The Decline of American Men: What Happened?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- In recent decades, America’s men have undergone a massive decline. And the effects can be seen everywhere from education to employment to addiction.
The top 10% of students are 2/3 female while the bottom 10% is 2/3 male. Even before COVID, there were 9 million men between the ages of 25-54 who weren’t in the labor force. And nearly 75% of “deaths of despair” happen amongst men.
So, why are men falling behind? Researchers have some ideas.
In education, part of the problem may be that girls’ brains mature faster than boys. Research suggests that if girls and boys start school at the same age, the girls will be better intellectually prepared - which leads to learning gaps that only increase over time.
In the job market, men are overrepresented in fields like production, transportation, and construction - fields where jobs are more likely to disappear thanks to automation.
What makes matters even worse: There’s a long track record of educational and social welfare programs that are successful for women, yet have virtually no effect on men.
So, is there anything we can do?

So if you say that a girls brain is more mature than the boys, then why is it that women
are less involved in more complex jobs as firefighters or scaffolders, in most cases these
jobs require critical thinking, toiling ,artistry..this is nonsense bro
Fatherlessness is also huge factor. More and more men growing up without fathers and without male role models young men obviously will decline! The importance of fathers is paramount!
Ok, then be a role model to them. Y’all keep saying this but won’t do anything to help fix the problem

Women and their henchmen (police) won't let us. 🤷
I had my boys start a year late in school. It made all the difference. They were each the top student in the class and leaders among their peers. Today, they are independent, confident leaders and mentors in their chosen fields.
One is an Astro physicist and economist for NASA. Another is an executive pastor of a mega church and organized the largest food pantry in NYC. Another is a writer and invested as a young man in the stock market. My daughter is a surgical nurse so I wouldn’t feel right leaving her out.
Oh I forgot. I homeschooled and created a classical program for them. It’s not easy in our society to raise men. They are attacked at every corner. But if you stay the course and lean on God it will work out.
@@r.durante528 I'm one year late for this. But Sir I want to thank you for doing this and I'm very glad for your sons. I'm sure you are very proud of them.
I've lived in the USA for years as a European and I must say, American men, as a collective, are somewhat stagnant in their maturity level. There is something not quite right about many American men. It's as if they are stuck between this adolescence and adult phase. I never in my entire life ever met men from anywhere in the world as insecure as Americans. I suspect it has a lot to do with the media and entertainment industry that glorify primitive ideas of masculinity that are unrealistic in 21st century society. I think a lot of men feel inadequate or frustrated. It's important for a man to love himself and others. Thats the most brave and masculine thing you can do.
European men watch their wives have sex with other men and believe it’s acceptable. You go to work to slave for a woman who don’t even like you. Your birth rate is lower than the us. Yes tell me more about your masculinity
That's interesting that Europeans are always the first to talk shit about America but always get smoked in the world wars i wonder why
LOL look at the responses. Immature american men confirmed. It's like they are children. Kinda cute actually.
@@umarjongi3590 you hate America because you feel inferior compared to us.
Another thing, isn't it a double standard when people say respect other cultures ECT but you abdulist don't do the same with our culture.
I'm curious, what do you mean by primitive ideas of masculinity.
Because to elevate women society actively pulls men down. Didn't have to be this way. Also missed is historically both men and women used to have to work. It was only a relatively brief period of modern history where women stayed home, and that started as a privilege.
You had me in the first two sentences and the you lost me.
Excellent vid!
Though I disagree with the assertion that it isn’t a zero sum game. Sure, in some respects it’s not a zero sum game-like education. A woman getting a bachelor’s degree doesn’t prevent a man from getting a bachelor’s degree. But when it comes to employment, there’s only so many slots available. There’s single boss or supervisor slots that if occupied by a woman, can’t be occupied by a man. There’s a limited number of engineers employed, say, at any given time. If 35% of the positions are filled with women, then those positions aren’t available for men. And if engineering firms are preferentially hiring women (which they are), then for any given job opening, mens chances are reduced. Now, if it were the case that women were simply, on average, better engineers, then so be it-that’s the market working the way it should. But that’s not the case. Women aren’t better engineers. The market is tilted in favor of women due to the societal pressure that’s being placed in the STEM field. And I certainly don’t want to go in the HEAL direction. Those jobs don’t pay as well.
Even the women are quitting the jobs in teaching. Regarding men teaching elementary school, I believe few do because they might be suspected of having inappropriate intentions.
The fact that this video has 475k views and only 286 likes may be telling us something. Men are not viewed by women or other men as a group that society has a desire to support. It’s probably biological.
