Newsom Says California Can Better Support Young Boys and Men | KQED
Briefly

Lonely young men are increasingly drawn to echo chambers as they seek direction and express frustrations. Influencers like Andrew Tate capitalize on their resentment towards women regarding workforce and educational disparities. Dr. Ronald Levant notes that men, particularly white men, have lost the advantages previously associated with patriarchy, impacting their job prospects. To combat male loneliness, depression, and unemployment, addressing these issues early in education is vital. Levant suggests a public education campaign targeting parents, teachers, and coaches to foster supportive environments for boys, enabling them to develop their own identities amidst societal pressures.
