academic writers have turned a bright light on their struggles. As commonly told, the story is one of crisis.

[00:03:46]Combining negative social and economic data with their situation with disconcerting claims about what is happening among them. and see, you know, prior to, you know, earlier generations.

[00:03:59]Well, yeah, it's worse now, but I think what people extrapolate from that is that somehow it was idealic in the 50s, and it most certainly wasn't. That was the rat race, keeping up with the Joneses. And we know who was cracking the whip for the men to do that, right? It's not the men that want to keep up with the Joneses.

[00:04:24]Not at all. Accounts of this crisis emphasize several troubling trends.

[00:04:29]Fewer young men go to college, for instance, and and fewer of them come away with a degree. Just 41% of degrees are now awarded to men. Young men have higher rates of conditions such as ADHD and autism and have more problems with um substances, gambling, porn, and the law.

[00:04:53]Now, I said I was going to give you my two cents. Um there was this crazy study back in the day, back in the 1940s. It was, you know, said to be conclusive that autism was caused by mothers not paying enough attention to their children. Can you believe that? Isn't that atrocious?

[00:05:26]Isn't that so sexist to say such a thing? I mean, we know that can't be true. In fact, they disproved it, you guys. They disproved it. They realized that this was upsetting the women, the mothers. It was upsetting them. So it it clearly it was clearly not accurate.

[00:05:53]Yeah, that's interesting. So anyway, so autism's, you know, higher and higher among men. Boys need more connection with their mothers. Little boys do.

[00:06:03]That's actually scientifically true. Uh they they they just do. It's uh it's biology. You need to trust the science.

[00:06:12]Now, that I'm not being sarcastic about.

[00:06:14]Well, kind of.

[00:06:19]Many young men today have lower earnings and career prospects compared to earlier cohorts. They have fewer friends, socialize less, and are less civically engaged. Well, they're not civically welcome, right? They're going to be Yeah. They really want to participate when they're told their masculinity is toxic.

[00:06:39]When they're going to be pulled into HR for every reason under the sun, when they have reason to be worried if they're in, you know, a meeting room or an office of a woman and the doors closed cuz they don't want to be, you know, they don't want to accidentally harass somebody.

[00:06:58]There's going to be a lot of sarcasm here. I want YouTube to push this video out.

[00:07:04]Hopefully, you guys are fluent.

[00:07:07]Fewer are making a timely transition to adulthood by meeting such milestones as having a full-time job, being financially independent, living away from their parents' home, and getting married, and having children.

[00:07:21]When the mother primarily is in charge of bringing the boy into manhood, the whole idea of, "Oh, don't do that.

[00:07:32]You're going to hurt yourself. Oh, don't do that. Oh, my poor baby. Oh, it wasn't your fault. Oh, your boss shouldn't have told you that. Your teacher shouldn't have told you that, etc." Can be stunting.

[00:07:45]And that is what I see. Now, I said this just my opinion, but I I think I'm right.

[00:07:55]I might be wrong, but I don't think so.

[00:07:57]That's kind of the kind of the jive here, the the vibe. I don't know what I'm saying. Okay. And I'd also like to say that I think this is much more prominent in the home with a single mother, but you should know that oftent times you will get single mother outcomes when you have a two parent home. How could that be, Aaron? I'll tell you. Because if she's totally in charge and she gets sort of in between dad laying down the law, dad pushing the son, dad, you know, doing things that mommy thinks are too bad, not good for her baby boy. Think about how many call the baby boy. I've heard that way too much. Then you might as well, you don't have a father in the home at that point, right? You've got a simp dad.

[00:08:54]It's terrible. As a March 2025 report by the UK's Center for Social Justice put it, quote, "The deeper truth is that too many boys are growing up without the guidance, discipline, and purpose they need to thrive."

