The problem is MEDIA.
Good role models, and good men aren't shown - There is no money in it.
Tate and his like, 'interest' people, even if in a bad way (like a car crash), but intelligent, courageous, mentally strong men are not 'interesting', so they never get coverage.
The most known about man in the world at the moment, Trump, is a rapist, a convict, a liar, a fraud and a criminal, yet he is shown on TV every day, even when not in office. He is arguably the most powerful man in the world.
We, (I use that term loosely) idolise sports stars, movie stars, musicians, 'celebrities', YouTubers, influencers, politicians, people who are largely morally bankrupt, selfish and often criminals.
Kids in general are taught money = success.
Why?
Because that is all the media shows.
Do kids have a choice?
No.
So there is no role models because the kids don't know about them.

Bring the pendulum back from delusional to centered.
The loudest get the attention today, and that is the issue.

It's a weird thing, that for you, it was a coach; for me, it was my Biology and Literature teachers. It's not about teamwork or sharing, it's about finding someone who understands your interests and connects with you, because they're also passionate about these interests; and they're older figures you admire. And that's what's weird, or problematic: that these older men that children admire ARE NOT THEIR FATHERS. Because they are absent, working, and don't spend as much time with their boys as these other men/teachers, coachs, do; so boys look for these role models ELSEWHERE, while the fathers are relegated to that serious figure that corrects you and you always fight with -.-

Absolutely loving this video. Men truly need spaces to air out their grivances where they are heard and guided, and not being seen as a threat. That way we can grow as a society, with solidarity and empathy.

Fathers have generally been absent from their children’s lives even when in the same household.
The American family mostly relied on women to deal with children while men worked. Society provided an uneven advantage to men so that a Father’s absence/lack of involvement didn’t affect men’s prospects. Once women gained equal footing in society, men began to struggle to compete on equal footing.
Not sure if it’s a Father’s absence as it is how we raise our sons. We’ve failed to prepare them for the world they are growing into. Instead we’re raising them for a world that no longer exists.

All this could be summed up with: If we funded schools better so they could have more high quality after school curriculums and funded community centers like libraries better for more youth activities; then boys would likely find better role models in real life + learn to model collaborative relationships.

So glad there is attention on this , I seen this years ago
@DoctorRevers
I was a boy and now I’m a man. Proud not to be scum because it seems like a lot turn out that way.
Maybe not totally their fault but a pretty scary reflection of how our society is developing, devolving.

Everyone/every gender should have access to spaces they’re comfortable in, but to assert that we must cater to antiquated definitions of what it means to be a man is the problem. We need to teach everyone, regardless of gender, how to interact in socially empathetic ways.

“Men, shoulder to shoulder, communicating while doing things. Never stare them in the eye”
Funny and comical.
Talking qt the urinals or Roman toilets where me sat side by side and talked (it was like a socil event)
@carolgonsoulin
I think, ultimately, it is up to parents to provide guard rails for their children against Internet use until they are at least 17 maybe 16 years of age. Giving children a chance to form enough brain development to be able to discern and have a structure in place of a common morality based on good social norms. But how likely is that to happen? How can Boy Scout leaders and teachers circumvent bad parenting?
