I was horrified to listen to this talk that man Scott Galloway after I listen to him speak I understood just like in the book concerning violence. It is the white man. It is the white slave master, who believes that his story in his way is always the right way, this man should never speak on the Middle East that would be like China deciding how America should live shame on him. This is a horrible disgusting person. He is a white colonialist.
He is right about being paternal. I work in the trades and started noticing the young guys following me around the shop or the grounds. It took a few years to realize this 18 19 20 year old dudes were desperate for some guidance, for an older man to take interest in them. Now when I hire these young guys I realize I am not just a boss, I am a big brother.
I had this in my reserve unit. I chastised this young 18 year old about his finances and personal decisions, which to my surprised caused him to reach out to me for guidance. We eventfully got him to understand how to budget his money, refinance his car, and move out on his own. But his personal life -- relationship decisions really annoyed me -- as he thought the Plan B pills are an acceptable for of birth control. I tried and tried to get this line of thinking out of his head to no avail. I shunned him and left the reserves and never reached out. I wish I hadn't done that. He has no men in his life, no adult man to get him to think, and understand the difference between reacting and responding and how decisions he makes even if not directly related to him in this very moment, will come back to haunt him. I wish I hadn't done that. So, my advice to you, and keep big brothering them, even if they act like knuckle heads because eventually you'll breakthrough and the lessons will stick.
What he says about boys not having male role models is 100% true. It’s like the entire school system made a pact to uplift and encourage the girls, while ignoring the boys. I’ve never had a mentor, teacher, counselor, no one who ever took me under their wing and gave me some good advice. For most guys, the heroes we saw in sports and movies were who we strived to be like. I’m now in my 40s, doing okay for myself, but definitely under-achieving. I was a decently smart kid back in my school days, but, where were the real-life role models that could’ve helped steer me in the right direction?? It’s a travesty, smh.
I agree with everything you say about the boys not having that in the schools are not having role models. But you say that as if the girls had that. We didn’t. We had to work very hard to find our place in the school system. Education was not given to women. Women had to take education in their own hands and fight against a system that didn’t want to educate them. This is a problem for both males and females and as long as we keep talking about it as if the males don’t have it then we are going to keep them divided.
@@danzwithizabel1175 I disagree. I’ve had this discussion with my sisters as well as female friends, and they actually agree with me. They can rattle off this mentor, or this professor who helped them along the way, and for them to hear that so many guys like myself were ignored throughout school blew their minds, they had no idea! So, now that so many women today are successful and wondering why so many men have fallen behind, look no farther than the school system. I’m not sure how old you are, but, it sounds like you may be speaking of previous generations of students. Presently, there is an obvious difference in the time and investment given to girls versus boys in the school system, so much so, that college enrollment for boys are at an all-time low. To deny that there is a gender bias within the school system is just (with all due respect) plain ridiculous.
100% agree. My father confessed to me that he met his role model, his mentor at the army. Growing up in a large family and working parents, my father started acting up at school, his parents had no time to understand why he was acting up and shipped him to the army. There, he met a man, black man like him who told him he could be someone, that he was a talented mechanic, showed him how to avoid conflict and sometimes out of respect turn the other cheek. Thanks to this man, my dad found his passion and profession. He has his own business, 50 years in and going. To give back, my dad takes troubled young men as apprentices. Some stay, some leave and come back. The door is always open. The army has given so much to him, I can see the difference between his critical thinking and that of my uncles who didn't enlist. I really think it should be mandatory like in Greece.
From WW2 onto the end of the Cold War the Army helped to make boys into disciplined men. We should at least increase the number of Recruits to 500,000 yearly.
"We've decided, when it comes to men, that compassion is a zero sum game. And that if you feel bad for men, it immediately out you as someone that could be anti-women." DUDE, PREACH !!!
What if there were groups for guys that might revolve around sports or fitness, but included a lot of mentoring? And perhaps getting this type of thing monetized?
@@laStar972chuck I know. I just don't know how you could attract all the help that would be needed. I think you are on to something that could be really helpful.
Worse, I think it's a negative-sum game. People actively care less about issues that effect both men and women once they're aware that men are suffering in some way. Most people simply deny it or blame men, even when they are the disproportionate sufferers for many issues.
I got my ideas about masculinity from my dad, who rarely tells me how he feels but is always showing me and others by going out of his way to help them.
I was a boomer, so all of our dads had grown up in the Depression, and then went off to fight WW-2. Talk about tough, masculine, men. They were surprisingly gentle and humorous despite their screaming nightmares. --Old Guy
My dad was the same way.He once told me that he modeled his life on his father,s family who military men, petty court officials,landholders and artisans.
That's me to a T and many women don't want that, they want feelings and emotions yet they also want you to be hyper masculine which those two often conflict. Some even want you to love bomb them which is unhealthy.
@@Ed-ig7fj Yes, better a warrior in a garden then a gardener in a war. The world and women wanted gardners and are surprised that that can't deal with life.
I was a high school English teacher in a low income area of NC. I had a group of young boys who were in my classroom before/after school and in between classes. They were like glue - being around me whenever they could. Part of that may have been that I was young and fun - but I know for sure that all of those guys lacked male role models. It's a problem that has serious real-world consequences. Boys need good male role models.
I grew up in a family as the only boy with 3 sisters and my mother of course. My father was more or less present and didn’t like me so much, he was hitting me physically from time to time. My parents divorced when I was 15. My father and I didn’t see eye to eye so I left home at 18. I was surrounded by my 3 sisters who gave birth to 6 girls (my nieces), not a single boy in the family besides me. When there is a family reunion, I’m surrounded with 10 women (mother, 3 sisters and 6 nieces)! Needless to say that I am the black sheep in the group, they ignore me totally like they have always done. I avoid those family reunions now, I don’t attend them. I went on to succeed the most compared with my siblings, graduated from university, had a great career in commercial real estate, married a great wife and we live in a very upscale neighbourhood. The message is take control of your life, don’t give a f_ck about people who ignore you and be strong.
Every time Galloway opens his mouth he says something challenging and thoughtful and pretty brilliant. This guy really has a handle on where relationships are at and where men are at right now.
I feel like it's the older men who need to be paying attention to his words. My FIL died when my husband was 3. The father of his best friend from kindergarten on stepped into that role and it made a huge difference. His brother didn't have a man to step up for him. Their lives were drastically different in the forms of personal relationships, education, financial success, class of friends, longevity of relationships with both men and women in their lives, etc. It was very stark.
I left teaching because of the "creep" factor. You hardly make enough to live on, so women don't want to date you. You're constantly being watched because no one can believe you'd devote your time altruistically. If you spend too much time with a particular student ( because they're the only one who is listening to you) you get accused of favortism. Ulimately, there are too many downsides, so when I stopped teaching and went into IT, it all turned around. I spend most of my time alone, but the peace is irresistible.
Women don’t date you because you are a teacher and make no money! lol that’s not true guys who are broke are always dating you need to look at yourself and find out why you can’t date a woman. Dating is easy but you need to master being comfortable talking to women. If you don’t you will be lonely most of the time
@@BeYourself-jk5xoppl who are not well adjusted always blame it on the others. I have my bad days and want to isolate from ppl. Its me not them. Some ppl just accept how the world is and survive it and I cant always do that.
Yes according to society, the sole value of men is the value of their bank account. I just stopped caring about what others think of me, made life much more fulfilling.