[00:09:09]H who does that? Who does the guidance, discipline, and purpose for boys, right? Fathers. Fathers do that. Like I said, if mommy gets in the way or there's no father because well, you know, then this is what we end up with. These general trends have been well documented in our new survey of young men conducted by Yuggov between April 7th and 15, 2025 with a representative sample of 2,000 men ages 18 to 29 living in the US. We found them too. But what do these trends mean? That's the crucial question. And to offer interpretation, we asked both how young men are doing at this time of their lives and why so many are facing the challenges they do. Of course, a lot of ink has already been spilled on this topic. The extensive commentary on the crisis has produced a variety of explanations. Here is a rough summary of three of the most common ones. Yeah, I'm going to have a few more explanations like I've already said with the autism and the you know guidance and discipline stuff.

[00:10:27]Structural changes. A size of the literature highlights the role of structural changes as the most important contributing factors.

[00:10:36]struggles of young men are symptoms of wider economic and educational alterations such as the offshoring of manufacturing and unfavorable school policies that have weakened the opportunity structure for men well and the fact that schools in the first place you know starting kindergarten are designed for the way that girls think and learn. Sit quietly, feet flat on the floor, folded hands and sit up straight.

[00:11:05]Now class, sit here for six hours and listen to me. And the boys are like, I'm going to lose my mind. I need to climb a tree. I need to dig a hole. I need to run. I need to jump. I need to explore.

[00:11:19]No, you don't. You have ADHD. There's something wrong with you. Why? Because you can't sit like little Lucy over here. Look how quiet she is. She's a girl. That's how they learn. that you're a bad bad boy if you're not like her.

[00:11:40]Idle young men. Some accounts make life excuse me. Some accounts making little reference to political economy focus their explanations on deficiency in young men themselves caught up in self-indulgence.

[00:11:56]A substantial number of young men have become resigned to idleness, addicted to screens and filling their hours with virtual distractions. Their failings reflect passivity, lack of ambition, poor work ethic, and a purpose void. You know where you're supposed to learn those things as a child.

[00:12:20]If you are a young lad and someone is constantly putting a screen in your face because they can't be bothered or they're too busy or they've had a hard day at work, guess what you get addicted to. If you are a young lad and nobody teaches you discipline of, okay, yes, video games are fine, but there is a time and place for them. You must, you know, do your chores and etc. and you know school work whatever it is first and then do that again that's the discipline who isn't teaching that right exactly exactly because you know if she's driving in the car then it's just like oh sh here's your screen here watch this hey when you're a baby watch coco melon because she's going to be a girl boss. She's too tired. She's whatever. She can't be bothered, right?

[00:13:27]And yeah, okay, maybe I'm being too hard on us, but I don't think so. I don't think so at all. I think, you know, I think women have responsibilities in this life. I think mothers have responsibilities in this life. And I will say I think mothers are so important that when they don't do what they're supposed to do, it has catastrophic results across society and it affects the boys that they raise.

[00:14:00]Mothers are so important. And when you devalue motherhood and you elevate other things for women, then maybe some people slip through the cracks. And I think it's you guys. I think it's you guys. And like I said, this is ages 18 through 29 now. But remember the study I told you about that talked about autism in the 1940s?

[00:14:28]Why would they ever think that's a problem? Because that is the beginning of women starting to enter the workforce on mass. Wasn't on mass in the 40s, but it was creeping up there.

[00:14:43]I mean, it's just a correlation, but I've been waiting to bring it up.

[00:14:52]I've been waiting to bring that up in a way that I could and um be, you know, YouTube friendly. We love YouTube.

[00:15:06]Okay. Failed socialization.

[00:15:09]Another school of interpretation centers on failed socialization brought up under the old rigid masculinity norms.

[00:15:18]Family Studies, Institute for Family Studies. Don't do this to me. Another school of interpretation centers on failed socialization. Brought up under the old rigid masculinity norms. Young men have not learned emotional openness or to express vulnerability. Excuse me.

