Male Inequality: Why modern men are on the decline | Richard Reeves

Published: May 11, 2023, 8 a.m.

We may have unintentionally swung the pendulum on women\u2019s rights and equality in a way that is creating unforeseen consequences for men and boys.\nWe\u2019re talking about male inequality and sorting through some of the biggest contributing factors affecting fathers, sons, husbands, and boyfriends. The mounting data is telling a story of women being able to live well without the need for men and in the absence of a well defined male role in our modern society, men are on the decline.\nMales are struggling with education, agency, purpose, and seeing higher numbers of suicide.\xa0\nRichard Reeves joins Tom Bilyeu to highlight some key points that we as a society must take into consideration as we decide how to move forward. Richard was named one of the top 50 thinkers in the US for his work on class and inequality. He\u2019s also the author of the book, Of Boys and Men.\nDisturbing factors Richard is underlining in this conversation includes:\n\nWomen no longer need marriage to survive and marriage is proving to be more important to men than women\n\nDeinstitutionalization of masculinity in a cultural problem\n\nBiology, culture, and the individual thrive together and not apart from one another\n\nCheck out Richard Reeves book, Of Boys and Men: https://www.amazon.com/Boys-Men-Modern-Struggling-Matters/dp/0815739877\xa0\n\nFollow Richard Reeves\nWebsite: https://richardvreeves.com/\xa0\nTwitter:\xa0https://twitter.com/RichardvReeves\xa0\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/richardv.reeves\xa0\n\nSPONSORS:\nThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
