[quote=Anonymous]I am a woman who is also frustrated with male whining, but i think this article is instructive: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/10/26/upshot/census-relative-income.html

Basically, blue collar white men have not just stagnated while other groups have caught up, but also fallen behind other groups. Even if men can’t point to the statistics, I think they feel that a lot of opportunities their parents’ generation had (eg supporting a middle class family with a factor job) are no longer available to them.

Likewise, the loneliness epidemic / growing social epidemic has affected men more.

Women are already bearing the brunt of the mental load even those in relatively equal marriages, so I don’t think this is women’s problem to solve. But it is a social problem, and I do think it is important to recognize in order to understand the growing appeal of right wing demagogues. Same happened (per Robert Putnam also in recent nyt article) in Germany when hitler came along.

I do think [/quote]
