this may be the only video from CNN I've ever fully agreed with (I'm a married black man with a great job and awesome wife). The neglect of young men in America is ridiculous and stupid. As a counselor for college students I see it vividly every day.

But whenever it comes to certain demographics we suddenly say "I need to focus only on my family". I have a family to raise too, and the last thing I'll do is raise selfish children who follow the example of selfish parents (not saying this is you). I can keep them safe while also teaching them to serve others.
@jdajayi92 it's not selfish to fulfill on your responsibility to your own wife and kids. I agree the ethics is unclear, but why should I take money from my own kids college fund to help a single mom pay her bills? I would've told her not to have a kid with a loser, she didn't do that , it's not my responsibility to clean up after other people's mistakes.
Just the other day, there was news of a high school planned to offer classes for game programming. Many boys signed up, but no girl did. The high school canceled the planned class BECAUSE they wanted to get girls into it, and since none of them showed interest, they scrapped it, regardless of the high interest from boys.
@munequa81 Yes, that was EXACTLY it. The females in charge of the H.S. wanted to show off to the higher up females that they were having more girls in STEM. Boys interested in STEM? WHO CARES?
this actually has been the case for ages now. I remember from my school days special STEM courses for girls only where girls would do all the cool stuff while boys weren't allowed. Rates of girls in my year going into STEM for university were still low, but we had quite a few boys going for a STEM major... and failing.
You just unlocked a memory from high school. I signed up for a computer programming class. Probably had like 27 guys and 3 girls. They didn’t cancel it, but they always hammered how they wanted more girls in.

In Germany it's slightly different: Women are the only group to receive affirmative action in higher education, and due to the ancient three class school system, the overwhelming majority of female university students are already from the (mostly white) German middle to upper middle class. As a male, no matter whether you're from a working class or a migrant background, you're expected to politely accept this prioritization.
You are the most privliged group. The reason those things exist for Black people is because we still face racism 'til this day; Black women also face sexism.
Of course not! Those are real issues that affect men as the result of feminism. They won't talk either on the inequality of a man having to give a women part of his wages just because he had a kid with her. Funny how those liberal dependent women need men so much!

When our son was 4 his dad decided he wanted the freedom of not being married and enjoying his mistress who did not have a kid. The only time he wanted our kid around was on holidays so his family wouldn’t be on his back asking where our son was. Our son was diagnosed with autism before he turned 3. That made my ex even less interested in being a dad. Now he’s a lot older and has another son and is trying to do it right this time. But our 19 year old son feels totally abandoned by his dad in every way and is living the repercussions of his dad’s rejection. If I could do it all again, I’d make sure I married a guy like Walz….

Well, actually, from what I heard and read, young male Trump supporters are considered inherently toxic by many if not most young women, especially those on career paths.
That's insane considering the fact that this is the party that once had f-cking FDR. the most pro working class president in the history of this country.
it's full on misandry. did you not see the Barbie movie and how they openly said hateful things toward men for over an hour? it's just accepted at this point that men are slaves and women are somehow the rulers
I agree! I worked with so many women who blatantly called all men lazy and toxic. They always don't see how this is the same as saying "all women are dumb".
There is something to be said about that. For most of human history, people were taught that they were halves of a whole. Feminism taught women that they could be independent and didn't need to equate their value as people with finding a partner. In theory, the same should apply to men, but no one has felt the need to tell them that.
Not always into despair. Many men are by nature minimalists. Men of earlier generations were conditioned by society to care about wealth and prosperity, as a way to make them productive contributors to society. Once you don't care about your society, that offers a tremendous amount of personal freedom.

Young men are struggling, where are their fathers? The same men who checked out on their families, wouldn’t raise their own children unless they had sexual access to the mother and refused to pay child support when these young men were children and raised by a single mother with a single paycheck. These young men should ask their fathers why they abandoned them and didn’t parent them. The biggest hurdle these young men face is the lack of a father who cared more about their children than themselves.
@@chitychitybangbang2823 Why are you assuming the men "checked out"? A divorce or separation is a two-way street.

But how many of us actually know people like that and know for a fact the supposed deadbeat guy just 'checked out'? Is there no blame to be found on the other side of the equation?

I don’t agree with all the privilege and handouts and taking advantage of the system. But right seems it is full of cheaters as well and with higher amounts.
The concern to me lies in how the term “toxic masculinity” has, over time, cast a shadow over men as a whole, often painting them in a negative light. It is important to acknowledge that there are individuals-both men and women-who exhibit harmful behaviors, there are also countless men and women who demonstrate kindness, strength, and empathy yet there is a focus on stating men as toxic and this is not healthy for our young male population. Political commentary on the left, has leaned heavily into the narrative of toxic masculinity. This focus has contributed to a divide, where some men feel unfairly judged or generalized as inherently harmful. When phrases like “toxic masculinity” become widely used in this context, there’s a risk of creating a stigma that can make men feel marginalized and alienated. It’s important to remember that toxic behavior isn’t exclusive to any one gender, and an overly narrow focus on men can inadvertently deepen misunderstandings and widen social divides therefore young men seem to feel demonized by this term and cast into a shameful title that would likely lead to resentment and send them seeking a group that accepts them. The narrative seems to have shifted from a pursuit of equality to a desire to dominate one gender over another in an attempt to right the wrongs of the past. Why should we punish those born in the 2000s for the injustices committed by those from decades ago? This misplaced anger toward the undeserving is often fueled by trendy politics and the pursuit of online attention, which is something that warrants closer examination.
We’ve spent 40 years feminizing school to the point that boys under 10 are so lost in it that we drug them to keep them quiet and out of the way. My daughters have done well in this system. It rewards calm and focused kids which is largely girls. But it wasn’t that hard in the past to realize boys need PE to burn off energy and come back more focused. But we cut that to a once a week thing in many elementary schools.
Unlike most people who address this issue, Scott Galloway makes a lot of sense. An identity politics backlash is not what we need. An open conversation about access to opportunities is what we need. Empathy is not a zero sum game, nor even a competition.