I think this is one of the most balanced opinions I’ve heard around masculinity and being a young man, this is seriously an antidote to the current environment and I welcome it’s approach as a 25 year old trying to navigate my place in the world . I’ll be buying this mans book as soon as it’s available as I think / hope it will make me a better person and a better man
are your fk ing series man you just cant be men dont you any self worth or pride in you how can any men take this advice its just a slave to left thinking and just promote them
@@painunending4610 I think you missed his point. After a certain point, money doesn't bring you happiness, however, a lack of it can make you very unhappy.
Learn skills first. Those help you get friends, and will get you into groups for ex. The muscisians pool sharks, mechanics/ restorers etc. Im sleeping out of a truck just to afford a $6k TIG welder To get started. F*ck what people tell you, do what you gotta do and dont take no sh*t from nobody young or old.
I'd say that technology, trends and ease of access is the main reason behind, but also the trends of influencers and celebrities. In 70's for example you would got all the music, sports and activism to meet people, get together and find a proper roll models because celebrities were vocal about social injustice. Today kids have everything within a reach of their phones where they get influenced by people who are constantly looking for sponsors. Today we live in a society where most celebrities and influencers would sell anything for money, including themselves. That leaves so many young people attached to narcistic people who only care about their image in media, without doing much to protect, provide and serve those who need attention and help the most.
In absence of fundamentals like male role model boys turn to anything that is currently accessible and accepted such as technology, laziness, drugs and estrogen like attitudes. 😢
Scott The number three item "look after yourself" I believe should be number one. You cannot look after others until you can look after yourself first.
That's been my motto throughout my adult life. I've got to take care of myself first so I can take care of others: family, friends, colleagues, community, etc. My ex wife kept accusing me of being selfish...that's one of the reason we're ex !
The issue I see amongst some men and voices online respond to that question of be a protector is…”well what’s in it for me? Why do I need to sacrifice my life for a society that hasn’t done anything for me in return “. I don’t know how big of an issue this is but if things continue the way they.
This guy is so weak I am amazed he thinks he’s an expert on it. I’m so bored of social intellectual people who alll they do is read books and study - that is NOT masculine . The guys getting action are the OPPOSITE of that lol
Great presentation. Nailed it on the head on every point IMHO. I'm 68 yrs old. Had a successful career and 3 boys who are now successful men. I must admit that growing up today is much more challenging than back in the 60s, 70s, even 80s. Just too much distraction and rapid changes. I'll try to help bring my very young grandson along the proper masculine path...as I did with his dad.
Even when there is a father in the home working full time and a mother working full time (which there basically is no choice) workers have barely any vacation time to spend with their kids. Hard to be a good model when your burnt out all the time! Europeans get 5 weeks off when they start a job. We are lucky to get one. Time to advocate for our workers.
Even if we get vacation with kids, marriages are breaking off for the very same reason as in USA : half of the population was psychologically damaged by immature parents and can not get along with each other. Men blame women, women blame men, but this does not do the hard work of looking at your broken heart, acknowledge that mom and dad were far from perfect, having the courage to put YOUR own shit together, and maybe getting enough empathy to be able to truly love someone.
Having lived in the US and Europe, I found in the US people live to work but Europeans work to live. The US is a wealthier country, but Europeans tend to prioritise quality of life, rather than amassing wealth and buying status. Simple example, when I worked in the US, I drove a beat up (but well maintained) old car while one of my peers bought a new Audi A4; I got endless crap from people about being a cheapskate but after a few years I had a house deposit while my peer had a depreciated car. I bought a modest house and now I'm nearly mortgage free so I can focus on saving money to pay for my kids education (school, sports and skills) which makes me happier than a shiny car ever would. Work to live, don't live to work
As a European who makes 2.2k $ a month working 60 hours a week. I can tell you that I can only get half the money that I make a month. We have a minimal amount of 20 "work days (not a normal days but a day between Mondays and Fridays + you can use also Sunday and Saturday for a rest)" bur all of this comes on a big cost. You let atlleas half of yours salary for taxes and insurance. For a young man USA is better becouse if I had this energy that I have between 18-35 to work in USA I would get better standard of living and I will earn more. EU is cool for older people and probably young people with kids but for young people is a nightmare. You pay the bill for the others, and I tell you this by the prespective of and east European with very communistic and solidarity mindset.
@@k0pera yeah, Europe is dystopian. I grew up poor and worked my way to making 6 figures in my late twenties in the USA, which is almost impossible in Europe. I wish we could ship all our liberals to Europe.
As I've gotten older, I have found that it's quite rewarding to help steward young men into becoming better versions of themselves in whatever method I can help them. People did it for me as a teen and it was tremendously beneficial. We owe it to the next generation to continue the trend. Scott nailed with one of my favorite quotes. "A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit."
Seeing Fathers as irrelevant is grounded in the Post WW period, where fathers just werent there and after that lost the connection to their families. Just being the financial supporter was an image, that grew out of necessity.
@josiah_jackson in what logical way does it make sense to respond to a comment about being proud and confident as a man with some men have no shame. It's so obviously a sassy comeback that in some way involves your personal life and contributes nothing to the conversation
@josiah_jackson using obscure words doesn't make you sound smarter it makes people think you care a lot about people viewing you as smart which is objectively worse than just having a below average IQ. What I interpreted them as saying is that you shouldn't feed into the Kool aid belief that it's shameful to be a man and that you can be inherently toxic like many Torah want you to believe
This is the type of direct and to the point discussion that needs to hit the road! SO much of this resonates with the reality of my 13 year old son's life and what I run into in the business world while I visit the US. Men will no longer get on an elevator alone with a younger woman, I get comments and looked at from women some times because I am not only masculine I revel in it. Why do they look at me...? Society has taught them that men are predators and they should be more like women. I will pause here but Scott thank you again for being out there and for being so direct with your message!
i think an important thing to consider is that in the past, the great inventors, sports figures, astronauts, businessmen, artists, but also ofc actors were THE role models, and in many films certain actors would embody this healthy masculinity, or at least with positive attributes. Nowadays, the biggest role models are influencers, many also young or without much education tbh, but more importantly they are not the great entrepreneurs or innovators of the past, they're not groundbreaking artists, no longer are the role models for young men people who achieve great things. I mean what you have one or two famous rich ppl like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, but u look at any alpha male influencer video and its these sort of unachieving youtubers or twitch streamers who are presented as role models of excellence. However problematic past role models could be, they were better than this.
Marriage and love require and demand strength and it takes work and courage to grow up. It’s the power to endure emotional pain, to sacrifice for a loved one to openly communicate. Mature relationships only come from those qualities and a desire to support each other long past the stage of physical looks and expectations of perfection.
Many men in my generation (born in the 80s) prefer the instant gratification of video games to the hard work of building a business or a homestead, and then wonder why they can't attract / retain a partner. Most women want a man who can be a good father and that means taking care of her when she is disabled by pregnancy / breatsfeeding, not a man-child game partner. But there are exception, I have a couple of friends who are both 50 and grossly out of shape, both are childless and addicted gamers: they chose not to have kids despite a 20 year long marriage so they could play in their freetime.
Mental health counseling is very important as is a reading the great philosophers of all ages. I never had a male role model who offered me a complete picture of the best facets of behavior but with the above help I was able to Integrate into my own life the best of what I saw from the men within my life. No one is perfect but it’s vital to strive to be a better person. That’s how civilization gets better.
It just gets exhausting reading and watching over and over again the negativity that is used to describe masculinity in the West today. I can't help but find it harder and harder to find examples of positive masculinity to hold as a goal and to aspire to, in education, media etc
@@CMS_10 it's hard to know exactly what that role model should be when I find constant critiquing of masculinity causes a lot of self doubt within myself
Even if a boy has a positive role model (aka as a Dad of boys I can vouch for) they can still struggle. I have noticed if boys are not athletic or academic, they can easily be left behind in school.
Really? So boys can have great fathers, uncles, grandfathers, male teachers, male coaches, and male role models on TV, yet still struggles. Huh. Makes no sense what so ever.
Men are discriminated against in higher education. A few years ago I applied for a Respiratory therapist program at a college after meeting all the criteria. I worked in the government, I was an EMT, I had worked at a hospital at the time and had been in healthcare for 6 years, I had excellent grades and grants too. When I went to the interview the Female interviewer said this program wasn't for every body and gave such condensing tones and even called me "dude" this grown 40 year old woman telling a 28 year old man he was a dude. I then talked to a lady who interviewed next after me who had worked as a CNA for 2 months and told me she got the spot in the program even after she said she had no idea what she was doing. Granted she was a nice lady but the discrimination was very apparent. If you ever want to see what female on male discrimination looks like, work in the hospital field. If you aren't a doctor you are essentially at the bottom of the pyramid. There truly is a class system.
