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. ofboysandmen.substack.com/p/obama-on-t...

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.

“If we are serious about reducing race gaps in economic opportunity, household wealth, et cetera, then our attention should be squarely focused on economic outcomes for Black boys and men — period. Full stop." - @richardreeves.bsky.social Check out the full article by Clyde McGrady:

🚨first bluesky🚨 I wrote the cover story for the new issue of @thenation.com on how the "proudly boring" British policy wonk @richardreeves.bsky.social became America's manhood guru www.thenation.com/article/soci...

"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-...

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. www.thetimes.com/uk/society/a...

Homelessness looks quite different for men and women, mostly because men are more likely to be single (& so unsheltered), while women are more likely to be with children. See our new research brief from @aibm.bsky.social aibm.org/research/hom...

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....

"I remember trying to explain to my parents what parenting was. 'What are you saying?' 'I said parenting.' 'That's a verb now?' 'Yeah, it's a verb now. It's a thing you do. Didn't you do parenting?' They're like, 'No. We just had kids,'" writes TPN member @richardreeves.bsky.social.

"In recent decades, family laws have shifted in a more egalitarian direction toward divorce," writes TPN member @richardreeves.bsky.social. "...The problem is hat there are no similar laws for unmarried parents." ofboysandmen.substack.com/p/unmarried-...

“There’s a bit of a trend right now to start to think the worst of each other. It’s really hard to have a good dating market if both the men and women are tending to think the worst of each other in advance." Me to Allie Volpe @vox.com www.vox.com/explain-it-t...

“The neglect of male problems is not good - not only for men, but in the long run it's not good for any of us either. It just creates a massive vacuum in our culture and in our politics," says TPN member @richardreeves.bsky.social on @thedailyshow.com .