@@hames-si1er Higher rates of alcohol, drug use, gangs and prison for boys negate college as a viable option. Colleges are usually left-leaning, so right-leaning students increasingly don’t feel comfortable there. And more men than women lean right. Men join the military more than women. A man will sometimes have to provide for wife/kids before he can finish college. From pre-k all the way through to college male students on average receive harsher exclusionary discipline than females for the same behaviors. Both male and female teachers reported a greater degree of conflict and overall poorer relationships with male students. These are all pretty big factors when looking at men in education at all ages. Then there are a lot of factors outside of education which also affect men.
@@possiblycurryddorkOh no, it's still going on. Besides, even if it wasn't, men won't learn empathy unless they live on the bottom rung of society for awhile.
How can a party that prioritizes over illegals, gay rights and women's rights for the last forty years, think there would be no impact on ignoring American men's issues. This, also the corporations sending jobs overseas for cheap labor.
What utter BS. Republican politicians gleefully told Americans that companies didn't owe them anything. They did everything possible to make it easier for companies to ship jobs overseas. Republicans fought against lowering health care and medication costs. You name the thing that would help average Americans and you'll find Republican politicians working against their interests. Remember how people had been dying because they couldn't afford insulin? Republicans fought tooth and nail against Democrats' attempts to lower the cost. In the mean time, people died. Republicans didn't care. Democrats were finally able to lower the cost. Democrats also did away with pre-existing condition clauses that denied affordable health insurance to millions of Americans. Yeah, Democrats fought for the rights of LGBTQ and women because they have been historically discriminated against. The last time I checked, a lot of LGBTQ folks are not only men but also the parents, grandparents, and spouses of men. If you want policies that are specific to the needs of men, they why don't you get off your butt and lobby for them instead of playing victim?!
Scott is 100% correct on every single word. I have historically voted left but now I never will until they fix their issues. They don't deserve my vote.
Keep in mind, the internet is the cause of all this. The internet has given authoritarians around the world a tool to recruit young men. Look at Al Qaeda and ISIS recruiting Americans. The MAGA recruitment process is no different. Empty promises of freedom, empowerment, and leaving the mundane world of civilized culture behind where we can live like our ancestors. Yeah, which ancestors? The ones who stone their wives if they show skin in public?
One side encourages young men, wants to help them, make them proud of being a man, and defends them. The other hates and demonizes young men, vilifies them, calls them things like abuser, murderer, rapist, etc., wants to get rid of their masculinity and make them ashamed of being a man and attacks them. The choice is pretty obvious.

I was for Bernie. No way would I vote for a Democrat after I saw how they conspired to keep him from being the nominee then shuffled Kamala in as the nominee when no one voted for her at the top of the ticket. It all seems very undemocratic if you ask me, and we are told Trump is an existential threat to Democracy. There were definitely some strange things that happened in the last election with mail-in ballots and vote counts that made Trump think the last election was stolen. I personally don’t think it was, but I honestly think he does. He isn’t a threat democracy, but the zealots in the crowd on Jan 6th were. Trump said to the crowd, "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." Even if his speech was hot tempered, he clearly instructed the crowd to be peaceful when they went to the Capitol. Thats not an insurrection no matter how the news tries to spin it.

I'm a middle aged man and a martial arts coach and I've been listening to Professor Galloway a fair amount. I agree with him a lot and see the problems he points out. It sounds like in this piece he is talking a lot more about language and how we talk about young men. As he notes there are jobs out there in construction and other trades for young men with a high demand. I agree that we should talk about work like that with as much respect as others fields. I also think that while there is a crisis in masculinity too many see the solution as pushed by people like Aiden Ross, Andrew Tate and Logan Paul of masculinity as being very shallow and focused on "winning." When many young men fail to live up to those images or realized that "winning" isn't something that comes easy they get more embittered and isolated. So rather than building up emotionally and mentally strong men they actually get weaker. I like the message that Galloway mentioned of a model of manhood as duty and service. That being a man isn't about how many women you can sleep with, how many cars you can own or how much money you can make but is about what you can do for your family and your community.
What's is sad and a lot more profound is that we are talking about the break down of family and culture leading to hopelessness. This is what is being ignored by both parties.
The problem is that we've put too much emphasis on college degrees and too little emphasis on learning a trade. For instance, there's a severe shortage of construction workers needed to build new homes-- in an economy that desperately needs a lot more housing.
I don't think it's a controversial thing to say progress of women in the West came at the expense of men. To give a concrete example (in Australia), a male friend who worked at a bank was told frankly and honestly by his (female) boss that he should probably try to find a job somewhere else if he wanted a career because it was highly unlikely that they would promote any men. She told him straight because she knew it was unfair and despite knowing he was a valuable and useful employee.

