Low birth rates are not just an impediment to public transport being built, they will weaken the social bonds and economic advantages this infrastructure brings
Thanks for tackling this subject. Yesterday you noted many men are unattractive to women at present. I think this is a huge issue for everyone. The online environment for men and boys appears to lead straight to them being told the normal challenges of life and the harsh work and social environment they face is due to women and feminism. It must be hard to resist this if it it constantly reinforced. Instead of questioning the rise of billionaires and the impoverishment of most of us by economic ideologies we are told men are feminised and therefore ruined. What does that even mean? That they can look after themselves and have some understanding of their emotions and other people? Isn’t that just being adults? I applaud any man or boy who sees through the manipulation and builds a life of respect and kindness for himself and others. Women have learned that you cannot partner with someone who doesn’t know how to love, care and deal with the mundanity of life like shopping and housework.
Yes, I agree. How we develop young men to be emotional mature, kind and generous is our current major problem. The idea that this is "feminising" men is absurd. But there is a deep insecurity within masculinity at the moment. I think we need to think about how we counteract this insecurity, and stop it being preyed upon by people like Andrew Tate
The sad thing is that men and boys would be so much happier. Masculinity isn’t tangible just like femininity isn’t. You can always be shamed for not being‘masculine’ or‘feminine’ enough. We need to be ourselves and encourage others to do the same. If we stop expecting performance we may discover authenticity and connection.
I'm not sure how that has anything to do with what I wrote. But Australia takes 20,000 refugees a year from those assessed via UN processes – and coming directly from their countries of origin, or refugee camps. I would say it is highly unlikely that Australia would enter into an agreement with the UK (or any other similar country) take take people arriving on their shores.

Ian Dunt from Substack Striking 13 wrote a fantastic piece called How to be a Man recently.
I'll check it out, thanks!

Absolutely!
How much potential is there for Australia to take all the asylum seekers coming to the UK?