[00:15:38]They are constantly prodded to be more emotional. Be more emotional. Tell me your feelings. Talk about your feelings.

[00:15:44]Talk about your feelings. Maybe that's not how men deal with it. Also, when they do show vulnerability as they get older, they are chastised for it.

[00:15:55]They're chastised for it. We shouldn't pretend that that's not true. Every single one of you, just about every single one of you will tell me, "Yeah, you cry in front of her and it's over."

[00:16:06]So, seems like rock hard place men crush.

[00:16:13]Oh, it's just I'm getting angry.

[00:16:16]Now lonely and isolated, they have withdrawn into a kind of antagonistic reclusion and increasingly come under the sway of the toxic masculinity promoted in the online manosphere.

[00:16:28]They're talking about us. From this poisoned well, many are embibing resentment, nihilism, and misogynistic attitudes towards women.

[00:16:38]Look, I just said mothers are important.

[00:16:43]I mean, what else do you want from me?

[00:16:46]This is It just goes to show you. You think Institute for Family Studies is actually different? No. If they were, they wouldn't let us see it. It wouldn't exist. It's like a like a what do they call it? What do you say? Control opposition.

[00:17:06]It's okay. It's okay. I I'll add what needs to be added.

[00:17:11]You know, let me just Okay, so when you guys get upset and you resent this, then you're toxic. When you have a sense of nihilism because you're looking at reality, then you're toxic.

[00:17:28]When you start to go, "Hey, um, what's up with the ladies?" Now you suddenly hate them. That's not true.

[00:17:38]All of that, them saying that, that's what's toxic.

[00:17:43]What they're saying is not okay. They are saying, even though they want you to be in touch with your emotions and show your vulnerability, didn't they just No, you're not allowed to. You're not allowed to be upset about any of things, any of the the war that's against you. You're you're you're meant to think it's somehow in your mind like you invented it in your mind and you know and and you will be chastised if you even make a peep about it then you're in the manosphere right it's not true okay it's not true while these arguments are not exhaustive they represent some of the principal theories when we designed our survey these were some of the claims we sought to investigate. We wanted to hear from young men on these matters, perhaps indicative of their status. Now, their voice is often absent from this discussion. Others speak for them, but what do young men say? What does coming of age mean to them or masculinity or going to college?

[00:18:48]I'm sorry, but the men waking up to the fact that college is a scam is a good thing. So it is the scam for the most part unless you want to be an engineer or doctor or this or that. But then again, you know, none of the scholarships are going towards you. You don't get celebrated or encouraged or anything like that. Not that you need it, but to sit there and watch other, you know, the fairer the fairer gender get all that.

[00:19:14]I mean, what you go, what's the point?

[00:19:16]Why would I want to elevate try to elevate myself in a society that despises me? Also, and I've heard this from some of you, quite a bit, quite a few of you. Why would you want to, you know, excel and everything in a big career if there's no family to have? If there are no wives out there and there are no mothers, you know, that would be, you know, willing and able and good at raising your children, what's the point exactly? And all your taxes go where?

[00:19:54]Right. All the subsidies go where?

[00:19:58]Yeah, you're not going to want to work for a system that treats you that way.

[00:20:03]It's really inconvenient for these people.

[00:20:06]Very inconvenient. And they're panicking about it.

[00:20:12]The whole system that you built is literally still on your backs. And as you start to say, "I'm not carrying that anymore." They're freaking out.

[00:20:21]They are freaking out.

[00:20:26]All right. Where are they about? Oh, yeah. Okay.

[00:20:30]What are their goals and hopes? Who are their role models? What kinds of struggles have they faced? What obstacles do they see in their way? And with what attitude do they confront their future? I mean, we could tell you if you'd really listen, but you won't.

[00:20:46]Already just you've already demonstrated that. Given the length, we have broken the report into two parts. For part one, here are some of the most important things we learned.

[00:20:57]The defining standards of adulthood have continued to change for young men.