Black men and boys can't be left behind when they've never been up front. Can you name a point in American history when Black folks ever had a moment of true equality? Both Black girls and boys are subject to the harshest penalties in schools. A six year old suffers a tantrum and is then handcuffed and taken off to jail. Girl child. Boy child. If people want better, they have to fight for it. Let's not pretend that there isn't an organized and determined effort to impeded and regress the success of Black Americans. Just this week, a grant program to help Black women entrepreneurs had to fold after months of facing an attack by a white supremacist organization that sued it. Then there are the attacks on DEI and the use of the term as a slur against Black men and women--from the young Black male mayor of Baltimore to VP Harris.
The problem with many young men have no role modeling at home. As a kid they were abandoned by their father as a result of divorce or separation. No father to tell them how to persevere when things get tough, show them how to work hard and be the man of the family. Meanwhile the single mother goes to work to fend for her kids.
And the fathers didn't have a role model either... This decline in the viability of male as sons, husbands, fathers, employers/ees, students and friends has been coming for a long time. They have been allowed to fail and still hit cushion bottom and now that bottom is falling out for everyone that they built society to profit off of now it's time to pivot and catch them again... 👀 No way. When men were on top they lacked empathy but now everyone is supposed to have empathy for them 🙄 That's the zero sum game.
This is very simple. Corporations are looking at pay deep reduction salaries. Women accept roles that pay 30% less than market value per industry. Men do not accept jobs below market. Women have very limited employment options therefore they must get a college degree in order to expand an already limited variety of jobs which women can do effectively. Men do not need college degrees because they can physically perform in any industry type effectively. Women are limited in industry variety.
As a mental health therapist, I experience this 'flat screen' youth in my practice. Too much stimulation from electronics, Covid, loss of basic jobs, no gratuities, and lack of co-parenting support seems to be a catalyst to this lack of luster that leads to a new type of depression. It takes a village. The increase in robberies commercially, privately, bicycle gangs, and the group fighting answers to this growing societal virus.

I’m 26 and work with lots of highschoolers. When gender identity became an important trend, everyone’s identity was celebrated except for those biological men who wanted to identify as masculine. They were looked down upon. Don’t get me wrong, plenty of them subscribed to a really toxic form of masculinity which made them posture and put down everyone else, but lots of people were called toxic just because they liked doing traditionally masculine things that weren’t hurting anyone else. That’s part of the problem as much as toxic masculinity is. I’ve experienced it first hand.
I think what he's talking about goes far beyond politics though. I've agreed with things he's said in the past, but I've been a democrat for years now and I'm still relatively young. I feel more like I've been abandoned by this country more than anything. But that has more to do with the decay of society, the rise of unsocial media and everyone living in their own insular worlds.
While I agree it's further downstream from politics, I don't think the social contagions that are pushed by progressives are helping at all. 12 of the last 16 years have been under democratic leadership and this is the timeframe where the major upticks in mental illness has been recorded. The clear anti-religious and identitarian rhetoric only worsens the collective nihilism, which then leads to being prone to authoritarianism.

As a 55 year old I can tell you it is a win for men's equality that we are even having this debate. 35 years ago if you objected to how badly men are treated in our society you'd be laughed at or shouted down. A lot of men are finally gaining the confidence to protest being treated as second class citizens because of their sex.
honestly, how are mean treated badly in our society? As a middle 30s male in America, I go hunting, fishing, and travel on my time off. I can start a business, get a loan, buy a car, and have access to every single thing there is out there. My children are in daycare, and I share a lot of the responsibilities with my wife who is a professional full time. I just don't see what the complaint is. Men are not treated as second class. Period. This is menanist talk and all it amounts to is you're upset you can't cat call women now without getting dirty looks. You're not second class. The moment you make that absurd claim you lose ALL credibility.
@@NickYankee Look, you're doing well and I'm doing well, but that is not the point. When you look at pretty much every metric of personal well-being men, ON AVERAGE, do vastly worse than women, on average. Look at life expectancy, suicide, workplace deaths, homelessness, all violent crime, fentanyl and other drug deaths, imprisonment, education, divorce, alimony, and child custody. In each of these cases men do far worse and the reason I say that men are treated as second class citizens is that IN NOT ONE OF THESE CASES IS IT CONSIDERED A GENDER EQUALITY ISSUE THAT MEN ARE DOING SO POORLY. For example, are there political leaders responsible for coming up with solutions to the 6 year life expectancy gap? No, why would there be? It's only men dying. If women lived 6 years less than men it would be considered a national emergency and there would be national and state-level task forces to resolve the problem. I'm just saying that men's lives should be treated as being as valuable as women's lives. Not more, not less. Just equal.
That's the real problem here imo... great work has been done to give women equal standing in today's economy... but men have not been taught how to live in that more equitable world... no one has considered the fact that women seem to have more job opportunities now because they are doing jobs that used to be reserved for men... but the reverse is not yet the case... most men are not willing to move into industries previously seen as for women... that's a huge part of this balancing act...

