> the world has changed, mostly for the better

This remains to be seen, honestly

There are an awful lot of unhappy men out there and they are going to boil over eventually




It may be less boiling over, and more exiting. A major increase in suicides, increasingly fewer people willing to do jobs, and a ever aging demographic with increased pressure on social support and health care. Everyone looses with no clear path forward.


Well, mass shootings are increasing as well

That would seem to qualify as "boiling over" to a certain extent to me


That is a US centric issue. There are a lot of "unhappy men" in the rest of the western societies as well, and no atrocities like that. Thankfully.


That sounds more covering the issue rather than addressing the root cause.


I've never heard of a treatment where the symptoms aren't treated while the root cause is sought and hopefully tackled.


Mass stabbings then


Let's hope they learn to grow up before that.
