Most of the workforce now are white-collar workers, most of whom have some of the most tedious and idiotic jobs ever concocted. Entire industries, insurance and banking and real estate for instance, consist of nothing but useless paper-shuffling. The “tertiary sector,” the service sector, is growing while the “secondary sector” (industry) stagnates and the “primary sector” (agriculture) nearly disappears. I think young men recognize this and lose hope of ever being able find satisfying, meaningful careers. Then they see the institutions of marriage and family being slowly destroyed and lose incentive to work hard to provide, not trusting in the veracity of these institutions any more. Really, it it any big mystery as to why men have thrown up their hands?
Agree....and not even going to go into the scarcity of ‘young ladies’ to share conservative values.
That's not all; consider the legal-system and "domestic violence" restraining orders. A man can be immediately stripped of his right to bear arms, without a jury-trial, simply because a [ex-]girlfriend wants him to suffer.