[00:21:03]Once conventional benchmarks like marriage and parenthood long ago moved to the bottom of the Okay. Once convention once conventional benchmarks like marriage and parenthood long ago moved to the bottom of the list. Wonder why. But in the past two decades, the formally central place of completing formal education has slipped as well. Now considered extremely important by only 31% of young men, far below newer standards like being independent personally 51% and financially 53%. And although defined in individual terms, the feeling of having reached full adulthood is paradoxically highly correlated with the old benchmarks.

[00:21:49]I'm going to talk about this in a second. Being married and a parent, working full-time, and completing college or trade school. Hence, even among men ages 24 to 29, less than half, 41% report definitely feeling like adults. Right? because there's no family or prospect of one.

[00:22:11]It's like they want you to change what you think the benchmarks should be. You know, like how the women have changed.

[00:22:20]The women have changed. They think it's college. They think it's, you know, what does it say? A formal education, you know, your career for just no reason at all. just financially because financially, you know, money because money, job because jobs are awesome, working is awesome. It worked for us except we're kind of getting miserable, but never mind that, right? No, you guys are like, actually, we don't think that's what life's about.

[00:22:56]We don't think that's what actual adulthood means.

[00:23:00]We're not that shallow.

[00:23:03]Maybe maybe that's what men are saying.

[00:23:05]Maybe that's what young men are saying.

[00:23:06]Sounds a lot more adult to me than thinking I just want to get rich. Now, are there those? Sure. Sure there are. I don't think there's as many as they would have us believe. But, you know, controlled opposition.

[00:23:22]Did I say that? Like Andrew Tate sure wants you to think that's what's going on over in the manosphere.

[00:23:33]They wish it was they they wish it's it would be much easier to paint you as the enemy because they're sure struggling to do it.

[00:23:46]Young men are having a hard time in matters of love.

[00:23:52]59% were not in a romantic relationship at the time of the survey. However, despite obstacles ranging from job instability, I don't know that you could call it instability.

[00:24:05]That makes it sound like you guys are just not good employees or it it really kind of makes it on you.

[00:24:16]And I don't think that that's what at least I'm trying to, you know, communicate and what I draw from this data.

[00:24:26]That's why I felt the need to cover it.

[00:24:28]I mean, you can read it on your own, but I think the women need to call out where we see the issues with women.

[00:24:38]However, despite object obstacles ranging from job instability to doubts about the availability of suitable partners, most men who are not in a relationship are open to dating. 74% So 59% are not in a relationship, but 74% of those are open to dating.

[00:25:06]What does that mean? Does that mean they don't want a relationship, but they would date? Or does it mean that a lot of them are completely overlooked by women because they don't have they don't they don't give them the feels.

[00:25:22]they don't give them the spark or there's just a lot of women out there who are interested in riding the carousel.

[00:25:35]Most unmarried men desire marriage.

[00:25:40]68% with another 21% unsure. Most unmarried men. I have to repeat that.

[00:25:47]That's that's okay. We're talking about 18 to 29 year olds. Most of them who are unmarried desire marriage, 68% with another 21% unsure.

[00:26:06]That's a high number.

[00:26:09]But is it that they desire marriage but there's just no wives?

[00:26:14]Like you would desire marriage if if the laws weren't what they are. If you could meet a lovely lady with, you know, cuz you have standards now and most childless men would like to be a parent in the future. That is something that at least starting in the 80s, and I'm sure it was beforehand, women had no idea about. Women have no idea to this day how much men want to have children, how important it is to them.

[00:26:56]Why on earth would we have no idea?

[00:27:00]Because who taught us that you guys do?

[00:27:05]Everything else teaches you guys that all teaches us that you guys just have one thing on your minds and that's the only reason you get married is just so you can have that regularly.

[00:27:17]It's not true. It's a lie. It's another lie about men. Does it make men look good? No. So, you're saying to me, Aaron, that there are lies out there that make men look bad?

