Lots of red pill truths wrapped in blue pill language, instead of the viewpoint being completely absent. Still pretty blue pill overall but interesting to see the discussion at all.

"brutes", "internet harassment", and "lots of rape" bs, but he also mentions education, feminism, gender relations as reasons the modern world is not well suited for men. The "brutes" label is infuriating, particularly right after acknowledging homework based education problem.
He notes that if the trend towards being "nicer" (more feminized) continues, it's likely to get worse not better. Again, although obvious to us, not so in the mainstream. So what to do?
One response would be to double down on feminizing the men, as arguably some of the Nordic countries have done. But America may be too big and diverse for that really to stick.
This is a pretty amazing statement to see outside of the manosphere. I think he's wrong that it can't stick in america because the trouble is with women and them being the same everywhere. They'll certainly give it a shot.
If this is indeed the problem, our culture is remarkably ill-suited to talking about it
He's not wrong, but again falls short of realizing demonizing men is the source of the problem. One last thing:

The graph is titled "US men more likely to live with their parents than romantic partners". The graph goes all the way back to 1880. Although this is linked to in the article, it's interesting on it's own.
