The same phenomena driving groups like MGTow is also behind the high crime rate in minorities, high divorce rates in the middle class, expanding drug abuse problems. It has been glaring at us for decades yet seems to be ignored. More men are having a hard time fulfilling what they perceive as a male roll. Nothing to laugh at. Things can start to breakdown when basic human instincts are somehow short circuited.
