Excellent post! "Of Boys and Men" sounds like a great book, but I'll make the excuse to not read it since you provided a thorough summary (and because I'm lazy). I'm not a Jordan Peterson fan (the reasons are irrelevant for this post), but I've listed to podcasts with Scott Galloway and Nicholas Eberstadt, both talk about the importance of men in society. With so many men checked out, it is not only bad for productivity, in some cases these men can become a danger to society.
Good post! I was in a Starbucks last month & a homeless person was unhinged; screaming verbally abusing the two very young (19, 20) female baristas. I asked him to calm down. He then threw a bunch of cardboard boxes at the poor young women; who were tremoring in fear. This was a grown man after all. Since he was becoming violent, I took him out of the store. When I walked back; no less than 6 men sitting their, doing nothing about it. Glued to their laptops. Some with their partners...how emasculating. A society needs men. And we are lacking there.

" A society needs men." That is a good-enough starting point!
