What's Wrong with Men? Part 1

Men are dying. They are killing themselves with drugs and alcohol
and committing suicide at far higher rates than women. They are
often the perpetrators of violence. Mass shooters are mostly
young men. They are turning to authoritarianism and make up a
large portion of far-right extremists and MAGA activists.


What's wrong with men? New studies show that implicit bias is
strongest against men. Men are more the subjects of implicit bias
than people of color or the poor.


Men have become the public enemy number one in our culture. They
are viewed as dogs and trash, among many other things. The
saying, "Women need a man like a fish needs a bicycle" has become
popular among Women who no longer need financial support from
men. Studies show that women are happier being single and no
longer want to love and take care of a man. All of this has a
profound effect on men. Pining for the past when they had more
authority, Men are turning to drugs, alcohol, suicide, and
authoritarianism.


Richard Procida, an early pro-feminist activist, the author of
"Social Issues in Global Perspective: Pornography," and the
leader of the Truth and Democracy Coalition led a discussion
about "What's Wrong with Men and What to do about it." A survivor
of severe sexual abuse, he will tell his story, address the
problems facing men today, and talk about what needs to happen to
move men back from the brink and back to sanity.
