The War On Men Isn’t Helping Anyone - Scott Galloway – Podcast Recap

This podcast recap is from an extended, informal conversation between Scott Galloway and Chris Williamson, discussing the struggles and challenges facing young men in modern society, contrasting these issues with the progress made by women and other demographic groups. They explore the difficulty in addressing male issues without the conversation being immediately reframed to acknowledge the historical challenges of women, a phenomenon they refer to as "land acknowledgement" or "soft bigotry." The discussion covers potential solutions for men, such as mandatory national service and tax policy reform, while also analyzing the impact of online dating, the Me Too movement, and societal expectations on male behavior and attractiveness. Ultimately, the speakers propose that a new, aspirational code of masculinity centered on being a provider, protector, and procreator—and generating surplus value—is necessary to help young men thrive.
