Failing to redress the issues facing young men will push them further towards the far right

in several areas there is now a reverse gender gap, with boys, particularly those from poorer backgrounds, struggling to keep up with girls

Do you think this is an important issue?

Only commenting because I can't down vote on my instance. This is repulsive MRA fluff from a consistently misogynistic writer. Nothing to add because its not worth platforming.

There's an odd tendency amongst certain sections of society to immediately dismiss issues that other people are experiencing based on disgust at some of the people airing the issues. Just because someone unpalatable to you co-opts the issue doesn't mean it's a none-issue.

If we want to stop being surprised by things like Brexit and Donald Trump being elected then attempting to silence discussion like this above piece isn't going to help.

Doesn't need we need to listen and share disgusting people just because the issue they're coopting actually somewhat real

These youths need a national jobs program, with training and then sent all over the country to repair and maintain the infrastructure of the country that is likely in disrepair.

Give people purpose and they might gain a drive to either do good at that job or do anything they can to get a better life outside of work.

As for the misogyny, make feminist pornography the only porn available at worksites. I don't know, that one is a harder issue to fix.