My 14 year old son is going through a truly rough time right now. We're going through a rough time. I see so much of the struggles Scott describes, in my son... it breaks my heart every minute of everyday. I wish the men in his life were brave enough. I wish they cared enough to be better men.
Being a provider can mean providing full support for women making more money, making it possible for her to reach her full potential. My female doctor has a "house husband" who manages the entire family, kids, finances, housework, errands, cooking (a great chef), shopping, social arrangements, etc. so she can meet the overwhelming demands of taking care of other people and still have work/life balance.
I think one of the most important traits of masculinity is emotional maturity/control. Men can be dangerous, and should be. But they need to be in control of all of their actions and emotions because of that.
This is a great way to get this information through. I’ve done exactly what he said in the past when I’d hear others cover the male crisis. They’d always come with women hate speech first. I couldn’t hear the really message. Men failed men and women were busy taking care of her own struggle.
Ive been battling depression for 2.5 years since my daughter's birth, because we had 0 help from our parents, with my parents being on the other side of the planet, and my in-laws saying they would help but then decided not to. I was starving for guidance, support and validation, nobody has ever asked how im doing, how im feeling as a first time father, if i needed help. For 2 years ive been taking it out on my wife from time to time because shes the only one that cares but theres only so much she can do because shes also mildly autistic. I just realized last week that i was acting and seeing myself as someone who needs to be comforted, and thats the source of the problem, as when i see myself as a vulnerable being, i cant help but seek protection, and when that protection is not given, comes fight or flight. This is the sad reality we live in. As a man im not allowed to be vulnerable, im not allowed to be sentimental because nobody cares. Ironnically the way to combat all the problems as a male is to embrace male toxicity, because only when we dont see ourselves as vulnerable beings, when we dont expect love and care from others, we cant be hurt and fall into depression
I was lucky, my male role model was my father. Not a perfect person, but the best man I ever knew. I think many boys today don't have a father in their life. They don't how to be a man because there is no man in the household.
I fear that if this trend of men being ignored in this time of crisis goes on for another 10 years or more, I only see the majority of average men in the future eventually becoming so violent and filled with rage that they will lash out on the few top 1% of men seeing no other option then to eliminate the competition to be able to even have a chance at a normal life. It is an extremely dark road we are headed for.
Its not that serious. Most of these guys would rather off themselves than off someone else. You have to put into perspective. Even if those 1% guys are gone, the women still wont want them. This is less of a threat on them, but more a threat on society. Because society needs them to be productive in order to function.
I think a scenario according to Chris Williamson's "male sedation hypothesis" is much more realistic than an actual revolt of "angry young men". It will constitute a huge cost problem for society as a whole, but probably not an existential threat.
@@yurigansmith the problem with this theory is you and everyone who is saying it’s not possible are not “angry young men” so how can you say for certain that 10 years of not getting laid and treated like a slave to society won’t cause mass shootings, riots, and all out war. Lol 😂
Some things are spot on. Others, fly in the face of logic and reason. As a 30 yo male, I completely understand the trans position. I just think they should wait until their prefrontal cortex has finished developing. You don’t want to make permanent, life-altering decisions while your brain and emotions are in flux. His emotion is getting the best of him here.
Exactly and considering the suicide rates are already high as is w/ the trans community it’s probably best not to complicate things for a child, especially as he stated earlier in his talk, biological males tend to mentally mature slower than biological females.
Yes. He refers to the protective instinct. My protective instinct kicks in when someone is abusing a teenager by feeding them drugs and hormones and exposing them to disfiguring surgery. NO
@@dalewetzel3029 That was my first thought as well: I oppose the Trans issue (particularly for minors) BECAUSE I have a sense of protection. I think what they are doing is child abuse of the worst kind. Probably on par with sexual abuse of minors, maybe worse. Another point is: I also value TRUTH as a pillar that men should strive for. And I just don´t think it is true. To pretend that gender is only socially constructed, completely divorced from biological sex. Or that you can easily change you sex by chopping of some body parts and taking hormones. You are not changing your sex, you are just mutilating your body to look a certain way. Also, his argument of protecting despite you don´t understand is so awful. If you support something and take actions with potentially serious outcomes you should better be sure you know what you are doing.
He is a progressive and a feminist. What he says about andrew tate applies to him as well - he is coming from a good place and he gives alot of good advice but he goes off the rails when it comes to his politics. There is no accountability for his side and he fails to realize that they are dismantling institutions that took thousands of years to build.
Yeah, I'd put a boatload of nuance on that: You'll have a hard time protecting somebody from themselves if you don't understand them and their situation, since you'll have no idea where the damage is.
@@winterwulf1995 Well put, I completely agree. That doesn't change what it means to be masculine though: knowing your values, project them onto the world and be ready to suffer for it.
Everyone tells guys that they need to up their game...that they need to be at the top to be successful, to be noticed - but the top is a very small place. Only the best are there, and they push everyone else down - because space is limited. This has always been men's reality - only now it has become too obvious for them - and it hurts. That's why so many people give up on climbing towards the top. I found a comfortable place along the way... and that's enough for me.
The men in my family taught me what not to do by their careless, undisciplined behaviour. But that's better than not learning anything. I was blessed not to confuse dysfunction from functionally positive behavior.
Did he say that we're supposed to understand if a 15-year-old boy wants a sex change where just ten minutes earlier, he said their frontal lobes were not fully formed?
This guy is a walking contradiction. He made absolutely no sense. Then he told men to make money, give it to the woman and get out of her way. This guy is trying to sell books and coaching..
One of the biggest challenges I’ve noticed is “men vs women: who has it worse?” Is a stupid competition to have, but unfortunately a lot of women (understandably so) are frustrated seeing men complaining about men’s issues, because of all the hell most of them constantly go through. And then men (also understandably!) are frustrated when women say “men can’t have problems!!!” ….yeah, we absolutely do have problems I understand women wanting men to speak up and stand up for women, but women often say “it’s not our responsibility to rescue men.” And like in the one hand I get that, but at the very least, if a man is “whining” (I hate when people call it that 🤮), please please please do not “kick him when he is down.” If a woman can’t rescue him, that’s fine, but please don’t say “hahahaha you don’t have problems, and if you do, it’s the fault of men! Deal with it on your own!”
Most guys have the opposite problem in my experience, they refuse to acknowledge their problems, and therefore fail to take action to remediate. As any recovered addict knows, you can't heal as long as you do not have the courage to face your addiction. It all start with being humble rather than "fake strong", men who pretend to have it all together and it's only the women in his life who whines get nowhere else than losing their marriage, their kids, and even their friends. Read Gottman 7 rules for marriage
It’s so not a competition, you’re right. We need to strive to understand and have compassion for one another. Problems are relative. We all just want to be acknowledged and heard.
I truly appreciate this interview and various insights . As an approaching 56 year old male I admit - I do not grasp “TS”- at all. At all. And I am masculine , provider and protector. And how it is made sense to protect that “group”- made sense . And I have a step son who has transitioned- and “she” has never been able to express or explain to my wife or me - what is this all Yet, I can see how I can “accept” and my role… And I got through college and graduate school - bc I wanted access to females I was the same . Same motivation
As a woman who does not have a children, I am observing families, mothers, fathers, parenting,... The thing that does not feel right today, is that exaggerated role of a obsessive & devoted mother, that is formed in recent decades as a kind of cultural role model ... She and her kids ... As the highest possible love union, to the point like there was never ever a father, or any of his importance ... As much as there is a beauty and strength and devotion and sacrifice in being a mother, & in her expressing natural tendency to care for little human beings, this trend towards new matriarchy is a way to new imbalance in our society on many levels ... And for sure, in creating insecure young men ...
@@robertzabinski6083and yet, can you blame women when this is the standard that you’re supposed to live up to? It’s signing up for a life of depression. I feel for everyone today just trying to make it when we are so disconnected and divided.
It's such a misrepresentation to think matriarchy is the same but opposite extreme as patriarchy. That's not true matriarchy. Studies show actual matriarchal societies are co-working and inclusive, it's not viewing men as "lesser" the way patriarchy puts down women and femininity.
Well said Scott, clearly a significant problem - accountability in the context of having an internal structure in which the guy is accountable to himself, but he has no training on *How* to handle himself.
Thats what ppl need to learn from a young age. I didnt experience any favoritism from being a girl/ woman. Wish I did. It was quite the opposite. Even nice guys have a hard time telling me when they are not mentally well though I initiate the conversation because I notice when something is wrong.
Algebra of wealth is what schools are not teaching. Hardly any citizens understand how money works, and that is why laws and politics are enabling evisceration of most peoples economic basis.