Most of them only accept applications from women. More specifically, a good portion only accepts from women of color. So, where does that leave straight men like me? The only grants and competitions that are open to everyone, where we're competing with the world for funding or opportunities. Meanwhile, women only have themselves to contend with, and, in some cases, only women of color having to contend with women of color, dropping down the competition for them dramatically. I get it. The industry wants to create more opportunities for women. But I don't remember a time when black male filmmakers had it so easy that they didn't need help. They're just forgotten.
This is an interesting conversation and the statistics on suicide are very troubling. But don't "rural voters " and "black voters " and "LGBTQ " voters include young men?
Right??? It was so annoying to hear Scott first say “young men” and then interchanged it with “young people.” You can’t have it both ways, talking out both sides of his mouth!!!
@jcc9549 I don't know if the lack of clarity here was deliberate obfuscation or just an unintentional lack of precision. One is left thinking: Do you mean solely white, straight men? (But, then again, they would certainly be included in "rural voters.") Also, I don't think you can have a conversation on this topic without acknowledging the poisonous role social media and the internet in general have played. I do think Mr. Galloway (who, one should remember, is no right-winger) does make a valid point when he says that Democratic economic policies are actually going to help young men and that the Democrats shouldn't pass up the opportunity to talk about that. As a Democrat myself (I've never voted for a Republican and I loathe Donald Trump ), I have often been frustrated to see Democrats struggle to effectively tout their very real accomplishments. My final point is that I do think there is something very wrong with our society. It's something one can just sense, even if it is hard to pinpoint exactly what has gone wrong. These statistics on male suicide are real, and they are extremely upsetting, and they must be discussed. Of course, Donald Trump is not the answer; in fact, what he represents is part of the problem. He has unquestionably (and self-servingly) fanned the flames of irrational fears in many young white men, and he has horribly, perhaps irrevocably, debased our disourse and become a destructive presence in the very fabric of our daily lives.
@@marcevan1141 ….Yeah, given that it’s Smerconish, it definitely was young WHITE men. Lol We can have that conversation about Social media but the fact is, it isn’t going away. All we can try to do is mitigate the damage. Parents of the next generation are at war with the realities of social media demands on their kids. My boss had to realize that her son was left out of conversations with his friends, because he didn’t have Snapchat. So they gave him a goal…get good grades and we’ll let you have Snapchat. He did. What it really comes down to when we talk about these men not building relationships, is how they were raised. Society can’t save some 25 year old who’s addicted to gaming. He’s gone. Lol He chose gaming over meaningful relationships with women. And if he gets a woman, she will take a backseat to the gaming. I know a couple of guys where this is the situation. To be fair, I can’t imaging growing up NOWADAYS, given the distinct issues social media presents for young people. Thankfully, I am able to modulate how much social media I consume. But not everyone has the willpower to do so.
@@marcevan1141 I would agree that Democrats suck at messaging. Obama and Biden did great things, but neither had an inkling about how to toot their horn. But, it's not only Trump that has effed up things. It's been a well-organized program, if not just a plain psychological operation (psyop) intent on radicalizing young men. The whole Red Pill philosophy is a staple of the far right with a large cast of messengers trying to entice young men into a twisted, toxic viewpoint.
You probably heard it wrong? Arund 70 % of young women vote Blue, while only around 55 % of men does. Its losing because one decade ago all younger people generally voted blue much more. And this is now changing, hence swinging the pendolinum on already close vote.
Galloway tries to walk a fine line here between his support of some DEI initiatives based on righting historical discrimination and distinguishing how unfair it is that young men are 'paying the price' for the wrongs of the past. The distinction is glaringly problematic. If you are anti racist / support DEI then you support racial discrimination in hiring, in opportunity, in all aspect of the economy and culture to somehow re-balance the ledger to some idyllic standard of equity which can never ever be achieved - regardless of impacts on any perceived historical 'oppressor'. Give aggrieved group power and they will never stop finding new avenues of 'oppression' and resentment to remain dominant. Even in areas where its clear that we have moved well past 'equity' the drive continues. To call out to the Left about young men is falling on deaf ears. Even though women now make up 60% + of college admissions, in most major cities in the US women make more than men, have lower rates of suicide and other metrics - the activist Left will continue pushing the narrative of oppression and men are taking note and moving to the right in large numbers. Some on the Left are careful to distinguish between 'masculinity' and "toxic masculinity" but not enough.

Just the other day, there was news of a high school planned to offer classes for game programming. Many boys signed up, but no girl did. The high school canceled the planned class BECAUSE they wanted to get girls into it, and since none of them showed interest, they scrapped it, regardless of the high interest from boys.
This is sad. I guess they wanted the clout from saying that they're getting girls into STEM.
@munequa81 Yes, that was EXACTLY it. The females in charge of the H.S. wanted to show off to the higher up females that they were having more girls in STEM. Boys interested in STEM? WHO CARES?
this actually has been the case for ages now. I remember from my school days special STEM courses for girls only where girls would do all the cool stuff while boys weren't allowed. Rates of girls in my year going into STEM for university were still low, but we had quite a few boys going for a STEM major... and failing.
You just unlocked a memory from high school. I signed up for a computer programming class. Probably had like 27 guys and 3 girls. They didn’t cancel it, but they always hammered how they wanted more girls in.
@LordGecko23 Now, they improved on it. If they do not have a QUOTA of girls, they CANCEL it. Progress, right?

