Galloway has talked about how men marry equal or down while women marry equal or up. That's going to be a problem when women outnumber men 2 to 1 at universities and are therefore positioned for higher pay and prestige. That's a bigger problem in my mind than porn, and we've got a political party attacking education.

100% agree.  Our young men going all-in on the "I'll just be an unambitious loser" path has 10,000 different consequences.  The consequence of "wait, quality chicks don't want to date losers?"  is just one of them.

And don't give me the "so they don't go to university -- college is a rip-off, learn a trade!" bullshit.  I don't disagree with the premise....but that's not what's happening.  Men aren't opting out of college so they can become electricians.  They are opting out of college to play videogames in their basement and take stupid flyers on "crypto-trading's gonna make me rich!" and any number of other stupid bullshit.

Do you remember reading criticism of the "models of success" that were front-and-center for black males decades ago?  "NBA star" or "drug dealer?"  Sure, shitty stereotyping often stated with shittastic racist intent.  But not without a kernel of truth: it's bad news if a whole cadre of men has a vision of success that either isn't available to them (there aren't that many NBA slots) or is socially counterproductive (dealing drugs is bad, mmmkay?)  Well, now that same model is becoming the rule for society at large, regardless of race, class, etc.  White, black, hispanic, what have you....young men are opting out of reasonably available paths to a good life, and opting for a binary path of "become a crypto billionaire or bust" or some shit like that.  And...."or bust" is winning the lion's share of their fates.

Don't think young women are doing well either.  Especially single, progressive women.  High rates of mental illness and unhappiness.  High rates of SSRIs. Something about the politics they subscribe to is making them miserable.

Yes, they should probably look into more traditional wife roles…

Well the only politics I see is angry white men.  So maybe subscribing to angry white men would INDEED make you very fucking miserable.

Well, when their pool of potentially eligible mates has decided to 1) retreat to the basement to play video games and jerk off to unrealistic porn for 12 hours a day, 2) are no longer getting out there and building a viable future, and 3) when they DO engage with women, they treat them like objects and/or get pissed off if they don't immediately fall at their feet.....yeah, that could be kinda sorta depressing.  Add in the fact that they recently lost the right to control their own bodies, and gosh, it's a shocker why they aren't skipping down the street for joy.

Looking out the window and seeing reality is depressing for women these days.  Incels and losers as far as the eye can see, except for the domineering assholes who tell them exactly how it's going to be and are working to remove their agency and autonomy at every turn. Can't IMAGINE why someone would find that depressing.

There are plenty of attractive single mothers out there who aren't looking for love, they are looking for help. They will throw that pussy down at the drop of a hat. There are plenty of young guys that will bang them silly, but they ain't gonna sign up to be a step parent, they just want to fuck. I guess you could say that both parties have ulterior motives. That is kinda what goes on around here. All the young men, I know, I tell them to be sure and wear a condom, no matter if she says she is on birth control. only take it off in the bathroom, by yourself, and throw it in the toilet and flush it three times. Cause "baby trappin' " is a thing around here as well.

Conservative young women for some reason report they are a lot happier and more content.  And have significantly lower rates of mental health issues and SSRI use.

A nice blend of being blissfully unaware and being members of the dominant class inflicting the pain instead of receiving it will do that.  They are winning -- they are on top, they are inflicting their vision on everyone else.  Standing on top of the pile and stepping on people feels GOOD.

I mean, non-jewish Germans were much happier than jewish Germans in 1939, as just one little example.  White Americans were much happier than black Americans for most of last century, as yet another.

White females are members of the same exact class.  Conservative ones report being much happier and report much less mental health issues than liberals.  And this has been true for decades.

Nonwhites, not a part of your oppressor class, report less mental health issues than whites.

I believe the anti-alcohol movement is second only to remote work in the damage it’s doing to young people.

This goes hand in hand with another movement. The ubiquitous nature of high grade marijuana is a major problem. Smoking weed is a motivation killer for most people.
 

I’ve changed a lot on this over the last few years. Three things that I get the argument for broadly legalizing, but think should be restricted are weed, porn, sports gambling. Terrible things for all young people, especially men, to have unlimited access to. 
 

Also, Ssris are horribly over prescribed. Horribly. It’s terrible for society.

Gambling is the only thing on that list that young men have historically had SOME trouble accessing. Legal or not, weed and pron are always going to be present. And frankly, I don’t want to live in a world where that isn’t the case.

Not ubiquitous. Like can’t walk down the street without smelling it. Or for porn, can access 24-7.  Just not true.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. The young progressive women on the healthcare chart replying affirmative to the question is IMO because any halfway intelligent woman with any type of health condition mental OR physical has a ten times great chance of actually RECEIVING care is if she's progressive. In addition, in some areas, sitting in the exam room and listening to a condescending  evangelical doctor about certain issues may lead to an on-the-spot diagnosis of mental illness due to possessing the need to roll one's eyes repeatedly.

Or, one could consider the very conservative husband in our city who is sitting in jail this week because he tried to kill his wife. She is the sweetest person and would likely tell everyone how happy she was...because her very life depended upon it. I hope that mf doesn't make bail.

White role models are worse; manosphere podcaster or crypto-bro are significantly less useful to society than basketball player, rapper, or drug kingpin.

C'mon man. We know you're wealthy enough to be a world traveler. NYC and California have some of the world's most attractive women, and none of them look at the current press secretary as a role model.

Ubiquitous porn usage is probably frying some brains, but I’m inclined to immediately dismiss any article pointing to decreased alcohol use — and thereby abuse — as contributing to declining mental health. A lot has gotten worse for the kids, but decreased boozing isn’t making things worse. It’s asinine. Let’s take these depressed kids and throw alcohol into the mix and expect it to get better.

Assuming the truth of the claim regarding mental health and political affiliation made by the Baptist deacon who lives out the Sermon on the Mount by belittling the least among us, it makes sense that religious people — with a healthier social structure as well as social pressure to not express mental health problems — would report better mental health outcomes.  Maybe some good reasons, maybe some unhealthy reasons.

And the peacocking about how virile and sex obsessed we are is satire, right? The pervs from those 80s movies weren’t heroes anymore than Andrew Tate is. Or maybe this is locker room talk? I love talking about how much sexy sex my sexy sex brain thinks about all day and if it weren’t for all of that sexy sex, I would have dropped out of school, but thanks to all of those sexy sex girls I was chasing — I’m so virile you see — I read Boethius (you see the ladies swoon when you tell them how Boethius mistranslated some Greek sources and then the panties start flying) and now am so rich and manly. I hope I’m doing it right because my manhood is at stake.
