Männen faller efter

Nytt läge

Varför talas det inte om ”Pojkkrisen” som är ett faktum och som sprider sig runt om i västvärlden. Kanske är de burdusa och aggressiva männens framgångar inom politiken en konsekvens av att allt fler pojkar och män är vilsna, ensamma och inte konkurrenskraftiga. Att kvinnorna många gånger också är bättre utbildade och minst lika prestationsorienterade som män har ändrat männens möjligheter på arbetsmarknaden. Nytt läge är det för pojkar och män i en tid som aldrig varit jämlikare. Särskilt jämlikt är Sverige. Nedan BBC reportage är intressant. När får denna utveckling bättre ljus på sig än idag i landet Sverige. Inte minst många av alla dagens unga grova brottslingar tillhör dessa vilsna pojkar. 

Young men in the US are struggling. There's no shortage of statistics – about academic achievement, income levels, loneliness, even lack of sex – which indicate that the boys are not alright. Compared to young women, boys are getting left behind.”

But even having the conversation about how to tackle the young man crisis is complicated, and can leave girls feeling, well, put out. After all, girls and women have had centuries of inbuilt disadvantages to contend with, don't they finally deserve a moment to shine? Add in the bad actors online, those who try to spin the plight of struggling young men into a zero-sum rallying cry for vengeance against women, and the conversation becomes trickier still.”

Katty Kay: Set out the landscape for me on why you're looking at men, what the crisis is as you see it in the mental and physical health of young men. 

Scott Galloway: Look, the data's overwhelming: Four times as likely to kill themselves. Three times as likely to be addicted, 12 times as likely to be incarcerated. Record levels of depression. We're raising the most obese, anxious and depressed generation in history. For the first time, a 30-year-old isn't doing as well as his or her parents were at 30. Women are making more money in urban centres under the age of 30 than men. And by the way, I think that's a wonderful thing. I think that's a sign of victory and [there's] also more women-owned single homes than men. I don't think we should do anything to get in the way of that.”

While loneliness is an issue for both genders, it seems to be especially hard, or a lack of a romantic relationship seems to be especially damaging, for a young man. Women tend to channel some of that romantic energy if they don't have it into their friendships and into the professional career, whereas men tend to, young men tend to channel it into things like video games or porn – or begin sequestering from society. So, we just have a group of emotionally and economically unviable young men.”

Det är mycket som behöver lagas inom svensk skola. En av många saker som behöver förbättras är en pedagogik som fungerar bättre för många pojkar. Nedan några artiklar kopplat till det.