Nor domestic abuse.
When our son was 4 his dad decided he wanted the freedom of not being married and enjoying his mistress who did not have a kid. The only time he wanted our kid around was on holidays so his family wouldn’t be on his back asking where our son was. Our son was diagnosed with autism before he turned 3. That made my ex even less interested in being a dad. Now he’s a lot older and has another son and is trying to do it right this time. But our 19 year old son feels totally abandoned by his dad in every way and is living the repercussions of his dad’s rejection. If I could do it all again, I’d make sure I married a guy like Walz…. Instead of the narcissistic Trump like guy I married. Walz seems like a great dad.

Man gets a home great he can build a family.
Woman gets a home great shes independant.
There is something to be said about that.
For most of human history, people were taught that they were halves of a whole. Feminism taught women that they could be independent and didn't need to equate their value as people with finding a partner. In theory, the same should apply to men, but no one has felt the need to tell them that.
Femincrapism is the biggest evil in history!
Men falling into the depths of despair…much to the happiness of feminism.
Not always into despair. Many men are by nature minimalists. Men of earlier generations were conditioned by society to care about wealth and prosperity, as a way to make them productive contributors to society. Once you don't care about your society, that offers a tremendous amount of personal freedom.

Young men are struggling, where are their fathers?

I don’t agree with all the privilege and handouts and taking advantage of the system. But right seems it is full of cheaters as well and with higher amounts.
The concern to me lies in how the term “toxic masculinity” has, over time, cast a shadow over men as a whole, often painting them in a negative light. It is important to acknowledge that there are individuals-both men and women-who exhibit harmful behaviors, there are also countless men and women who demonstrate kindness, strength, and empathy yet there is a focus on stating men as toxic and this is not healthy for our young male population.
Political commentary on the left, has leaned heavily into the narrative of toxic masculinity. This focus has contributed to a divide, where some men feel unfairly judged or generalized as inherently harmful. When phrases like “toxic masculinity” become widely used in this context, there’s a risk of creating a stigma that can make men feel marginalized and alienated. It’s important to remember that toxic behavior isn’t exclusive to any one gender, and an overly narrow focus on men can inadvertently deepen misunderstandings and widen social divides therefore young men seem to feel demonized by this term and cast into a shameful title that would likely lead to resentment and send them seeking a group that accepts them.
The narrative seems to have shifted from a pursuit of equality to a desire to dominate one gender over another in an attempt to right the wrongs of the past. Why should we punish those born in the 2000s for the injustices committed by those from decades ago? This misplaced anger toward the undeserving is often fueled by trendy politics and the pursuit of online attention, which is something that warrants closer examination.

What utter BS. Republican politicians gleefully told Americans that companies didn't owe them anything. They did everything possible to make it easier for companies to ship jobs overseas. Republicans fought against lowering health care and medication costs. You name the thing that would help average Americans and you'll find Republican politicians working against their interests.
Remember how people had been dying because they couldn't afford insulin? Republicans fought tooth and nail against Democrats' attempts to lower the cost. In the mean time, people died. Republicans didn't care. Democrats were finally able to lower the cost. Democrats also did away with pre-existing condition clauses that denied affordable health insurance to millions of Americans.
Yeah, Democrats fought for the rights of LGBTQ and women because they have been historically discriminated against. The last time I checked, a lot of LGBTQ folks are not only men but also the parents, grandparents, and spouses of men.

Couldn't have said it better myself. People need to wake up and not support either one.
Sure but Trump is the lesser of the two evils for us men
@@Malickeaian In what way? States that ban abortion might seem like a "only impacts women" thing, but that's only because you're a sterile incel.
For those of us who have healthy relationships, and want to raise families in a safe and just world, the convicted felon who shoved abortion bans down the throats of millions of Americans who now have to travel out of state to seek medical care at some of the most critical points for a family... it's absolutely not an option.
Tim Walz is WAY more of a man than Donald Trump or Vance.
Donald Trump is a weak, confused, cowardly man's idea of what a man should be.
@@Malickeaianwhat’s he gonna do for you? Billionaire tax cuts?
I'm 29 and was a progressive for Bernie in 2016 and 2020. The Democratic Party is so against us that I give them the finger and will never go back. 🖕
How so?
So you would sooner have someone like Trump as your leader? You simply
have no common sense.
Infrastructure bill passed. Take an evening class in some manly type of skill, join a union that represents that type of manly skill, get a job, get a girlfriend who isn't too fat for you. Be happy, dude. You can do it. Vote Blue. Trump never got it done for you, did he???
I was for Bernie. No way would I vote for a Democrat after I saw how they conspired to keep him from being the nominee then shuffled Kamala in as the nominee when no one voted for her at the top of the ticket. It all seems very undemocratic if you ask me, and we are told Trump is an existential threat to Democracy. There were definitely some strange things that happened in the last election with mail-in ballots and vote counts that made Trump think the last election was stolen. I personally don’t think it was, but I honestly think he does. He isn’t a threat democracy, but the zealots in the crowd on Jan 6th were. Trump said to the crowd, "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." Even if his speech was hot tempered, he clearly instructed the crowd to be peaceful when they went to the Capitol. Thats not an insurrection no matter how the news tries to spin it.
same bt in EU, been voting Pirates for 8 years. Decided to never vote again because of how left reats men and their issues.
The employment landscape is monopolized by women in the areas of HR, Non-profit, Human and entitlement services. Men have no chance because HR is biased when it comes to hiring men in these service areas.

