What Is The Left Saying About Male Loneliness?
We looked at Bluesky posts to find out.
"We found that posts pinning the blame [for male loneliness] on men, denying an epidemic exists, or suggesting that men “deserve it” received the most likes and reposts, with satirical or ironic posts trailing in popularity." youngmenresearchinitiative.substack.com/p/what-is-th...

Obama on the male malaise: 8 takeaways
Why he thinks it is time to focus more on boys and men
My latest newsletter: Obama on the male malaise - 8 takeaways. As he says: "We haven't been as willing to be intentional about investing in the boys. And that's been a mistake." Yes it has. But one that is slowly being corrected. We rise together.

I don't think this fact is well known enough: The growth in male suicide rates since 2010 has been among YOUNG men, in contrast to the previous decade when it was middle-aged men cc @jonathanhaidt.bsky.social @twenge.bsky.social aibm.org/research/mal...

It's a small thing, I know. But I think if we read "a doctor wants to prescribe HIS patient" someone would notice and change it.

At Black Colleges, a Stubborn Gender Enrollment Gap Keeps Growing
Only 19 percent of students at Howard University are Black men, whose enrollment levels at four-year colleges have plummeted across the board.
“If we are serious about reducing race gaps in economic opportunity, household wealth, et cetera, then our attention should be squarely focused on economic outcomes for Black boys and men — period. Full stop." - @richardreeves.bsky.social

Everybody hates Andrew Tate
Including Ben Shapiro, Josh Hawley, Ron DeSantis, Dave Portnoy, Megyn Kelly...
"Just when it was reasonable to hope that we could forget about Andrew Tate for a while, here he is again, smeared across the newsfeed like malignant pus." But great to see conservatives denouncing him. My take: ofboysandmen.substack.com/p/everybody-...

The gender pay gap has reversed sharply among young workers (16-24) in the UK. Good news that women's pay is going up. Bad news that men's pay is stagnating.

Homelessness looks quite different for men and women, mostly because men are more likely to be single (& so unsheltered), while women are more likely to be with children. See our new research brief from @aibm.bsky.social aibm.org/research/hom...

As a think-tank head, I get as much delight from supporting this kind of research as from some of the flashier stuff we do. High quality analysis on an important, topical issue: given gaps in college, will women with BAs find someone to marry? papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

How to Dad
A conversation about parenting in the modern world
"I remember trying to explain to my parents what parenting was.
'What are you saying?' 'I said parenting.' 'That's a verb now?' 'Yeah, it's a verb now. It's a thing you do. Didn't you do parenting?'
They're like, 'No. We just had kids,'" writes TPN member @richardreeves.bsky.social.
