Scott Galloway how to save teenage boys.

[Anonymous]

What's *actually* funny is at the end of the day, all men know to their bones, that all women are weak and dumber than them.

If it werent true they would rule the world. But they can't, so they don't.

I think it is more “white boys should be punished for the actions of their ancestors.” Don’t teach that to your kids. Teach then everyone is equal in the eyes of God and the law, and they are responsible for their actions and lives from there.

My nephew was a Freshman in George Mason in 202. Weird times, of course, but he had a teacher (of color) request that all white boys in class stand up and apologize 'for the past'

Literally nothing happened to the professor.

Now, imagine if another professor asked all the black boys to stand up and apologize for all the crime.

How would that play out?

I'll take "things that never happened" for $400.

DP. These things did happen and it is why Trump is President.

I've got boys and it's a double-edged sword. There is a lot of hate and sexism toward boys in schools (and the same for girls too). But, we're not asking a lot of boys right now, and that goes for MAGA. Why isn't Trump telling boys to learn math, to seek equality, to "win" without cheating? To be partners with women, not enemies upholding the patriarchy? MAGA is telling boys to not go to college and that the "patriarchy is nature" and Nick Fuentes is mad that he can't get a date?!?!

I've even heard Dem men on DCUM say they vote Democratic, but don't see themselves in the Democrat party, which is mystifying because we had a white male president and the majority of Dem governors are white men. I also see women forcing "girl power," which doesn't leave a lot of room for boys (who definitely notice this in elementary school) who will have to someday be equal partners.

Basically no group is thriving. We have to think about what we want for the future.

I keep reading all this stuff people post, but I am not seeing it in real life. None of the boys I know are like this at all.

2020 was a moment in time. I don't think any professor would do that today. But that dynamic definitely made an impression on every white boy under 20. And they generally revolted from progressives as a result.

It didn't happen in 2020 either.

I have two boys. They heard and experienced that kind of thing all the time around 2020. That was a very toxic time and it formed a lot of opinions.

Because I think overly concerned mothers are a HUGE part of why boys/young men are struggling in the first place.

I've known SO many men whose mothers coddle them and protect them from the consequences of their actions, even in adulthood. One 40 year old man I knew had his mother pay for everything - his rent, food, etc - because he was too "depressed" to work! I've seen moms pay for bail and attorneys when their adult sons got DUIs, side with their sons when they beat their own wives and children.....my former MIL used to tell my xH that I was a bad wife because I didn't "take care of him" by cooking and cleaning for him every night (even though I worked full time and paid 70% of our bills!).

Too many moms don't want their sons to be MEN, they want them to be babies. And too many fathers don't stand up and teach their sons to be men, they don't want to be bothered.

lol. You think it’s new and clever to blame moms? Oldest trick in the book.

I agree with this, but I also disagree with this. My boys are doing fine, as are their friends. But their cohort is small. At school, girls are in charge of everything. Not some things, not the majority, but everything.

Completely inappropriate for a parent to say that to their child. WTF is going on in that household?

You clearly don’t listen to any of Scott’s podcasts. Irreverent is an understatement

+1

Haha

Are these elected positions? In my experience girls are more willing to participate in extracurriculars that don’t revolve around sports.

I worked in a restaurant where a mother brought her son, a 20-something culinary school graduate, in on his first day, walked into the kitchen uninvited with him, introducing him to everyone and explaining that he was a little shy, but very sweet. She also called him in sick on his 2nd day. There was no 3rd day.

DP I don’t think it is wrong to look at how people parent and if certain beliefs about parenting don’t work anymore. Not just the moms but also the dads. These kids don’t just show up out of thin air.

This is on all of us parents then. I’m teaching mine and they are just fine.

I'm not tainting mine with the ideas that all masculinity is toxic. They can be who they are and I'm not going to hamstring them or emasculate them so they can't compete.

Not all masculinity is toxic. That's why the word toxic is there. The problem is the Neanderthals who think the only way to show masculinity is pounding their chests and being a dbag.

The line has been blurred where masculinity crosses the line into toxic, so that normal behavior is called toxic. It starts early on in elementary school. Mustn't let the boys get too rowdy on the playground!

I get it but getting too “rowdy” is a liability for the school if someone gets hurt

Wealthy boys are still getting so much help that they are not facing the consequences of a level playing field.