[00:27:31]Weird.

[00:27:33]That's weird.

[00:27:35]Young men view college with a great deal of ambivalence, maybe skepticism.

[00:27:41]Young men who have not gone to college or dropped out before graduating are the most skeptical of its value. But even among men who are attending college or have a degree, half either strongly, 17% or somewhat, 34% agree that college is not worth the time or money. and 60% either strongly 19% or somewhat 41% share the view that they could get a job that interests them without a college degree. Yeah, this is not a bad thing.

[00:28:14]This is not a bad thing unless unless you're the one in charge of, you know, not in charge of, but unless you're the one giving out college loans and benefiting greatly from it and putting people in debt for a very long time. So you basically control them and you know hold them back.

[00:28:33]Your government loves you.

[00:28:36]Don't be silly.

[00:28:38]Okay, this is the graph that they have showing one of the most important majority of young men question worth and necessity of a college degree. Again, this is men aged 18 through 29. And this was these studies were taken these sur this survey was taken last year in April.

[00:29:00]And it just shows that it's um you know what we just discussed. Basically, one of the most important keys to success in life is a college education.

[00:29:14]non-ol 57% college 71 a college degree is not worth the cost of money and time these days yep 64% seem non-ol I can get employment in a field that interests me without a college degree 77 college campuses are too politically progressive or woke these days now that one I can't I can't believe that that would be such neck andneck such a neck andneck situation.

[00:29:47]But there it is for what it's worth. For whatever it's worth, you know, because there's studies and then there's what we know. You need to trust what you're experiencing.

[00:30:02]You just you just do.

[00:30:06]All right. Trade school/apprenticeship is a valuable path to adulthood for young men. While these skilled men are often overlooked entirely by women, we find that those without a bachelor's degree who have completed such programs are employed full-time or self-employed at rates 77% very similar to those of college grads, 80%. We also find that compared to men without a bachelor's degree who did not enroll in or finish trade school, young men who did are much more likely to be married. More likely.

[00:30:42]But at the end of the day, there are a lot of women who want the man to have some kind of job where it sounds good.

[00:30:50]You know, like a pilot or, you know, a finance executive or he works on Wall Street. This kind of nonsense.

[00:31:01]I think it might be changing and I hope it's not just changing out of necessity because women are like, I want to find a husband somewhere. I guess I guess this will do. No, the the trade school guys, electricians, plumbing, all these sorts of jobs.

[00:31:22]Like we said in a couple of my videos ago, there are essential jobs and then there are just kind of Oh, I haven't made the video yet.

[00:31:32]I have that video to make for you guys.

[00:31:36]During 2020, there are certain jobs that had to keep going, right? And other jobs like you better stay home, you're not essential. They accidentally gave it away.

[00:31:48]They accidentally gave away that some of these jobs are like nonsense. Some of these, you know, white collar jobs, most of them are just not even necessary for us to live and survive.

[00:32:01]jobs like nurses, not teachers. Apparently, schools were shut. Um, I mean, plumbers, doctors.

[00:32:12]These were important. These needed to keep going.

[00:32:16]Lawyers kept going a little bit online, but a lot of that was shut down. Weird.

[00:32:21]It's almost like we don't need to sue each other right and left. Weird.

[00:32:26]Okay. Where was I?

[00:32:30]Moreover, these programs may be more accessible or appealing to young men with certain learning related conditions.

[00:32:38]I'm sorry, I guess we haven't insulted you in 5 seconds, so let's just go back to it. Those who have experienced autism, ADHD, or learning disabilities like dyslexia are about as likely to have graduated from a trade school, apprenticeship program as those without a history of these disorders. Then maybe they're not disorders. Did you ever think of that? Maybe they're not disorders.

