I have sympathy. I don’t think our society provides good guides or role models for young men; it feels like a lot of them are lost and don’t know what opportunities are out there for them.

And I rather expect the political response to this work of fiction will be to double down on some of the things causing young men to feel alienated: treating masculinity or male attributes as bad or undesirable, seeing crimes against women and girls as more important than those against men and boys, failing to make them feel valued by society.
