IDK if I believe any of your assessment of the situation. Most doctors, financiers, techies, engineers, scientists etc are men. Its in the middle where men are getting chewed up. Healthcare's explosion is primarily female and thats prob the only legit growth sector right now. Not good combined with the decline in manufacturing.

When I left working Ford Motor Company last decade. I looked at this. I have an MBA in healthcare management. The BEST decision I've ever made in my life.

Men aren't getting left behind so much as modernity leaves brute masculinity in the dust, and penalises men for being socialised to be "hypermasculine."
Boys are socialised to play more, and to be more physical when they are younger, ergo, they begin to act out more, and are more likely to be diagnosed with behavioral disorders. They are more likely to be drug dealers because the majority of drug dealers are men. They are more likely to drop out because "getting out and working" is pushed at a greater number toward men, as are more physical jobs, which are majority men.
What needs to be done is a retooling of what we consider boys should be able to do (everything) and to maintain than girls can do (everything) as well.
Pushing more men toward education and social duties, and pushing more women toward education, and social duties is key.


This is what is hurting men, and really it's hurting global society.

it's the blind faith in theory of sociology. That, somehow, all human behavior is the product of socialization, therefore, all human behavior can be someone fixed with regulations, education, social justice and government policy.

Chimpanzee gender roles are very defined--men do the fighting (with rival tribes) and women do the care taking. Are they socialized to do this?

All the living Stone Age tribes have similar defined gender roles (as the chimpanzees). So did the socialization process start 1 million years ago? 6 million years ago? Or 100 yeas ago?

maybe boys have a set of evolutionary programs instructions to behave a certain way? I think forcing boys to do things that don't come natural them is torturous.

treating boys and girls as if they are exactly same is utopian and dangerous.

Most doctors are men, but most nurses are women :yeshrug:
If we reiterate that men can be both and that women can be both, or at least eliminate the idea of "nurse" being a gendered career you'd find more men benefit from the healthcare explosion.
Manufacturing jobs were gendered toward men, and their decline will primarily affect men. That gendering was done on purpose.

Yup. They shyt on masculinity and take away what men are naturally good at. They shyt on heterosexuality, they shyt on innovating and risk taking, and they want people to be controlled mentally. Easier to do that for women.
