Andrew Yang and Scott Galloway on why young men are failing | Yang Speaks

Extremely unusual to see a politician talking about the plight of boys and men from the left. A few on this reddit have mentioned Andrew Yang as a good example of someone on the left.

There was a study out recently that showed both conservatives and liberals were worried about their own boys... however, liberals were not worried about boys in society and were instead worried about girls. Conservatives were worried about their boys and also boys in general in society

I respect Yang for having the courage to speak out about this. It takes a lot of bravery to talk about men's issues in public in modern society but I do feel like he ignores a huge part of this issue.

These problems didn't just appear out of thin air, they were created and they were created by a movement that wanted to see them come into existence.

I don't know how you can adress the problems men face in society without adressing the actions of the people who created those problems in the first place.

It's like talking about the plight of African Americans in the eighteen hundreds without adressing the transartlantic slave trade.

Yes. I heard yang early in the campaign and he’s the best democrat on boys and men’s issues. He has two sons and one has autism. I think he gets it.

Yep I really think the overall picture is coming together now:

Rise in single motherhood and a school system filled with women: Result is boys have no strong male role models in their lives.

An education system that is built for girls needs over boys (very low physicality, very low competitiveness).

Most jobs favour women over men: Vast majority of jobs in first world country are low skilled service sector jobs. These kinds of jobs suit women over men.

Not to mention now there's a feel in the culture that looks on down men, tells them they need to learn to control their toxicity, that they're evil oppressors, that they need to step down and allow glorious women to shine.

I fear things are only going to get worse. The feminists rhetoric has infested the culture now, people believe the solution is MORE femininity... "boys are failing because of traditional masculine norms". But boys these days aren't even having any chance to fulfill these norms so how can that be the case? The moment they step into school they're neutered and put in a straightjacket.

i like yang. i was disappointed that r/mensrights turned so hard on yang because he made some corny joke about men during a debate once, it was one of the reasons i left the sub. but in all seriousness, he pays attentions to the forgotten man

Andrew Yang is by far the best American politician in recent times (if not ever) for men’s issues.