Scott Galloway: "WE TRIED TO TELL Y'ALL"
Unfortunately, unless Trump's term goes to absolute shit (which it very well could) the Democrats will learn nothing in 2028 and 2032.
Thank God we won. Thank God WE WON!!!
I'm a middle aged man and a martial arts coach and I've been listening to Professor Galloway a fair amount. I agree with him a lot and see the problems he points out. It sounds like in this piece he is talking a lot more about language and how we talk about young men. As he notes there are jobs out there in construction and other trades for young men with a high demand. I agree that we should talk about work like that with as much respect as others fields. I also think that while there is a crisis in masculinity too many see the solution as pushed by people like Aiden Ross, Andrew Tate and Logan Paul of masculinity as being very shallow and focused on "winning." When many young men fail to live up to those images or realized that "winning" isn't something that comes easy they get more embittered and isolated. So rather than building up emotionally and mentally strong men they actually get weaker. I like the message that Galloway mentioned of a model of manhood as duty and service. That being a man isn't about how many women you can sleep with, how many cars you can own or how much money you can make but is about what you can do for your family and your community.
Yeah. The Red Pill gang are scoundrels, if not criminals.
What's is sad and a lot more profound is that we are talking about the break down of family and culture leading to hopelessness.
This is what is being ignored by both parties.
The fact that the Dems would list only who they support is disgusting.
Maybe modern feminism might be to blame
100%
women have no compassion for men and will happily bully and beat them down while complaining about how life is so hard for them
1000% and it’s the ONLY culprit
Never believe anyone who says feminism is just about equality.
The problem is that we've put too much emphasis on college degrees and too little emphasis on learning a trade. For instance, there's a severe shortage of construction workers needed to build new homes-- in an economy that desperately needs a lot more housing.
"there's a severe shortage of construction workers needed to build new homes"
Due to poor pay and the high chance of death compared to other jobs.
I don't think it's a controversial thing to say progress of women in the West came at the expense of men. To give a concrete example (in Australia), a male friend who worked at a bank was told frankly and honestly by his (female) boss that he should probably try to find a job somewhere else if he wanted a career because it was highly unlikely that they would promote any men. She told him straight because she knew it was unfair and despite knowing he was a valuable and useful employee.
I’m 45. Just gave up work, relationships, trying to purchase a home, etc. it’s just not worth it any longer.
His final response was brilleeeeeant. As a gay male I am with all my straight bros and the disgusting discrimination they are facing.
All i know is i make 32 dollars an hour and cannot afford to buy a new car or a house
Duh. When you make heroes out of men dressing up as women while real men get vilified for being actual men.
Can you explain how real men are being vilified please?
@@dsiepiela6449The rates in men for uicide are 4x higher than women and nobody takes it seriously. They only wanna talk about the bad guys who are the minority
@dsiepiela6449 There are several speeches by dems calling for end to patriarchy. The women in today's America despise blue collar working men. The people who built this country are abandoned by the parties dems and gop. The dems though want to say hire or elect based on gender or skin color. They select people based on antiwhitism and antimale.
Totally confused here... Who are the "real" men? The one's being made heroes or being vilified. You guys can be quite confusing sometimes with your mental gymnastics.
@@josephsimmons9241 I consider the men who struggle with severe depression (icide rates are 4x higher than women) I consider them heros. Nobody is addressing this particular issue. Nobody cares but a few
When both parties agree that working people don't matter and that the objective of government is to help the rich get richer, all that's left is identity politics.
This reporting is on point. Men have been left behind. I am a black male democrat!!!
Black men and boys can't be left behind when they've never been up front. Can you name a point in American history when Black folks ever had a moment of true equality? Both Black girls and boys are subject to the harshest penalties in schools. A six year old suffers a tantrum and is then handcuffed and taken off to jail. Girl child. Boy child.
If people want better, they have to fight for it. Let's not pretend that there isn't an organized and determined effort to impeded and regress the success of Black Americans. Just this week, a grant program to help Black women entrepreneurs had to fold after months of facing an attack by a white supremacist organization that sued it. Then there are the attacks on DEI and the use of the term as a slur against Black men and women--from the young Black male mayor of Baltimore to VP Harris.
The problem with many young men have no role modeling at home. As a kid they were abandoned by their father as a result of divorce or separation. No father to tell them how to persevere when things get tough, show them how to work hard and be the man of the family. Meanwhile the single mother goes to work to fend for her kids.
Father is driven away by angry unbearable feminist Mother's😂😂😂
And the fathers didn't have a role model either... This decline in the viability of male as sons, husbands, fathers, employers/ees, students and friends has been coming for a long time. They have been allowed to fail and still hit cushion bottom and now that bottom is falling out for everyone that they built society to profit off of now it's time to pivot and catch them again... 👀 No way. When men were on top they lacked empathy but now everyone is supposed to have empathy for them 🙄 That's the zero sum game.
@@MsSugarDyme So you believe children should pay the price for the sins of their fathers?
Fuck being a man in this country it’s not fucking worth it. Let’s make the Starbucks customers fight for the economy and find someone to blame.
This is very simple. Corporations are looking at pay deep reduction salaries. Women accept roles that pay 30% less than market value per industry. Men do not accept jobs below market. Women have very limited employment options therefore they must get a college degree in order to expand an already limited variety of jobs which women can do effectively. Men do not need college degrees because they can physically perform in any industry type effectively. Women are limited in industry variety.
As a mental health therapist, I experience this 'flat screen' youth in my practice. Too much stimulation from electronics, Covid, loss of basic jobs, no gratuities, and lack of co-parenting support seems to be a catalyst to this lack of luster that leads to a new type of depression. It takes a village. The increase in robberies commercially, privately, bicycle gangs, and the group fighting answers to this growing societal virus.