But men have always needed strong leadership. Jesus had a large men’s ministry where He was actively and daily pouring into men’s lives. Walking with men and teaching them how to live.
My sense is that the collective mindset of male dominance is literally wearing out. There is a new way of being that is under development within male pysche that will replace it. It is in gestation and unknown as of yet. It will be based on ancient archetypes and yet completely new. It will be beautiful!
Excellent content yet again!
It's because much fewer men have families and wives that compel them to constantly do more and more..and many more men are raised in fatherless homes.
This is the true reason.
If I’m not going to have a wife and kids why work?
Food? Gas for a car or motorcycle? A roof over your head - or are you going to live in the basement with your parents or at a friend's place? Unfortunately, single women get many of the same complaints. It wasn't until my fifth manager ( in 3 years in the same dept) in a high tech company told me that my salary did come up at a meeting, and the DEPARTMENT MANAGER said that I didn't NEED a raise - I guess he assumed I was in a 2 salary home!! He had seen my resume, other managers had talked to me, yet none of them could imagine a single woman working. After I changed departments, I went to our new Ethics department and told the head of that department what I had found out. I had been hired as if I had a BS degree with no experience. NOOO. I was more than half way through my doctorate and had 4 1/2 years of experience in this field. Six weeks later, I got the promotion to the correct level and a 15% pay raise in a year that the company wasn't giving pay raises. That was in a right to work state, which I hate. Luckily, I'm retired now and only have to work with goats, not asses. Yes, I raise registered meat goats.
No, some of the women's success DOES COME AT the expense of men. Not all, but a damn good 40%. I know this because there ARE TONS OF OTHER VIDEOS about this made by social scientists and honest philosophers and historians who talk about this, "kite and Key".
Correction, 85%.
Lmao “the steps we can take to help men don’t have to come at the expense of women”. Wish that logic was applied with “helping” minorities and women.
Subbed because of this video & was recommended another off twitter. Excellent analysis of the situation!
We're glad you're here! ⚡️
YES WE IN CONTROL NOW! =)
@@KiteandKeyMedia In a nutshell, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th wave feminism is the culprit.
@GIRLRAZR Meanwhile the average woman is wondering where all the men have gone. You do not speak for women. Your way destroys humans, our way has kept the human race going for 1000s of years. You want control and privilege, not equality. You'll die alone unloved, hated by men you alienated, surrounded by empty bottles of boxed wine. And where your cats finally do return to you, it'll be to eat your body after you die with no one to bury you. Oh yeah, you got the world on a fuckin' string baby!
@@GIRLRAZR And when civilization crumbles on your watch, remember this post.
Because men good family men were forced to take care of a rich man’s family over their own
This!
What do you mean by this statement?
Unchecked capitalism and feminism.
I'm Brazilian and I live in Italy. What I see here is that women have guarantees.
Women have their own female friends, their boyfriend and their family that support them on an emotional and psychological level. Women can easily study, find seasonal jobs and choose when they will have a boyfriend. They can say I will study first than I will have a boyfriend or they can say I will have a boyfriend and I will study at the same time or they can say I will study, think about my career become what I want than I will have a boyfriend. Men don't have these guarantees. You can speak more than two languages, have a degree but still don't have a girlfriend or be sure that you will have a good job or a girlfriend that will support you during your hard times. With these premises it's normal that we are unsatisfied. I do meditation to deal with this peoblem, but that's good for me. It doesn't mean that it's good for others.
hopefully woman can keep the fundamentals of society running without collapse, saying the growth of woman hasnt come at the expense of men is the biggest lie in this video.
Women success defiantly came at the expense of men.
1:11
Yes 1:11, watch it again. And pay attention. Or just blame other people for everything going wrong in your own life. Gods know, everything is always the woman’s fault, right?
Employment is not a zero sum situation. Just because I have a job does not mean you can't have a job. It all depends on which type of job you are looking for, and what knowledge and work ethic the company is looking for. Now, there are situations where particular people (Veterans, disabled) get "extra points" on their resume to help a company or government meet their quota, and I lost good jobs because I didn't have those extra qualities they wanted. Basically, companies and the government will mess with us " commoners " when ever they can.
what success? onlyfans?
Modern feminism is the cause. Very simple.
LOL. Real men are fine. It's the macho war losers coping with Iraq & failing to work smarter the last few decades that think men are in trouble. They want to be able to hit their wife + kids again. Instead, they are shooting up schools. If youre white male and NOT secure after the last three decades of hyper growth, it's your fault.
Indeed, modern feminism explains why women are beginning to succeed in traditionally male spaces and in some cases, kick men’s asses while doing so. Go women 👏🏼 Now let’s find ways to continue to support our men!
