@IrishRail@emma2297 Why was there no communication on the train or in the train station about the delay? It’s unreasonable that any information about travel disruptions is gated behind a social media service
@NJSimmondsbooks So accepting that there’s nothing that anyone can do to help men help themselves seems like we’re just going to accept the inevitable violence that will result
@NJSimmondsbooks Fwiw, my personal main interest in this is all these indicators point to a world so much less safe for everyone. Men who fall behind / are left behind are more likely to become violent, both domestically and politically
@NJSimmondsbooks A corollary might be the widespread discontentment of housewives in the suburban US 70-odd years ago. That seemed like an individual problem with a simple fix, and yet… I think it’s pretty obvious that there were major things working against those women
@NJSimmondsbooks I deliberately avoided the more severe issues, but my overall point is that progress requires bridge making. And it is frustrating when it seems like such an easy fix. But if it’s so painful and people still aren’t fixing it, I think we have to ask why?
@NJSimmondsbooks But what other systemic issue have we laid at the feet of an individual and been right that it was their individual problem to fix?
I fall into the camp that it’s “not your fault but is your responsibility” AND that we need systemic solutions to systemic problems
@NJSimmondsbooks Parents don’t have communities to raise their children in anymore. Our whole social structure is all incredibly isolated and individualistic
@NJSimmondsbooks Oh I completely agree with that, I just think it’s quite reductive to dismiss a clearly systemic problem. If we even talk about the iPad baby issue, which 100% leads to poorly developed social skills, let’s also talk about why parents are defaulting to tech
@NJSimmondsbooks For boys, it’s isolation. For girls, it’s internalized harm.
I highly recommend this amazing and balanced (imo) conversation. Title is a bit of clickbait, they talk about way more than just men: https://t.co/quUtpY4IRJ
@NJSimmondsbooks I’m not going to deny that there’s a certain faction that’s… let’s just say “not good”. But I wanted also to point out that it’s a loneliness epidemic that’s impacting everyone. It’s especially acute in adolescents and in boys: https://t.co/ezM8YC3qCz