@@joepeake8972 The UN/World Enslavement Forum are pretty "honest" about their intentions. They don't try to hide the fact that they want to micro rule the world nor do they hide the fact that they absolutely bitterly hate us and will use any means to achieve their vile agendas, including the use of bioweapons and the use of "directed evolution" to fulfil their fascist trans humanist agendas. Most of what this guy says is common knowledge and I doubt his sincerity. He hasn't given us any Achilles' heel that will allow us to bring the beast down ... just the same ol' same ol' that most of us have been aware of for many years now .. but were called derogatory names and censored. He is however certainly correct about the massive siphoning of monies from the public purse into the hands of the already uber wealthy .. but then he should know about that as he's a member of their vile club.

As a high school teacher I agree 100% with this interview. I see so many young fellas in all sorts who just need guidance. But yeah no way would I be a primary/elementary teacher 😂 hats off to those brave men
Real reason 90% of men are lost in life: low wages, high cost of living. Nowadays, you can work your ass off for years and never get closer to owning your own roof over your head, which is the most fundamental thing in life. If you can't be owner of the most fundamental part of your life, then what's the point of living?
If you vote for Trump, you will pay lower taxes and less on electricity and have more money to afford a house. If you vote for Biden , your tax money goes to illegal immigrants
All of the things Scott talks about in this video go back way farther than the recent high cost of living. Men have far more challenges than that. Did you even watch the video?
I'm glad Scott is sharing his nuanced and caring perspective in this conversation that often gets polarized. And I'm glad that he's out there trying to help young people, regardless of what's going on between their legs. The vacuum of positive, healthy mentors and role models for young people under the influence of testosterone can lead to some pretty awful sh*t. So, trying to outline healthy, societally beneficial masculinity seems worthwhile and challenging. Although "protecting, providing and procreating" all seem to be pretty universal human inclinations regardless of whatever reproductive organs a person has, but I get what he's saying. For me what also might be helpful is to study what are (in general) the irrefutable hormonal and biological byproducts of having whatever sex organs you might be born with, (especially for young people) and try to identify how to positively channel those behaviors in our culture. Until we collectively get better at that, if I had to pick my poison, I think I'd rather have young testosterone-influenced people like my kids err on the side of watching a little too much porn and being a bit more passive in romantic pursuit than buy into misogynist, narcissistic, objectifying rape culture. Of course, it isn't an "either/or" path, which is part of his point, but I think it's something worth bringing up.
This guy says a lot of truth. The thing I don't agree is the role of the protecter as a men. I have done my share of protecting ppl beeing assulted on the streets, got beaten up while doing so. Since they attack in groups of 4+ ppl. Even got stabbed once, trying to help. But if society rejects male in general and you get yelled at, when you hold a door open for a women, why should I risk my life for a stranger? Im at the point where I protect my famelly and frends, thats it.
I was just about to say this. You got me fucked up sideways if you think im getting stabbed by someone by sticking up for a stranger. Fuck that shit. Run.
Here is a good idea, DONT ever ever ever listen to an intellectual about dating they have no clue. Stop trying to work stuff out and just talk to plenty of women and use your instincts combined with some big balls - to any men out there STOP thinking over and over again what SHE wants. You will notice if you ever stop your constant overthinking that dumb asses who have 10 iq get WAY more women then the smart geeks out there
@@painunending4610 ??? waking up from what, dont be decent to other ppl? thats not male specific, plenty ppl dont trust others or wont stand up for strangers. not that its good,
Woman: "Men need to open up and be emotionally vulnerable." Man: "Well, sometimes I feel like... Woman: "Awww...did you whittle man-child fee-wings get a boo-boo? MAN UP, LOSER!!" Man: "Well, I guess I will see what Andrew Tate has to say."
I have enjoyed coaching my boys in sports as they grew up and many of the kids i coached as well respected me as male role model other than their dad in their lives. I encourage my kids to ask their friends dads who they respect questions if they don't like my reply. Grandparents can also fill this role sometimes. It is affecting young men a lot today.
At my last 3 companies, women were chosen to be the leaders (from supervisors to CEOs) simply because they are women. Had one rank tenth out of ten on the totem pole, get the job over the 9 men who put in for it.
One thing about accountability, is to stop looking at it as punitive and start looking at it as a responsibility. Through accountability one grows, learns and understands to be an adult or a Man. "Save our boys 👍😎👍"
I have considered myself pretty lucky. My dad wasn't always there for me because he was a workaholic trying to support the family. But I can empathize with many folks who feel they've underachieved in life. I definitely feel that for myself in my mid-thirties. I do count my blessings in life and appreciate everything that's come my way as they've helped build character. It won't be the same for most folks, so just know there's another stranger in your corner rooting for you to make it in life. I can't promise things will get easier but I can say there is light at the end of the tunnel if you can find it.
Self awareness and accountability. That is what is missing from childhood on. I disagree with Galloway on this subject but admire and agree with him and many others.
As you go through your research there is one big category you didn't mention that I believe you need to address-on-line betting and gambling. The companies and apps that support that industry are targeting young men...I believe it has the potential to be more dangerous than porn
Let them, we make a lot of money on that sh*t. Young college aged males have always been the demographic to historically take risks and come out better on the other side.
Have you noticed how all the popular movies and TV shows over the past few years have female heroes and female geniuses while the men are either the bad guys or bumbling and incompetent? It seems very common now in media.
Who’s having a difficult time talking about men’s issues? It’s to the contrary, women have been saying that men need to deal with their issues just keep our name out of their your mouths. This conversation is refreshing and need to go nationwide ❤
I would caution against intervening on a fight, especially on a subway, unless you know you can win, or you will inspire support from other passengers.
Agreed. Read "How to live safely in a dangerous world" by Geoff Thompson to know why this is terrible advice and why he cautions against it. The likelihood is that both were turn on you. Some people have that type of relationship.
I was in sports in school, army then fraternity and there is nothing like being around your boys and comrades when you're young. We mostly give that up for family which is goof but we should still have those places to be.
What do you mean by Real Men? What is a real Man? Please explain and elaborate with no generalizations. According to what or whom have you come to this concept. I'm interested.
@@benjierodriguez6518 Just because a Male is GROWN, does “NOT” Make Him a RealMan. A few things about a RealMan is He TAKES RESPONSIBILITY for EVERYTHING He SAYS, DOES, HAS and OWNS. ALSO He TAKES FULL RESPONSIBILITY for His MISTAKES. NO EXCUSES !
I blame the Catholic Church and MeToo for the lack of male role models, men are no longer trusted in those positions. And those good men who can take those positions are avoiding the target on their backs.
I really like this. I like when men are open, caring, creative etc. but I NEED them to be protectors, providers and to pursue (not in a predatory way).
The only thing I really disagree with is that men’s role is automatically protect essentially everyone, primarily my disagreement with his point about the trans community. As a man if you see someone unjustifiably being harmed without the ability to protect themselves, you should intervene but with caution. In regards to men transitioning into women, men aren’t naturally inclined to protect all men, our natural proclivity is to protect women, not men who cross dress or may be taking hormones. Furthermore, our protection extends beyond the physical to the mental or psychological. As men we are tasked with helping people from harming themselves or getting themselves into trouble. And just automatically affirming trans individuals and providing physical protection with no questions asked is NOT a masculine thing to do. At all.
Excellent video! More videos like this are needed, as are books such as Richard Reeves’ “Of Boys and Men” in those physical spaces still operating as bookstores!
I don't know how I got where I am in life. My grandmother used to call me "the child who rose from the ashes." My good friend once asked me, given my upbringing, how I'm even a functional adult. I never had a positive male role model. My father was a drug addict and a criminal. My mother divorced him when I was a baby and then immediately got with (and eventually married) and alcoholic who she allowed to abuse me horribly from as far back as I can remember until I left the house at 17. I'm talking physical injuries, not to mention the intense verbal and psychological abuse. I managed to graduate college and grad school (with degrees in psychology and mental health counseling), then had a complete mental breakdown and was diagnosed with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder. Luckily, I respond extremely well to antipsychotic medication. Today, I have a masters and a good job. I'm almost completely debt free (co-signed a small student loan for my brother). I have no relationship with my father, step father, or mother. I was married, but my ex-wife cheated on me so I divorced her. I'm lucky I have friends.
I think Galloway means well but he is really scared of the left and feminists. Any time he starts agreeing with men's issues too much, he will randomly throw out some progressive talking points about abortion rights or transgender issues.
A non-American comment here, he says men should be protective over trans people. But parents and doctors are subverting minors to gender-change operations. So, a logical conclusion is that men should protect them against parents and doctors, which translates they should protect them from their own ideology. That's tricky...
@@ChatGPT1111 You missed my point ChatGPT. No child should be allowed to do this until they reach adult hood. The brain doesn’t finish developing until 25.
Fr.. men would watch stop watching pron if women would stop making it and being 304’s, theres literally no incentive to being with a woman these days, due to the government and how society treats women way better for being degenerates and shits on men
So glad to have had totally different raw models as male protagonists . Grandpa, father, uncles, husband etc. were all galaxies above such a chaotic negativ data collector.
Why can’t we just call “a male role-model” “a father”? Many of our social problems will solve themselves if we can just start promoting fatherhood and male leadership.
I hear you…but try to think further than our society just doesn’t promote it. Men don’t have the right to demand a place in the mother of their child’s life, they don’t even get a say in whether the child is or isn’t terminated. Majority of custody goes to mothers (many reasons) and in the worst cases, fathers can be alienated from their children at no fault of their own. And yes, dead beats. I was raised by my father and grandmother…women can be deadbeats too. Male role models are simply that, a model of hopefully a moral and righteous man in society. There are many for the fatherless, filling the void for boys and girls. It’s just not so simple. Be well ✌🏾
You’re right a 19yr old or young adults in general should not have to pay for the sins of their father or grandfather or culture or heritage or whatever that’s screwed up… everyone goes “oh it’s responsibility” like it’s that simple