As a millennial, the men of Gen Z have earned a ton of my respect today (posting this the day after the 2024 Election).
When was this posted if you dont mind me asking?
I’m 26 and work with lots of highschoolers. When gender identity became an important trend, everyone’s identity was celebrated except for those biological men who wanted to identify as masculine. They were looked down upon. Don’t get me wrong, plenty of them subscribed to a really toxic form of masculinity which made them posture and put down everyone else, but lots of people were called toxic just because they liked doing traditionally masculine things that weren’t hurting anyone else. That’s part of the problem as much as toxic masculinity is. I’ve experienced it first hand.
I think what he's talking about goes far beyond politics though. I've agreed with things he's said in the past, but I've been a democrat for years now and I'm still relatively young. I feel more like I've been abandoned by this country more than anything. But that has more to do with the decay of society, the rise of unsocial media and everyone living in their own insular worlds.
He is talking about politics but at a muncher larger and serious level than the partisan turf grabbing game…
That's what I was thinking too
While I agree it's further downstream from politics, I don't think the social contagions that are pushed by progressives are helping at all. 12 of the last 16 years have been under democratic leadership and this is the timeframe where the major upticks in mental illness has been recorded. The clear anti-religious and identitarian rhetoric only worsens the collective nihilism, which then leads to being prone to authoritarianism.
This guy was ahead of the curve by years.
Galloway is a brilliant critical thinker who presents impressive analyzes of the situation of younger generations. We need more Galloways with empathy, hearts and minds, and real scientific skills!
Society seems to favor women more than it does men. It should be even.

@@fremontpathfinder8463 how they can be hired due to solely their looks and not qualifications over a man who is more qualified, how if a woman is found crying in the streets many will come to her aid but if it was a man most would ignore him or look at him like he is a mental patient, how dating works in their favor since they do not need to pursue, etc. Note this isn't me complaining just making an explanation of what he meant and the way things are currently in society.
Did you forget who was in charge for all of these centuries. We, as men, have created the system we are now imprisoned by in a sense. And if women are being hired due to their looks as you've said, a man would be hiring them based on that. Which just reinforces how men created this flawed system to our very own detriment. The women have just began to have a say in how societies operate, therefore, who can we blame other than ourselves. Most of human history, they've been oppressed by the systems and institutions we as men are responsible for creating.😊
@@seangallagher4331 Oh please. Women in 25 states cannot get proper care for miscarriages due to anti abortion laws. Women have to worry about rape and for years were discriminated against in jobs. Stop assuming women are less qualified

He's right, its about people not groups. Approach creates more divisive.
As a 55 year old I can tell you it is a win for men's equality that we are even having this debate. 35 years ago if you objected to how badly men are treated in our society you'd be laughed at or shouted down. A lot of men are finally gaining the confidence to protest being treated as second class citizens because of their sex.
honestly, how are mean treated badly in our society?
As a middle 30s male in America, I go hunting, fishing, and travel on my time off. I can start a business, get a loan, buy a car, and have access to every single thing there is out there. My children are in daycare, and I share a lot of the responsibilities with my wife who is a professional full time.
I just don't see what the complaint is. Men are not treated as second class. Period. This is menanist talk and all it amounts to is you're upset you can't cat call women now without getting dirty looks. You're not second class. The moment you make that absurd claim you lose ALL credibility.
@@NickYankee Look, you're doing well and I'm doing well, but that is not the point. When you look at pretty much every metric of personal well-being men, ON AVERAGE, do vastly worse than women, on average. Look at life expectancy, suicide, workplace deaths, homelessness, all violent crime, fentanyl and other drug deaths, imprisonment, education, divorce, alimony, and child custody. In each of these cases men do far worse and the reason I say that men are treated as second class citizens is that IN NOT ONE OF THESE CASES IS IT CONSIDERED A GENDER EQUALITY ISSUE THAT MEN ARE DOING SO POORLY. For example, are there political leaders responsible for coming up with solutions to the 6 year life expectancy gap? No, why would there be? It's only men dying. If women lived 6 years less than men it would be considered a national emergency and there would be national and state-level task forces to resolve the problem. I'm just saying that men's lives should be treated as being as valuable as women's lives. Not more, not less. Just equal.
@@NickYankee Not all men have it as easy as you.
@@Kootenay613They don't have to worry about DV, SA, or pregnancy. Cry me a river.
That's completely false. A man can certainly deal with DV and abuse.
Galloway is 100% correct here.
I’m annoyed that they think boys are disruptive and girls are “well behaved.” I was always in trouble in school.
That's the real problem here imo... great work has been done to give women equal standing in today's economy... but men have not been taught how to live in that more equitable world... no one has considered the fact that women seem to have more job opportunities now because they are doing jobs that used to be reserved for men... but the reverse is not yet the case... most men are not willing to move into industries previously seen as for women... that's a huge part of this balancing act...
Right: if u r a girl w/adhd, school ain’t so easy But according to this school is all types of easy for girls
"On average" is a key caveat here.
Yeah. There is also the myth that women are kinder, sweeter, etc instead of being just as flawed as men.
Turns out villifying half the population doesn't make them want to vote for you 😂
This is true everywhere you look. I first noticed it when applying for grants for movie projects a few years ago. You can find a list of a hundred grants. Most of them only accept applications from women. More specifically, a good portion only accepts from women of color. So, where does that leave straight men like me? The only grants and competitions that are open to everyone, where we're competing with the world for funding or opportunities. Meanwhile, women only have themselves to contend with, and, in some cases, only women of color having to contend with women of color, dropping down the competition for them dramatically.
I get it. The industry wants to create more opportunities for women. But I don't remember a time when black male filmmakers had it so easy that they didn't need help. They're just forgotten.
Amazing that most people said "No" to the poll question. sad.

