But that’s not what the article says at all. The very first paragraph is literally..
“A generation of young men are facing far worse outcomes than young women. We don’t value boys and masculinity. Too many young men are isolated. Boys and young men are in crisis.”
They’ve been throwing out misandrist content for an age now, are we really surprised? They still have articles up where the writer has genuinely justified hatred against men. No one can tell me that if the constant misandrist content they put out, was instead misogynistic, that they would still have the credibility from people that they still have
Over the last 25 years, the Guardian has periodically published articles discussing the repeated statistics that show the ongoing failure of the education system in respect of white working class boys. They have repeatedly discussed how the education is catering for other groups (e.g. girls, various ethnic minorities) and how white working class boys are being ignored/left behind. But for the entire time, there seems to be no interest in addressing and resolving this issue.
Then they are puzzled as white Gen Alpha boys react by following the likes of Andrew Tate and adopt right wing views.
Nope. Just people trying to make it into another tiresome culture wars issue. You don’t actually care about the issue. It’s just something that can be leveraged as rage bait.
It terrifies me what has been done to the position of young men in society. I’m all for equality of the sexes, having a sister, and daughter. But it appears that equality, has meant the demonisation of men/boys, the denigration of masculinity and a focus on women to the exclusion of boys and thier problems. A lot of people would say “well women were marginalised for many years”, but why then is it ok to revisit that on a generation of males who never perpetrated that marginalisation.
The suicide rate for makes says it all. We have a terrible crisp ongoing at this time.
Guardian is a garbage, biased outlet.
Except the guardian has published lots of articles about mens mental health:

This took 5 seconds to Google and there are many more.
They do the same with suicide as do the Samaritans.
4* more men annually kill themselves than females.
If that was a female specific health crisis it would be national news daily till rectified.
I’m not discounting female challenges at all, I’m just pointing out that men have specific issues also, the symptoms of which are proof.
Anyone else notice that modern people and articles etc are competing over whos the most damaged and proud of it.
Its like telling kids that lost they were great at school made all the kids want to be losers. Those kids are now moulding policy and writing articles about how everyone’s suffering and competing over who’s suffering the worst.
Its no wonder we have record numbers of people with mental illness and people on benefits who are “incapable ” of working.
Who would have known this would be the outcome of trying to remove competition from society and celebrating trauma…
Thick as mince to have a take like this. For a start boys are not men. Guessing you haven’t actually read the article OP…
Yes, the Guardian a business around selling newspapers and ads, is feeling and is upset… Despite being one of the best papers for trying to get more mental health support especially for the youth.
If you can honestly believe and defend this statement I am at a loss for words.
