“Americans today spend a great deal of political and cultural energy litigating between the comparative importance and veracity of two well-documented crises, in education as well as in life more broadly. The first crisis, worrisome to conservatives and thoughtful liberals but considered explicable if not laudable by many progressives, is the political radicalization of young women. … The second crisis, broadly associated with masculinity, has two elements: male academic and professional underperformance and failure to launch, combined with elevated mortality and decreasing life expectancy …. the truth is that too many young Americans of both sexes have the same basic problem: They lack any sense of purpose or duty larger than themselves and their own preferences.” (02/09/26)
