Noticed when societies go a bit off kilter, women are much easier to talk to sometimes (Can't believe I ever say this). Or maybe women are less interest to go extreme in the first place (family, home, other values more important). I mean how many lawyers in the city of London make it to the top and are female. Or run hedge funds. Or go for 100km races. Anyway, big changes in societies come when men change - maybe we will see that soon.

Jeffrey Hirsch responds:

Interesting observations. My wife and I actually just watched the Louis Theroux documentary Inside the Manosphere - it’s a fascinating (if often cringey) look at these societal shifts. With two sons (18 and 21), I can see the validity of the motivation behind some of these trends, even if the execution is often extreme or 'trashy.'

I’d highly recommend Scott Galloway’s new book, Notes on Being a Man, as a counter-balance. It covers similar ground but with a focus on being a 'mensch' rather than a hustler. I actually gave copies to my sons this week after I finished it with a note about what fine young men they already are. It’s a great read.