So smart...yet so stupid...
I was horrified to listen to this talk that man Scott Galloway after I listen to him speak I understood just like in the book concerning violence. It is the white man. It is the white slave master, who believes that his story in his way is always the right way, this man should never speak on the Middle East that would be like China deciding how America should live shame on him. This is a horrible disgusting person. He is a white colonialist.
He is right about being paternal. I work in the trades and started noticing the young guys following me around the shop or the grounds. It took a few years to realize this 18 19 20 year old dudes were desperate for some guidance, for an older man to take interest in them. Now when I hire these young guys I realize I am not just a boss, I am a big brother.
I had this in my reserve unit. I chastised this young 18 year old about his finances and personal decisions, which to my surprised caused him to reach out to me for guidance. We eventfully got him to understand how to budget his money, refinance his car, and move out on his own. But his personal life -- relationship decisions really annoyed me -- as he thought the Plan B pills are an acceptable for of birth control. I tried and tried to get this line of thinking out of his head to no avail. I shunned him and left the reserves and never reached out.
I wish I hadn't done that. He has no men in his life, no adult man to get him to think, and understand the difference between reacting and responding and how decisions he makes even if not directly related to him in this very moment, will come back to haunt him. I wish I hadn't done that. So, my advice to you, and keep big brothering them, even if they act like knuckle heads because eventually you'll breakthrough and the lessons will stick.
Bless you for influencing young men in positive ways.
❤❤
This I was so lost and in mid 20s just wanted some guidance. Mainly in my career but also like you said mentors become family more than anything.
Thank you so much for understanding the task, sir.
What he says about boys not having male role models is 100% true. It’s like the entire school system made a pact to uplift and encourage the girls, while ignoring the boys. I’ve never had a mentor, teacher, counselor, no one who ever took me under their wing and gave me some good advice. For most guys, the heroes we saw in sports and movies were who we strived to be like. I’m now in my 40s, doing okay for myself, but definitely under-achieving. I was a decently smart kid back in my school days, but, where were the real-life role models that could’ve helped steer me in the right direction?? It’s a travesty, smh.
@@derek4412wow super interesting! .
I agree with everything you say about the boys not having that in the schools are not having role models. But you say that as if the girls had that. We didn’t. We had to work very hard to find our place in the school system. Education was not given to women. Women had to take education in their own hands and fight against a system that didn’t want to educate them. This is a problem for both males and females and as long as we keep talking about it as if the males don’t have it then we are going to keep them divided.
@@danzwithizabel1175 I disagree. I’ve had this discussion with my sisters as well as female friends, and they actually agree with me. They can rattle off this mentor, or this professor who helped them along the way, and for them to hear that so many guys like myself were ignored throughout school blew their minds, they had no idea! So, now that so many women today are successful and wondering why so many men have fallen behind, look no farther than the school system. I’m not sure how old you are, but, it sounds like you may be speaking of previous generations of students. Presently, there is an obvious difference in the time and investment given to girls versus boys in the school system, so much so, that college enrollment for boys are at an all-time low. To deny that there is a gender bias within the school system is just (with all due respect) plain ridiculous.
They have idiots like Rogan, Tate and Peterson unfortunately
Boomer here. No role models Made my own way. I'm fine thanks 😊
100% agree. My father confessed to me that he met his role model, his mentor at the army. Growing up in a large family and working parents, my father started acting up at school, his parents had no time to understand why he was acting up and shipped him to the army. There, he met a man, black man like him who told him he could be someone, that he was a talented mechanic, showed him how to avoid conflict and sometimes out of respect turn the other cheek. Thanks to this man, my dad found his passion and profession. He has his own business, 50 years in and going. To give back, my dad takes troubled young men as apprentices. Some stay, some leave and come back. The door is always open. The army has given so much to him, I can see the difference between his critical thinking and that of my uncles who didn't enlist. I really think it should be mandatory like in Greece.
From WW2 onto the end of the Cold War the Army helped to make boys into disciplined men. We should at least increase the number of Recruits to 500,000 yearly.
"We've decided, when it comes to men, that compassion is a zero sum game. And that if you feel bad for men, it immediately out you as someone that could be anti-women."
DUDE, PREACH !!!
What if there were groups for guys that might revolve around sports or fitness, but included a lot of mentoring? And perhaps getting this type of thing monetized?
@@reginasemenenko148 That would be nice.
But the monetization part tends to corrupt things in my experience.
@@laStar972chuck I know. I just don't know how you could attract all the help that would be needed. I think you are on to something that could be really helpful.
Worse, I think it's a negative-sum game. People actively care less about issues that effect both men and women once they're aware that men are suffering in some way. Most people simply deny it or blame men, even when they are the disproportionate sufferers for many issues.
@@reginasemenenko148thats called a coach lol
I got my ideas about masculinity from my dad, who rarely tells me how he feels but is always showing me and others by going out of his way to help them.
My Dad was the same; consequently I judge people based on actions, not just words (words are cheap)
I was a boomer, so all of our dads had grown up in the Depression, and then went off to fight WW-2. Talk about tough, masculine, men. They were surprisingly gentle and humorous despite their screaming nightmares. --Old Guy
My dad was the same way.He once told me that he modeled his life on his father,s family who military men, petty court officials,landholders and artisans.
That's me to a T and many women don't want that, they want feelings and emotions yet they also want you to be hyper masculine which those two often conflict. Some even want you to love bomb them which is unhealthy.
@@Ed-ig7fj Yes, better a warrior in a garden then a gardener in a war. The world and women wanted gardners and are surprised that that can't deal with life.
I was a high school English teacher in a low income area of NC. I had a group of young boys who were in my classroom before/after school and in between classes. They were like glue - being around me whenever they could. Part of that may have been that I was young and fun - but I know for sure that all of those guys lacked male role models. It's a problem that has serious real-world consequences. Boys need good male role models.
We killed Boy Scouts because of gay rights activists.
I grew up in a family as the only boy with 3 sisters and my mother of course. My father was more or less present and didn’t like me so much, he was hitting me physically from time to time. My parents divorced when I was 15. My father and I didn’t see eye to eye so I left home at 18. I was surrounded by my 3 sisters who gave birth to 6 girls (my nieces), not a single boy in the family besides me. When there is a family reunion, I’m surrounded with 10 women (mother, 3 sisters and 6 nieces)! Needless to say that I am the black sheep in the group, they ignore me totally like they have always done. I avoid those family reunions now, I don’t attend them. I went on to succeed the most compared with my siblings, graduated from university, had a great career in commercial real estate, married a great wife and we live in a very upscale neighbourhood. The message is take control of your life, don’t give a f_ck about people who ignore you and be strong.
Every time Galloway opens his mouth he says something challenging and thoughtful and pretty brilliant. This guy really has a handle on where relationships are at and where men are at right now.
And sadly nothing is gonna change it to make it better in the major
i dont find anything new here. If anything, Galloway has to censror himself a lot, due to being more mainstream, which i find a bit infuriating.
Does he do anything other than talk and write books?
I feel like it's the older men who need to be paying attention to his words. My FIL died when my husband was 3. The father of his best friend from kindergarten on stepped into that role and it made a huge difference. His brother didn't have a man to step up for him. Their lives were drastically different in the forms of personal relationships, education, financial success, class of friends, longevity of relationships with both men and women in their lives, etc. It was very stark.
He knows how to sell books.
I left teaching because of the "creep" factor. You hardly make enough to live on, so women don't want to date you. You're constantly being watched because no one can believe you'd devote your time altruistically. If you spend too much time with a particular student ( because they're the only one who is listening to you) you get accused of favortism. Ulimately, there are too many downsides, so when I stopped teaching and went into IT, it all turned around. I spend most of my time alone, but the peace is irresistible.
And the paycheck must be better, too. It's almost like the educational system is designed to break you. smh
Modern education is a scam and it's total trash
Made to serve a by gone era of the old industrial world order
Women don’t date you because you are a teacher and make no money! lol that’s not true guys who are broke are always dating you need to look at yourself and find out why you can’t date a woman. Dating is easy but you need to master being comfortable talking to women. If you don’t you will be lonely most of the time
@@BeYourself-jk5xoppl who are not well adjusted always blame it on the others. I have my bad days and want to isolate from ppl. Its me not them. Some ppl just accept how the world is and survive it and I cant always do that.
Yes according to society, the sole value of men is the value of their bank account.
I just stopped caring about what others think of me, made life much more fulfilling.
My view of masculinity is : thoughtfull, wise, rational, objective, expressive
View of Females: Privileged beyond belief, and still claiming to be Victims,

I'd say that technology, trends and ease of access is the main reason behind, but also the trends of influencers and celebrities. In 70's for example you would got all the music, sports and activism to meet people, get together and find a proper roll models because celebrities were vocal about social injustice. Today kids have everything within a reach of their phones where they get influenced by people who are constantly looking for sponsors. Today we live in a society where most celebrities and influencers would sell anything for money, including themselves. That leaves so many young people attached to narcistic people who only care about their image in media, without doing much to protect, provide and serve those who need attention and help the most.
You've madae such a sharp & critical point!!! Thanks.
In absence of fundamentals like male role model boys turn to anything that is currently accessible and accepted such as technology, laziness, drugs and estrogen like attitudes. 😢
Narcissistic

The number three item "look after yourself" I believe should be number one. You cannot look after others until you can look after yourself first.
Very true. 🫡
That's been my motto throughout my adult life. I've got to take care of myself first so I can take care of others: family, friends, colleagues, community, etc. My ex wife kept accusing me of being selfish...that's one of the reason we're ex !
You can't pour from an empty cup.
were you unaware of this simple idea before? ??
@@karineaghajanyan It was simply pointed out that it should be number 1 not number 3. And I agree. Hey that rhymes...
The issue I see amongst some men and voices online respond to that question of be a protector is…”well what’s in it for me? Why do I need to sacrifice my life for a society that hasn’t done anything for me in return “. I don’t know how big of an issue this is but if things continue the way they.
exactly, what reason do men have to serve a society that openly hates them?
Literal this. Men are waking up and people like Galloway want to put them to sleep
This guy is so weak I am amazed he thinks he’s an expert on it. I’m so bored of social intellectual people who alll they do is read books and study - that is NOT masculine . The guys getting action are the OPPOSITE of that lol

