This is the best summary I could come up with:


The prevalence of self-harm among young men is an outward sign that many are lost, failing to come to grips with what it means to step up and be a good man in a post #MeToo world.

English feminist journalist and broadcaster Caitlin Moran told the ABC recently she spent a long time shooting down such suggestions when they were put to her by the mothers of teenage sons.

"Never being able to cry or admit vulnerability; the bubbling anger; the shrugging acceptance of violence; the memory of hitting friends; the prize of recklessness; the need for alcohol or drugs; the total lack of advice, or guidance."

Moran says not knowing where to turn is still leaving far too many young men out in the cold and prime targets for every vocal toxic male on social media.

Brisbane introduction agency owner Linda Prescott agrees that many young men are lost when it comes to relating to the opposite sex.

Ms Prescott gives men and women clients a dating rule book, pointing out areas of clear difference in expectation and judgement.