[00:32:59]I'm sorry if you go to trade school and get one of those jobs that you don't have a disorder, but if you go into college and get some weird silly, you know, underwater basket weaving degree and you think that this is going to be the thing that launches you and and you think that having a job is a privilege, maybe you're the one with the disorder.

[00:33:27]I'm not addressing you guys. I'm not addressing men.

[00:33:34]Meanwhile, a four-year college graduation rates are much lower for men than learning related conditions. With learning related conditions, you know what I think? If you can realize that college is a waste of time, then you probably don't have a disorder.

[00:33:50]Honestly, if you can see truth and reality and you can see that you're not valued and you're being played, you don't have a disorder. But the people who want to play you might say you do, if you know what I mean. I don't know if you're ready to be that conspiratorial, but if not, maybe it's time to start.

[00:34:12]Young men are not enthralled by online influencers as their role models. When we asked who they most likely looked up to as role models, mothers 79%.

[00:34:23]And fathers 69% topped the list, followed by coaches and teachers, 57%.

[00:34:29]Among prominent figures from the worlds of tech, politics, entertainment, and religion, the most Okay, do you have your I'm sorry, I didn't warn you. Do you have a bucket handy? Okay, just get ready. Among prominent figures from the worlds of tech, politics, entertainment, and religion, the most admired role model was former President Barack Obama.

[00:34:50]Whereas the least was online influencer Andrew Tate. All right. Well, this tells you a lot about how you can interpret their numbers. Where were they?

[00:35:01]California. Like, where where were you?

[00:35:06]So the numbers that you see they are left-leaning. They are leaning towards feminism is good. And uh toxic masculinity is a huge problem.

[00:35:23]As if we didn't know that already. But this proves it right here. This proves it. This proves the slant. Oops. You gave it away. Not that I love Andrew Tape, but it does show what we're dealing with here.

[00:35:42]What in the controlled opposition is going on with this? Okay. Most young men say manhood is often viewed negatively in our society, but their understanding of masculinity is not the toxic masculinity of the manosphere. When asked if being a man requires a willingness to sacrifice for others, and whether manhood involves strength, responsibility, and leadership, 89% of young men endorse the first statement and 85% the second statement.

[00:36:11]That says volumes, especially when you consider the sample that they chose picked Barack Obama as the number one role model. And also, can we just address the fact that they said 79% said their mother was their role model?

[00:36:27]You're a man. You can love your mother.

[00:36:29]You can honor your mother, all the rest of it, but she's not your role model, unless you want to be a woman. Like, what are you talking about?

[00:36:40]But like I said, she's the one who dominantly raised you.

[00:36:46]Okay, time for another graphic.

[00:36:49]Okay, I'll just leave this up here as I continue to read. Leave it up there for you. Young men are not apathetic rather than easy accommodation to their circumstances. Our findings suggest that young men's hopes are being frustrated.

[00:37:05]For instance, they want a job that provides them with an adequate standard of living. When asked about their most significant challenge in life so far, many young men's answers concern money and finding a good job. The same concerns play a role in some men's hesitancy toward pursuing marriage. We find that young men care about their status, want to contribute, and are distressed by the gap between their current circumstances and what they really desire for their life. There were many exceptions to these general statements. Young men are not all the same. Why does it say that? Like we know many are not in crisis but thriving and some are struggling mightily in just the ways that certain critiques overgeneralize. But in broad terms these results hold true. Why demoralization?

[00:37:52]Oh, can't wait to see what they say. For the survey, we took a question from the oftenus Rosenberg self-esteem scale which asks respondents how well the following statement describes them. All in all, I am inclined to think that I am a failure. Nearly half of young men ages 18 to 23 say this represents their view of themselves at least somewhat well.

[00:38:24]While 38% of those ages 24 to 29 say the same, only 32% of men ages 18 through 29 reject this characterization.

[00:38:34]As we will see, these numbers do not mean that young men have lost hope in themselves or their future. But the sense of being a failure is one measure of a more general and frankly heartbreaking demoralization.