@@ree4214 , then go ahead and be the one to put your life on the line for a stable society that couldn't be there for you prior.
Great presentation. Nailed it on the head on every point IMHO. I'm 68 yrs old. Had a successful career and 3 boys who are now successful men. I must admit that growing up today is much more challenging than back in the 60s, 70s, even 80s. Just too much distraction and rapid changes. I'll try to help bring my very young grandson along the proper masculine path...as I did with his dad.
This guy is so well spoken
Even when there is a father in the home working full time and a mother working full time (which there basically is no choice) workers have barely any vacation time to spend with their kids. Hard to be a good model when your burnt out all the time! Europeans get 5 weeks off when they start a job. We are lucky to get one. Time to advocate for our workers.
So right !!
Even if we get vacation with kids, marriages are breaking off for the very same reason as in USA : half of the population was psychologically damaged by immature parents and can not get along with each other. Men blame women, women blame men, but this does not do the hard work of looking at your broken heart, acknowledge that mom and dad were far from perfect, having the courage to put YOUR own shit together, and maybe getting enough empathy to be able to truly love someone.
Having lived in the US and Europe, I found in the US people live to work but Europeans work to live. The US is a wealthier country, but Europeans tend to prioritise quality of life, rather than amassing wealth and buying status. Simple example, when I worked in the US, I drove a beat up (but well maintained) old car while one of my peers bought a new Audi A4; I got endless crap from people about being a cheapskate but after a few years I had a house deposit while my peer had a depreciated car. I bought a modest house and now I'm nearly mortgage free so I can focus on saving money to pay for my kids education (school, sports and skills) which makes me happier than a shiny car ever would. Work to live, don't live to work
As a European who makes 2.2k $ a month working 60 hours a week. I can tell you that I can only get half the money that I make a month. We have a minimal amount of 20 "work days (not a normal days but a day between Mondays and Fridays + you can use also Sunday and Saturday for a rest)" bur all of this comes on a big cost. You let atlleas half of yours salary for taxes and insurance. For a young man USA is better becouse if I had this energy that I have between 18-35 to work in USA I would get better standard of living and I will earn more. EU is cool for older people and probably young people with kids but for young people is a nightmare. You pay the bill for the others, and I tell you this by the prespective of and east European with very communistic and solidarity mindset.
@@k0pera yeah, Europe is dystopian. I grew up poor and worked my way to making 6 figures in my late twenties in the USA, which is almost impossible in Europe. I wish we could ship all our liberals to Europe.
100% agree we are in urgent need of that book to redefine masculinity in a positive, realistic but progressive way
As I've gotten older, I have found that it's quite rewarding to help steward young men into becoming better versions of themselves in whatever method I can help them. People did it for me as a teen and it was tremendously beneficial. We owe it to the next generation to continue the trend. Scott nailed with one of my favorite quotes. "A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit."
The moment that we accepted the outlandish idea that fathers are irrelevant, we placed that last nail on our collective coffin as a society.
Exactly 💯
When a father decides to abandoned his kids, he is doing this, my friend.
@@missfaztudo9312 A father who willingly abandons his kids is no longer a father.
sure
Seeing Fathers as irrelevant is grounded in the Post WW period, where fathers just werent there and after that lost the connection to their families. Just being the financial supporter was an image, that grew out of necessity.
Lead with strength, governed by empathy.
There is no shame to be a man. Stand tall for yourself.
@josiah_jacksonwhy would someone feel shame for being born something? It makes no fucking sense
@@bensheard3969 Who's saying that?
Porn and weed are just bad for young men, I was also part of it.
@josiah_jackson in what logical way does it make sense to respond to a comment about being proud and confident as a man with some men have no shame. It's so obviously a sassy comeback that in some way involves your personal life and contributes nothing to the conversation
@josiah_jackson using obscure words doesn't make you sound smarter it makes people think you care a lot about people viewing you as smart which is objectively worse than just having a below average IQ. What I interpreted them as saying is that you shouldn't feed into the Kool aid belief that it's shameful to be a man and that you can be inherently toxic like many Torah want you to believe
This is the type of direct and to the point discussion that needs to hit the road! SO much of this resonates with the reality of my 13 year old son's life and what I run into in the business world while I visit the US. Men will no longer get on an elevator alone with a younger woman, I get comments and looked at from women some times because I am not only masculine I revel in it. Why do they look at me...? Society has taught them that men are predators and they should be more like women. I will pause here but Scott thank you again for being out there and for being so direct with your message!
i think an important thing to consider is that in the past, the great inventors, sports figures, astronauts, businessmen, artists, but also ofc actors were THE role models, and in many films certain actors would embody this healthy masculinity, or at least with positive attributes. Nowadays, the biggest role models are influencers, many also young or without much education tbh, but more importantly they are not the great entrepreneurs or innovators of the past, they're not groundbreaking artists, no longer are the role models for young men people who achieve great things. I mean what you have one or two famous rich ppl like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, but u look at any alpha male influencer video and its these sort of unachieving youtubers or twitch streamers who are presented as role models of excellence. However problematic past role models could be, they were better than this.
Marriage and love require and demand strength and it takes work and courage to grow up. It’s the power to endure emotional pain, to sacrifice for a loved one to openly communicate. Mature relationships only come from those qualities and a desire to support each other long past the stage of physical looks and expectations of perfection.
Beautifully stated ❤
Many men in my generation (born in the 80s) prefer the instant gratification of video games to the hard work of building a business or a homestead, and then wonder why they can't attract / retain a partner. Most women want a man who can be a good father and that means taking care of her when she is disabled by pregnancy / breatsfeeding, not a man-child game partner. But there are exception, I have a couple of friends who are both 50 and grossly out of shape, both are childless and addicted gamers: they chose not to have kids despite a 20 year long marriage so they could play in their freetime.
Mental health counseling is very important as is a reading the great philosophers of all ages.
I never had a male role model who offered me a complete picture of the best facets of behavior but with the above help I was able to
Integrate into my own life the best of what I saw from the men within my life. No one is perfect but it’s vital to strive to be a better person. That’s how civilization gets better.
It just gets exhausting reading and watching over and over again the negativity that is used to describe masculinity in the West today. I can't help but find it harder and harder to find examples of positive masculinity to hold as a goal and to aspire to, in education, media etc
Agreed. Personally I find Bedros Keiulian is a massive help in this way. A great man
Me too. I really struggle as a young man to find a-role model i like and wanna be
Or become the role model you wish you had? For yourself and for others.
@@CMS_10 it's hard to know exactly what that role model should be when I find constant critiquing of masculinity causes a lot of self doubt within myself
@@johnnygillingpart of being masculine is saying fck u to society’s bs - good starting point if you ask me
Even if a boy has a positive role model (aka as a Dad of boys I can vouch for) they can still struggle. I have noticed if boys are not athletic or academic, they can easily be left behind in school.
Some of the greatest men I know, didn't have good male role models growing up... some did. It's a compound problem. Sadly, a perfect storm.
@@CMS_10 we all know why! They cut out physical subjects in schools like woodwork, electricity
Men need to build things to feel validated and do good work that no one will question
school today is largely day care and a poor waste of youths time
Really? So boys can have great fathers, uncles, grandfathers, male teachers, male coaches, and male role models on TV, yet still struggles. Huh. Makes no sense what so ever.
Men are discriminated against in higher education. A few years ago I applied for a Respiratory therapist program at a college after meeting all the criteria. I worked in the government, I was an EMT, I had worked at a hospital at the time and had been in healthcare for 6 years, I had excellent grades and grants too. When I went to the interview the Female interviewer said this program wasn't for every body and gave such condensing tones and even called me "dude" this grown 40 year old woman telling a 28 year old man he was a dude. I then talked to a lady who interviewed next after me who had worked as a CNA for 2 months and told me she got the spot in the program even after she said she had no idea what she was doing. Granted she was a nice lady but the discrimination was very apparent.
If you ever want to see what female on male discrimination looks like, work in the hospital field. If you aren't a doctor you are essentially at the bottom of the pyramid. There truly is a class system.
I've heard more than once that the medical field and hospitals are essntially glorified harems for male doctors.

