We have made it all too easy for them to access pornography, addictive video games, fast food, and drugs, simultaneously shaming them for it, while chanting “The future is female!” We’ve blamed them for their mental health issues, suggesting their masculinity is at fault and, contradictorily, that they simply need to ‘man up.’ We’ve been telling them to ‘open up’ and ‘shut up’ at the same time. This societal neglect has paved the way for figures like Tate to rise, filling a vacuum created by the absence of attention to the real issues facing boys and men. By our institutions ignoring these challenges, we opened the door to truly toxic voices that have since influenced the direction of men and masculinity, for the worse. The opportunists have entered the battlefield to win over men, and we let them in." --@LisaBritton XXX engagements  **Related Topics** [fast food](/topic/fast-food) [drugs](/topic/drugs) [tate](/topic/tate) [Post Link](https://x.com/NancyRPearcey/status/1945880356676366715)