[00:38:48]Well, turns out if you blame them and you expect them to think like women and sit like little girls in class all day, they might start to have that.

[00:38:58]As we analyze the results of the survey, what stood out was not the indifference or lack of worthy aspirations, but the trying circumstances facing today's young men. Their ambiguous and socially marginal position is taking a heavy toll on them. Young men are not where they want to be. Often feel trapped and are unsure of what to do. At least in the near term, they are not optimistic that things will get much better.

[00:39:27]You guys, you know, yep, feminism is key with this. It plays a huge role in this topic.

[00:39:45]The fact that they look up to their moms, 79% of them look up to their moms as their greatest role model and such a huge percent of them feel like a failure.

[00:39:58]Uh, I see a connection there because if you look at your mom as your primary role model, I think that that was your primary caregiver. I think that was your primary parent. And I think our society has told us and we've believed it that women are just better raising children. And that's true when they're little buddies, you know, toddlers to 5 years old. Then our role changes and dad's role changes.

[00:40:30]But the change part hasn't been happening.

[00:40:34]And the way that our our schools have always been better suited to little girls is huge. Kids spend like seven, eight hours a day in these institutions.

[00:40:56]That's a lot of time.

[00:40:59]And it's set up for more for little girls to thrive. And you don't have to pick conspiracy theory. You can say, "Well, I don't know if it's set up that way." Fair enough.

[00:41:09]But it is set up in the way that it's easier for girls to do well than it is for boys.

[00:41:18]And if you're in class and you're constantly being corrected and you're constantly getting in trouble, I've heard so many of you say that your experience, your school experience was that you saw the little girls not getting in trouble, but the boys always were. The teacher usually took the little girl's side. That is what you guys have said. What does that do to a boy's psyche? And do you think using logic and reason and your own experiences, do you think that's gotten better or worse as time has gone on?

[00:41:51]Before 1980, the majority of teachers were men.

[00:41:58]And afterwards, that changed and changed and changed and changed. And you see where we are now.

[00:42:05]Again, just a correlation. I haven't done a bunch of studies, but little boys are little boys are demoralized. They get you when you're a little boy. Do you think it's gotten that's gotten better or worse since you know the change of who's doing the teaching?

[00:42:32]These are realities and nobody talks about it.

[00:42:42]You're not You're not crazy. Okay, you're not crazy.

[00:42:47]Yes, the young men probably do have it worse because it just keeps getting worse. All of these things keep, you know, feminism grows and more women buy into it.

[00:43:01]There's a little bit of a push back now, but more women bought into it and took it to higher levels as time went on. At the same time, you see the downward trajectory of men in society.

[00:43:16]I don't think they thought that you guys would ever say, "Nope, I'm not doing it." I don't think they ever thought you would walk away. I don't think you'd ever say, "Um, excuse me.

[00:43:31]I'm not going to do that."

[00:43:34]They never I don't They thought you would just keep on being the work mules for all of society with no appreciation, no respect and all the blame.

[00:43:50]And men aren't taking it. They're not.

[00:43:54]They're not.

[00:43:57]Young men are more vocal about it than any of the generations beforehand.

[00:44:02]They're more awake to it. Maybe because it's more obvious. I don't know. But I encourage them to continue to speak up.

[00:44:11]You're going to be called misogynistic.

[00:44:13]You're going to be called this, that, and the other.

[00:44:16]But we need your voices. We need to hear.

[00:44:21]I especially do because I have the ability because I'm a woman. I'm allowed to say these things a lot more than you are. And I'm gonna keep doing it. So, let me know what you guys think in the comments. Please hit like on this video.

[00:44:33]Hype it up if you can. There's like a little hype button there. Um, it would help so more men can know that this is not just in their head and they're not doing anything wrong by saying, "I'm not going to work for this system."

[00:44:54]Protect your peace. Feed your souls. I love you guys and I'll see you on the next one. Bye.