Being a provider can mean providing full support for women making more money, making it possible for her to reach her full potential. My female doctor has a "house husband" who manages the entire family, kids, finances, housework, errands, cooking (a great chef), shopping, social arrangements, etc. so she can meet the overwhelming demands of taking care of other people and still have work/life balance.
You're a clown
Her husband is a true example of a great guy who has self esteem and self confidence to be the house husband...a show of true masculinity
@@DEBrown1971 indeed. I'd be happy with a man who simply voluteers to do his share of life after work, you know, the bare minimum of fairness.
I think one of the most important traits of masculinity is emotional maturity/control. Men can be dangerous, and should be. But they need to be in control of all of their actions and emotions because of that.
This is a great way to get this information through. I’ve done exactly what he said in the past when I’d hear others cover the male crisis. They’d always come with women hate speech first. I couldn’t hear the really message. Men failed men and women were busy taking care of her own struggle.
As a male therapist that works with kids, I appreciate the last two minutes. Totally agree.
As a mom of two sons and a school counselor for 30 years ….. Galloway you are right on !!! Keep on speaking up for our young men !!!
Thank you so much for shining a light on this and opening up the conversation. Healing this is vital for healthy society and a future living Earth.
Ive been battling depression for 2.5 years since my daughter's birth, because we had 0 help from our parents, with my parents being on the other side of the planet, and my in-laws saying they would help but then decided not to.
I was starving for guidance, support and validation, nobody has ever asked how im doing, how im feeling as a first time father, if i needed help. For 2 years ive been taking it out on my wife from time to time because shes the only one that cares but theres only so much she can do because shes also mildly autistic.
I just realized last week that i was acting and seeing myself as someone who needs to be comforted, and thats the source of the problem, as when i see myself as a vulnerable being, i cant help but seek protection, and when that protection is not given, comes fight or flight.
This is the sad reality we live in. As a man im not allowed to be vulnerable, im not allowed to be sentimental because nobody cares.
Ironnically the way to combat all the problems as a male is to embrace male toxicity, because only when we dont see ourselves as vulnerable beings, when we dont expect love and care from others, we cant be hurt and fall into depression
I was lucky, my male role model was my father. Not a perfect person, but the best man I ever knew. I think many boys today don't have a father in their life. They don't how to be a man because there is no man in the household.
I fear that if this trend of men being ignored in this time of crisis goes on for another 10 years or more, I only see the majority of average men in the future eventually becoming so violent and filled with rage that they will lash out on the few top 1% of men seeing no other option then to eliminate the competition to be able to even have a chance at a normal life. It is an extremely dark road we are headed for.
Nah
Its not that serious. Most of these guys would rather off themselves than off someone else. You have to put into perspective. Even if those 1% guys are gone, the women still wont want them.
This is less of a threat on them, but more a threat on society. Because society needs them to be productive in order to function.
true damn…
I think a scenario according to Chris Williamson's "male sedation hypothesis" is much more realistic than an actual revolt of "angry young men". It will constitute a huge cost problem for society as a whole, but probably not an existential threat.
@@yurigansmith the problem with this theory is you and everyone who is saying it’s not possible are not “angry young men” so how can you say for certain that 10 years of not getting laid and treated like a slave to society won’t cause mass shootings, riots, and all out war. Lol 😂
Some things are spot on. Others, fly in the face of logic and reason. As a 30 yo male, I completely understand the trans position. I just think they should wait until their prefrontal cortex has finished developing. You don’t want to make permanent, life-altering decisions while your brain and emotions are in flux. His emotion is getting the best of him here.
Exactly and considering the suicide rates are already high as is w/ the trans community it’s probably best not to complicate things for a child, especially as he stated earlier in his talk, biological males tend to mentally mature slower than biological females.
It’s not a man’s job to protect trans people.
Yes. He refers to the protective instinct. My protective instinct kicks in when someone is abusing a teenager by feeding them drugs and hormones and exposing them to disfiguring surgery. NO
@@dalewetzel3029 That was my first thought as well: I oppose the Trans issue (particularly for minors) BECAUSE I have a sense of protection. I think what they are doing is child abuse of the worst kind. Probably on par with sexual abuse of minors, maybe worse. Another point is: I also value TRUTH as a pillar that men should strive for. And I just don´t think it is true. To pretend that gender is only socially constructed, completely divorced from biological sex. Or that you can easily change you sex by chopping of some body parts and taking hormones. You are not changing your sex, you are just mutilating your body to look a certain way.
Also, his argument of protecting despite you don´t understand is so awful. If you support something and take actions with potentially serious outcomes you should better be sure you know what you are doing.
He is a progressive and a feminist. What he says about andrew tate applies to him as well - he is coming from a good place and he gives alot of good advice but he goes off the rails when it comes to his politics. There is no accountability for his side and he fails to realize that they are dismantling institutions that took thousands of years to build.
"You don't have to understand something to be a protector" should resonate with every man everywhere.
it has! I've been feeling it but i didnt have the words.
Yeah, I'd put a boatload of nuance on that:
You'll have a hard time protecting somebody from themselves if you don't understand them and their situation, since you'll have no idea where the damage is.
Protect yourself first.
@@UnrealTransformer Sry, that sounds feminine. Men protect their values first and care about the consequences to themselves only after that.
@@winterwulf1995 Well put, I completely agree.
That doesn't change what it means to be masculine though:
knowing your values, project them onto the world and be ready to suffer for it.
Everyone tells guys that they need to up their game...that they need to be at the top to be successful, to be noticed - but the top is a very small place. Only the best are there, and they push everyone else down - because space is limited. This has always been men's reality - only now it has become too obvious for them - and it hurts. That's why so many people give up on climbing towards the top. I found a comfortable place along the way... and that's enough for me.
The part when he describes what is wrong on the right and left visions of modern masculinity it's just perfect. 6:09
The men in my family taught me what not to do by their careless, undisciplined behaviour. But that's better than not learning anything. I was blessed not to confuse dysfunction from functionally positive behavior.
I volunteered to be a big brother when i was in my 20s. It was great experience and made me a better father when I had my own kids.
Did he say that we're supposed to understand if a 15-year-old boy wants a sex change where just ten minutes earlier, he said their frontal lobes were not fully formed?
Careful, friend. You may end up shattering the veneer of this controlled opp...

This guy is a walking contradiction. He made absolutely no sense. Then he told men to make money, give it to the woman and get out of her way. This guy is trying to sell books and coaching..
Be accountable where you can, not for anyone else's mistakes but your own. But young men (boys) need guidance (to be raised) too.
One of the biggest challenges I’ve noticed is “men vs women: who has it worse?” Is a stupid competition to have, but unfortunately a lot of women (understandably so) are frustrated seeing men complaining about men’s issues, because of all the hell most of them constantly go through. And then men (also understandably!) are frustrated when women say “men can’t have problems!!!” ….yeah, we absolutely do have problems
I understand women wanting men to speak up and stand up for women, but women often say “it’s not our responsibility to rescue men.” And like in the one hand I get that, but at the very least, if a man is “whining” (I hate when people call it that 🤮), please please please do not “kick him when he is down.” If a woman can’t rescue him, that’s fine, but please don’t say “hahahaha you don’t have problems, and if you do, it’s the fault of men! Deal with it on your own!”
Most guys have the opposite problem in my experience, they refuse to acknowledge their problems, and therefore fail to take action to remediate. As any recovered addict knows, you can't heal as long as you do not have the courage to face your addiction. It all start with being humble rather than "fake strong", men who pretend to have it all together and it's only the women in his life who whines get nowhere else than losing their marriage, their kids, and even their friends.

It’s so not a competition, you’re right. We need to strive to understand and have compassion for one another.
Problems are relative. We all just want to be acknowledged and heard.
We need more intelligent respectful conversations like this
I truly appreciate this interview and various insights . As an approaching 56 year old male I admit - I do not grasp “TS”- at all. At all.
And I am masculine , provider and protector.
And how it is made sense to protect that “group”- made sense .
And I have a step son who has transitioned- and “she” has never been able to express or explain to my wife or me - what is this all
Yet, I can see how I can “accept” and my role…
And I got through college and graduate school - bc I wanted access to females
I was the same . Same motivation
We grow up to find out our role models are very flawed.
Sounds like they're human.
As a woman who does not have a children, I am observing families, mothers, fathers, parenting,... The thing that does not feel right today, is that exaggerated role of a obsessive & devoted mother, that is formed in recent decades as a kind of cultural role model ... She and her kids ... As the highest possible love union, to the point like there was never ever a father, or any of his importance ... As much as there is a beauty and strength and devotion and sacrifice in being a mother, & in her expressing natural tendency to care for little human beings, this trend towards new matriarchy is a way to new imbalance in our society on many levels ... And for sure, in creating insecure young men ...

@@robertzabinski6083and yet, can you blame women when this is the standard that you’re supposed to live up to? It’s signing up for a life of depression. I feel for everyone today just trying to make it when we are so disconnected and divided.
It's such a misrepresentation to think matriarchy is the same but opposite extreme as patriarchy. That's not true matriarchy. Studies show actual matriarchal societies are co-working and inclusive, it's not viewing men as "lesser" the way patriarchy puts down women and femininity.
@@LaurenMilla We don't need patriarchy no matriarchy, we need free human beings, who has developed and balanced their inner female & male sides*
Well said Scott, clearly a significant problem - accountability in the context of having an internal structure in which the guy is accountable to himself, but he has no training on *How* to handle himself.
Thats what ppl need to learn from a young age. I didnt experience any favoritism from being a girl/ woman. Wish I did. It was quite the opposite. Even nice guys have a hard time telling me when they are not mentally well though I initiate the conversation because I notice when something is wrong.
Algebra of wealth is what schools are not teaching. Hardly any citizens understand how money works, and that is why laws and politics are enabling evisceration of most peoples economic basis.

Yes, he's made his money in the system and is now in a comfortable enough position to criticise it without hurting his own chances. He's admitted on tv interviews that our society is rigged in favour of people like him. I wish all our elites were this honest.
@@joepeake8972 The UN/World Enslavement Forum are pretty "honest" about their intentions. They don't try to hide the fact that they want to micro rule the world nor do they hide the fact that they absolutely bitterly hate us and will use any means to achieve their vile agendas, including the use of bioweapons and the use of "directed evolution" to fulfil their fascist trans humanist agendas. Most of what this guy says is common knowledge and I doubt his sincerity. He hasn't given us any Achilles' heel that will allow us to bring the beast down ... just the same ol' same ol' that most of us have been aware of for many years now .. but were called derogatory names and censored. He is however certainly correct about the massive siphoning of monies from the public purse into the hands of the already uber wealthy .. but then he should know about that as he's a member of their vile club.

