My latest newsletter: Obama on the male malaise - 8 takeaways. As he says: "We haven't been as willing to be intentional about investing in the boys. And that's been a mistake." Yes it has. But one that is slowly being corrected. We rise together.

I don't think this fact is well known enough: The growth in male suicide rates since 2010 has been among YOUNG men, in contrast to the previous decade when it was middle-aged men cc @jonathanhaidt.bsky.social @twenge.bsky.social aibm.org/research/mal...

It's a small thing, I know. But I think if we read "a doctor wants to prescribe HIS patient" someone would notice and change it.

Young men want to get married, have kids, own a house. Shocking, this generation. www.ymrp.org/posts/ymrp-r...

"Just when it was reasonable to hope that we could forget about Andrew Tate for a while, here he is again, smeared across the newsfeed like malignant pus." But great to see conservatives denouncing him. My take: ofboysandmen.substack.com/p/everybody-...
Everybody hates Andrew Tate
Including Ben Shapiro, Josh Hawley, Ron DeSantis, Dave Portnoy, Megyn Kelly...

The gender pay gap has reversed sharply among young workers (16-24) in the UK. Good news that women's pay is going up. Bad news that men's pay is stagnating.

As a think-tank head, I get as much delight from supporting this kind of research as from some of the flashier stuff we do. High quality analysis on an important, topical issue: given gaps in college, will women with BAs find someone to marry? papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
