Young men are suffering, so why look away? Here's how we start fixing them

The Observer

Andrew Tate is right - about some things. When the misogynist influencer says: “There’s a lot of young men growing up today that feel very disaffected, who feel invisible”

- Richard Reeves

he is right. When he says: “Men's issues are largely overlooked”, he is right. When he says: “The people in charge of the world are not really interested in men’s issues”, well, he's not entirely wrong.

We are on the brink of a moral panic over the state of our sons. The Adolescence on Netflix has brought anxiety about boys and men to fever pitch. Concern is overdue, but it must be channelled appropriately. The debate is too focused on

the trouble boys and men can cause rather than the trouble they are in. We need to make Tate wrong.