There's nothing "modern" about modern feminism. It's has always been a man hating cult.
@@natalieelskamp03 the only reason why women are succeeding, is because are set-up up for them succeed, awomen never built anything, and not to mention men are the ones who still maintain civilization survival.
@@natalieelskamp03That was biblical prophecy for you all to be in the position that you’re in; however, we’re in those prophetic times where it’s about to be very rough for you prideful women that thought feminism was/is the way..
Good program, however I cannot believe you didn't mention the lack of early tracking into skills training for skilled trades and/or trade schools! Obviously, most men are not geared or interested in academics or administrate type careers; and most are not naturally geared to work with kids, healthcare, etc. Most men are builders and fixers of various sorts, thus need more hands-on options; the earlier the better!
It's probably in part because high schools get some sort of "credit" for sending a large percentage of their students to college, so it often ends up that the students in the "vo-tech" courses are generally those at the lower half of the academic achievement scale, and children of college-educated parents are expected to go to college.
Oh women are gonna love this video.
Not this woman, it's disgraceful and heartbreaking.
@@DeniseThomson-d1p thank you (:
We need better men
Personally, I think the videos showing young men doing stupid things kind of undercuts the message of the video.
If Reeves' suggestions are the best we've got then we've got nothing.
He offers nothing but stats that have been available for decades.
Reeves is a feminist simp, one of feminism's useful idiots.
Has nothing to do with any of that. It’s just the nature of things. There is no more low hanging fruit. You have to really be clever to try to come up with the next big idea that will make you rich. Wasn’t like this 30 years ago
Big corps went around killed all the female fruit trees because who needs nature.? (So no fruit at all) Who needs a balance? We're literally being poisoned by the FDA 😂😂😂 I buy my ketchup from Canada 😂
Can we define what a woman is before we continue?
LOL! Good point in these times!
Something that you see as a breeding factory and think that you're gonna own one day. There you go
A question for lgbqtM1234.
the internet and capitalism.
Does anyone ever consider that we have been running the economy wrong since the 1950s? In the 1930s John Maynard Keynes was writing about a 15 hour workweek for our grandchildren. But how much planned obsolescence was happening in the 1930s?
So we have created an economic treadmill based on planned obsolescence instead of making accounting/finance mandatory in the schools.
Most Americans could have had homes paid for by the 90s.
Ask an economist how much American consumers lose on the depreciation of durable consumer goods each year. Can an economist tell the difference between a banana and an air conditioner? Depreciation only matters if you can file it with the IRS so there is no practical difference.
There will never be a 15-hour workweek for most people. The reason is that many, if not most, people are willing to work much more than that, so that keeps the "bar" at the full workweek level. People are as competitive as ever, so those who work 15 hours per week (unless they are independently wealthy, or have a skill so esoteric but valuable that they can command whatever price they want) won't be able to afford what they need to live comfortably.
Two women stranded in a McDonalds parking lot. They were unable to replace a flat tire. Stupid me a Man came to the rescue and replaced their tire in about 10 minutes. 9 hours later, a Man was stranded on the side of the road. I felt so better about myself helping the Man than I did the 2 Females.
doesn't make sense. YOu need to give a better explanation that "just saying" that you felt better. WHY?
1. Be romantic and emotional 2. Be committed to every word with me 3. He respects my big dreams, listens to me with respect, and does not call me crazy for what I want 4. He has good money and is not stingy with me in money, and when I ask him for anything, he does it for me and is happy.. I want man American
this is not about you, go daydream somewhere else
You started off so negative. Women had it better before they were basically forced to work or marry a well to do man.
This is completely untrue. You're protecting abuse.
@@java4653 How is it abuse to never need to work an outside job, but instead having the best life possible raising children?
@@lightdark00most people who have caught on to feminism know it's a scam by now 😂 women have always had it easy. They speak on other people's experience like it's there own, most are narcissists or just bullies that want that entitlement from highschool to never end .

Yawn. Surprised you didn't quote Orwell or Burke...
I think this is just another symptom of a larger issue: a species addicted to endless economic growth and resource extraction that is already red lining at it's limits.
Many of the societal ills of today are classic signs of a species under stress.
Population bottleneck appears more and more likley in the coming decades.

I wish this great video did not start out with the ridiculously false statement that women were treated like second-class citizens. Many men weren't allowed to vote either -- for example, those who didn't own property.
Women were treated like second class citizens IMO. Women were not allowed to own property (land). Women were not allowed to vote. Women weren’t allowed to apply for a credit card without a husband’s signature. Women were and are paid less for equal work. Women are paid poorly for caregiver services.
false statement? LOL!
