I don't think this fact is well known enough: The growth in male suicide rates since 2010 has been among YOUNG men, in contrast to the previous decade when it was middle-aged men cc @jonathanhaidt.bsky.social @twenge.bsky.social aibm.org/research/mal...

It's a small thing, I know. But I think if we read "a doctor wants to prescribe HIS patient" someone would notice and change it.

Are Men OK?

According to Richard V. Reeves, American society is failing to address the needs of men and boys. Are his solutions the flip side of feminism—or just another form of backlash?

Homelessness looks quite different for men and women, mostly because men are more likely to be single (& so unsheltered), while women are more likely to be with children. See our new research brief from @aibm.bsky.social aibm.org/research/hom...

As a think-tank head, I get as much delight from supporting this kind of research as from some of the flashier stuff we do. High quality analysis on an important, topical issue: given gaps in college, will women with BAs find someone to marry? papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

"I remember trying to explain to my parents what parenting was. 'What are you saying?' 'I said parenting.' 'That's a verb now?' 'Yeah, it's a verb now. It's a thing you do. Didn't you do parenting?' They're like, 'No. We just had kids,'" writes TPN member @richardreeves.bsky.social.