As a high school teacher I agree 100% with this interview. I see so many young fellas in all sorts who just need guidance. But yeah no way would I be a primary/elementary teacher 😂 hats off to those brave men
Real reason 90% of men are lost in life: low wages, high cost of living.
Nowadays, you can work your ass off for years and never get closer to owning your own roof over your head, which is the most fundamental thing in life.
If you can't be owner of the most fundamental part of your life, then what's the point of living?
If you vote for Trump, you will pay lower taxes and less on electricity and have more money to afford a house. If you vote for Biden , your tax money goes to illegal immigrants
All of the things Scott talks about in this video go back way farther than the recent high cost of living. Men have far more challenges than that. Did you even watch the video?

Yes the wages they offer adult men is downright degrading.
I'm glad Scott is sharing his nuanced and caring perspective in this conversation that often gets polarized. And I'm glad that he's out there trying to help young people, regardless of what's going on between their legs. The vacuum of positive, healthy mentors and role models for young people under the influence of testosterone can lead to some pretty awful sh*t. So, trying to outline healthy, societally beneficial masculinity seems worthwhile and challenging. Although "protecting, providing and procreating" all seem to be pretty universal human inclinations regardless of whatever reproductive organs a person has, but I get what he's saying. For me what also might be helpful is to study what are (in general) the irrefutable hormonal and biological byproducts of having whatever sex organs you might be born with, (especially for young people) and try to identify how to positively channel those behaviors in our culture. Until we collectively get better at that, if I had to pick my poison, I think I'd rather have young testosterone-influenced people like my kids err on the side of watching a little too much porn and being a bit more passive in romantic pursuit than buy into misogynist, narcissistic, objectifying rape culture. Of course, it isn't an "either/or" path, which is part of his point, but I think it's something worth bringing up.
This guy says a lot of truth. The thing I don't agree is the role of the protecter as a men. I have done my share of protecting ppl beeing assulted on the streets, got beaten up while doing so. Since they attack in groups of 4+ ppl. Even got stabbed once, trying to help. But if society rejects male in general and you get yelled at, when you hold a door open for a women, why should I risk my life for a stranger? Im at the point where I protect my famelly and frends, thats it.
I was just about to say this. You got me fucked up sideways if you think im getting stabbed by someone by sticking up for a stranger. Fuck that shit. Run.
Not to mention if you do end up saving someone from an attack, you will very likely end up being vilified by the exact people you saved.
YES! Men are waking up!
Here is a good idea, DONT ever ever ever listen to an intellectual about dating they have no clue. Stop trying to work stuff out and just talk to plenty of women and use your instincts combined with some big balls - to any men out there STOP thinking over and over again what SHE wants. You will notice if you ever stop your constant overthinking that dumb asses who have 10 iq get WAY more women then the smart geeks out there
@@painunending4610 ??? waking up from what, dont be decent to other ppl? thats not male specific, plenty ppl dont trust others or wont stand up for strangers. not that its good,
Excellent conversation on today’s young men struggles. I really enjoyed professor Galloway’s ideas … congratulations for your channel!
Woman: "Men need to open up and be emotionally vulnerable."
Man: "Well, sometimes I feel like...
Woman: "Awww...did you whittle man-child fee-wings get a boo-boo? MAN UP, LOSER!!"
Man: "Well, I guess I will see what Andrew Tate has to say."
Yep, as funny as it is, that sums it up.
Unfortunately, that’s how things tend to play out.
Little boys are raised as defective girls in the school system but once adult, they still have the burden of performance cuz hypergamy does not care.
In a patriarchal society, if women used your rationale, women would be the most suicidal demographic... not men.
Women today have created men like Andrew Tate.
I have enjoyed coaching my boys in sports as they grew up and many of the kids i coached as well respected me as male role model other than their dad in their lives. I encourage my kids to ask their friends dads who they respect questions if they don't like my reply. Grandparents can also fill this role sometimes. It is affecting young men a lot today.

Men have a harder time with authority.
Great conversation. Very informative.
One thing about accountability, is to stop looking at it as punitive and start looking at it as a responsibility. Through accountability one grows, learns and understands to be an adult or a Man. "Save our boys 👍😎👍"
I have considered myself pretty lucky. My dad wasn't always there for me because he was a workaholic trying to support the family. But I can empathize with many folks who feel they've underachieved in life. I definitely feel that for myself in my mid-thirties. I do count my blessings in life and appreciate everything that's come my way as they've helped build character. It won't be the same for most folks, so just know there's another stranger in your corner rooting for you to make it in life. I can't promise things will get easier but I can say there is light at the end of the tunnel if you can find it.
The biggest attractive characteristics of masculinity that would group in it all is courage, something missing completely in our society
Self awareness and accountability. That is what is missing from childhood on. I disagree with Galloway on this subject but admire and agree with him and many others.
As you go through your research there is one big category you didn't mention that I believe you need to address-on-line betting and gambling. The companies and apps that support that industry are targeting young men...I believe it has the potential to be more dangerous than porn
Let them, we make a lot of money on that sh*t. Young college aged males have always been the demographic to historically take risks and come out better on the other side.
Well done. This PODCAST hit a raw nerve.
Have you noticed how all the popular movies and TV shows over the past few years have female heroes and female geniuses while the men are either the bad guys or bumbling and incompetent? It seems very common now in media.
Who’s having a difficult time talking about men’s issues? It’s to the contrary, women have been saying that men need to deal with their issues just keep our name out of their your mouths. This conversation is refreshing and need to go nationwide ❤
I would caution against intervening on a fight, especially on a subway, unless you know you can win, or you will inspire support from other passengers.
Agreed. Read "How to live safely in a dangerous world" by Geoff Thompson to know why this is terrible advice and why he cautions against it. The likelihood is that both were turn on you. Some people have that type of relationship.
I was in sports in school, army then fraternity and there is nothing like being around your boys and comrades when you're young. We mostly give that up for family which is goof but we should still have those places to be.

This prof is my new hero
I blame the Catholic Church and MeToo for the lack of male role models, men are no longer trusted in those positions. And those good men who can take those positions are avoiding the target on their backs.
I really like this. I like when men are open, caring, creative etc. but I NEED them to be protectors, providers and to pursue (not in a predatory way).
The only thing I really disagree with is that men’s role is automatically protect essentially everyone, primarily my disagreement with his point about the trans community. As a man if you see someone unjustifiably being harmed without the ability to protect themselves, you should intervene but with caution. In regards to men transitioning into women, men aren’t naturally inclined to protect all men, our natural proclivity is to protect women, not men who cross dress or may be taking hormones. Furthermore, our protection extends beyond the physical to the mental or psychological. As men we are tasked with helping people from harming themselves or getting themselves into trouble. And just automatically affirming trans individuals and providing physical protection with no questions asked is NOT a masculine thing to do. At all.
Excellent video! More videos like this are needed, as are books such as Richard Reeves’ “Of Boys and Men” in those physical spaces still operating as bookstores!

Direct explanation of a manhood 💪
I don't know how I got where I am in life. My grandmother used to call me "the child who rose from the ashes." My good friend once asked me, given my upbringing, how I'm even a functional adult. I never had a positive male role model. My father was a drug addict and a criminal. My mother divorced him when I was a baby and then immediately got with (and eventually married) and alcoholic who she allowed to abuse me horribly from as far back as I can remember until I left the house at 17. I'm talking physical injuries, not to mention the intense verbal and psychological abuse. I managed to graduate college and grad school (with degrees in psychology and mental health counseling), then had a complete mental breakdown and was diagnosed with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder. Luckily, I respond extremely well to antipsychotic medication. Today, I have a masters and a good job. I'm almost completely debt free (co-signed a small student loan for my brother). I have no relationship with my father, step father, or mother. I was married, but my ex-wife cheated on me so I divorced her. I'm lucky I have friends.

I think Galloway means well but he is really scared of the left and feminists. Any time he starts agreeing with men's issues too much, he will randomly throw out some progressive talking points about abortion rights or transgender issues.
A non-American comment here, he says men should be protective over trans people. But parents and doctors are subverting minors to gender-change operations. So, a logical conclusion is that men should protect them against parents and doctors, which translates they should protect them from their own ideology. That's tricky...

Why can’t we just call “a male role-model” “a father”? Many of our social problems will solve themselves if we can just start promoting fatherhood and male leadership.
I hear you…but try to think further than our society just doesn’t promote it. Men don’t have the right to demand a place in the mother of their child’s life, they don’t even get a say in whether the child is or isn’t terminated. Majority of custody goes to mothers (many reasons) and in the worst cases, fathers can be alienated from their children at no fault of their own. And yes, dead beats. I was raised by my father and grandmother…women can be deadbeats too. Male role models are simply that, a model of hopefully a moral and righteous man in society. There are many for the fatherless, filling the void for boys and girls. It’s just not so simple. Be well ✌🏾
You’re right a 19yr old or young adults in general should not have to pay for the sins of their father or grandfather or culture or heritage or whatever that’s screwed up… everyone goes “oh it’s responsibility” like it’s that simple
