Some people entering this space acknowledge that yes, young men feel oppressed today, but there aren’t true systemic reasons as to why, we just need to address them feeling that way.
No. There 𝘢𝘳𝘦 systemic issues, and their feelings 𝘢𝘳𝘦 valid. We need to look at all the…
A while back a journalist at a famous magazine told me they’d just run a story from a woman who got divorced, started an OnlyFans, and was happy with her decision. I asked if they’d run the reverse—a woman who quit OnlyFans, got married, and was happy. He said absolutely not.
Poorer people are more often bored.
For decades, researchers, governments, and policymakers have sought to understand how financial scarcity affects people’s well-being and quality of life. In this paper, we show that past studies have overlooked a fundamental psychological…
People see themselves differently than others see them.
-Other people see us as more extraverted and conscientious than we see ourselves.
-Other people see us as less neurotic than we see ourselves.
-Other people see us as less open than we see ourselves.

True. Kevin Wright gave an interesting talk at one of the Male Psychology conferfences on how men find it therapeutic to write about their feelings, especially when the feelings are related to traumatic events pjp.psychreg.org/wp-content/upl…

An analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data found that the unemployment rate among men ages 23 to 30 with a bachelor's degree has reached 6%. By comparison, the unemployment rate among women with a bachelor's degree in that same age range is 3.5%.
College-educated, upper-middle-class young people — especially recent graduates who grew up in comfortable homes with affluent boomer parents — are now staring at an uncertain future. Many worry their job prospects could be wiped out by AI. They’ve already lived through COVID,…
Maybe Cognitive dissonance isn't true.
Since 1957 and Leon Festinger's work on cognitive dissonance, the term has entered our cultural lexicon: A rare and influential accolade. But does it rest on firm foundations?
In a nutshell, cognitive dissonance is the idea that if we…
Men's health, which should be a top priority for nations around the world, is finally receiving increased attention from the WHO. Not as much as women's health or anything else, but it’s happening. Here's their very important, short read. Progress!

When it comes to sexlessness among young adults, the biggest change comes post-2010.
Prior to 2010, the share of young adults, ages 18-29, who reported not having sex held steady around 15%.
But from 2010 to 2024, the share doubled, from 12% to 24% in the GSS.
Unfortunately creativity is almost impossible to measure, and equally hard to ‘teach’ directly, because it isn’t a skill separate to the domain specific content and skills it’s applied to. There is no transferable skill of being creative. A plumber can be creative in their role…

In 2022-23, boys accounted for 87% of homicide victims aged 16 to 24 in the UK, and nine out of ten victims of teenage violence were male.
But we usually only hear about ending violence against girls and women. Do these victims somehow matter less because they are boys?
"There are problematic MRAs too!"
And yes there are. I agree. There's no denying there are assholes on "both sides".
The difference is, assholes like @RealPaulElam tweeting utter bullshit, is not equivalent to assholes like Dr Mary Koss, or Ellen Pence, in the ears of…
Sociology has been slow to adopt emerging standards of scientific rigor, in large part because of its strong political skew and embrace of activism over accuracy.

I gave @nytimes my opinion: The idea that the N.I.H. and C.D.C. are bulwarks of patriarchal medicine and health care is absolutely nonsensical. When men live 6 years fewer than women, something isn’t right.

Great talk with Emma Dunwoody on why boys and men are falling behind in education. 74 men earn college degrees for every 100 women. When half our population struggles with purpose, we all lose. We can lift up women AND support struggling men. Both/and, not either/or. Listen:…
