WEEK 7: Young men in America are struggling — in school, in dating, in work, in purpose, in faith, and in mental health. In this episode, we sit down in Cambridge Common with Lindsay, an Army intelligence officer turned Harvard Law 2L, to talk about the crisis facing modern men and the cultural forces shaping young men today.We dive into why boys are falling behind in education, why young men feel lost in dating and sexuality, why male church attendance has collapsed, why addiction and homelessness are overwhelmingly male, and why so many men lack mentors, role models, and direction.We also talk fatherlessness, pornography, arranged marriage, masculinity vs. “toxic masculinity,” male crying and emotional health, Scott Galloway’s advice for young men, and whether the rise of victim mentality is destroying a generation.Later, we discuss naming children, the pro-life question, red flags in dating, and listener questions about relationships, marriage, and masculinity.If you care about the future of young men — or you are one — this episode is for you.Email [email protected] with your questions/comments or submit a voice memo at https://www.speakpipe.com/approachthebench for a chance to be featured on the show!