Wow …probably the most mature intellegent well said take of the plight of young men ive seen yet
This is an interesting conversation and the statistics on suicide are very troubling. But don't "rural voters " and "black voters " and "LGBTQ " voters include young men?
Right???
It was so annoying to hear Scott first say “young men” and then interchanged it with “young people.”
You can’t have it both ways, talking out both sides of his mouth!!!
@jcc9549 I don't know if the lack of clarity here was deliberate obfuscation or just an unintentional lack of precision. One is left thinking: Do you mean solely white, straight men? (But, then again, they would certainly be included in "rural voters.") Also, I don't think you can have a conversation on this topic without acknowledging the poisonous role social media and the internet in general have played. I do think Mr. Galloway (who, one should remember, is no right-winger) does make a valid point when he says that Democratic economic policies are actually going to help young men and that the Democrats shouldn't pass up the opportunity to talk about that. As a Democrat myself (I've never voted for a Republican and I loathe Donald Trump ), I have often been frustrated to see Democrats struggle to effectively tout their very real accomplishments. My final point is that I do think there is something very wrong with our society. It's something one can just sense, even if it is hard to pinpoint exactly what has gone wrong. These statistics on male suicide are real, and they are extremely upsetting, and they must be discussed. Of course, Donald Trump is not the answer; in fact, what he represents is part of the problem. He has unquestionably (and self-servingly) fanned the flames of irrational fears in many young white men, and he has horribly, perhaps irrevocably, debased our disourse and become a destructive presence in the very fabric of our daily lives.
@@marcevan1141 ….Yeah, given that it’s Smerconish, it definitely was young WHITE men. Lol
We can have that conversation about Social media but the fact is, it isn’t going away. All we can try to do is mitigate the damage.
Parents of the next generation are at war with the realities of social media demands on their kids.
My boss had to realize that her son was left out of conversations with his friends, because he didn’t have Snapchat.
So they gave him a goal…get good grades and we’ll let you have Snapchat. He did.
What it really comes down to when we talk about these men not building relationships, is how they were raised.
Society can’t save some 25 year old who’s addicted to gaming. He’s gone. Lol He chose gaming over meaningful relationships with women.
And if he gets a woman, she will take a backseat to the gaming. I know a couple of guys where this is the situation.
To be fair, I can’t imaging growing up NOWADAYS, given the distinct issues social media presents for young people.
Thankfully, I am able to modulate how much social media I consume. But not everyone has the willpower to do so.
Shh! They don't count.
@@marcevan1141 I would agree that Democrats suck at messaging. Obama and Biden did great things, but neither had an inkling about how to toot their horn.
But, it's not only Trump that has effed up things. It's been a well-organized program, if not just a plain psychological operation (psyop) intent on radicalizing young men. The whole Red Pill philosophy is a staple of the far right with a large cast of messengers trying to entice young men into a twisted, toxic viewpoint.
How is getting 30% of young men winning young men.
You probably heard it wrong? Arund 70 % of young women vote Blue, while only around 55 % of men does. Its losing because one decade ago all younger people generally voted blue much more. And this is now changing, hence swinging the pendolinum on already close vote.
Galloway tries to walk a fine line here between his support of some DEI initiatives based on righting historical discrimination and distinguishing how unfair it is that young men are 'paying the price' for the wrongs of the past. The distinction is glaringly problematic. If you are anti racist / support DEI then you support racial discrimination in hiring, in opportunity, in all aspect of the economy and culture to somehow re-balance the ledger to some idyllic standard of equity which can never ever be achieved - regardless of impacts on any perceived historical 'oppressor'. Give aggrieved group power and they will never stop finding new avenues of 'oppression' and resentment to remain dominant. Even in areas where its clear that we have moved well past 'equity' the drive continues. To call out to the Left about young men is falling on deaf ears. Even though women now make up 60% + of college admissions, in most major cities in the US women make more than men, have lower rates of suicide and other metrics - the activist Left will continue pushing the narrative of oppression and men are taking note and moving to the right in large numbers. Some on the Left are careful to distinguish between 'masculinity' and "toxic masculinity" but not enough.
