Another article concerning the struggle of men and boys:
https://www.npr.org/2022/11/04/1133586707/boys-men-labor-force-jobs-gend...
From 2022 and US figures. I wonder to what extent this might happen in Australia, as we are very hands on with many tradies still doing well. Areas like Geelong, Elizabeth, Melbourne's north losing their industry may see more of these kind of inequalities?
Vic Gov has appointed a parliamentary secretary for Men's behaviour change:

Not the kind of change to help men in these situations I think. The guy will be constantly swatting red pills.

It’s lucky the barge wasn’t landed and cars boarding.

Well, why not.
If you’re gullible enough to wolf down non-stories that appeal to your confirmation bias from news.com.au or the daily mail, you may as well upgrade to a bit of fibre from the ABC.
Can’t eat fairy floss all day.

"Elon Musk thanks Tesla shareholders for approving $56billion pay package after slamming New York Times over report that Amazon tribe was addicted to porn due to Starlink"

Continuing on the demographics theme:
" I think what we have done is focus societies for no good or bad reason perhaps on things like getting an education pursuing a career to a certain point and we've simply
forgotten the reality that if people want to have children assuming they do
if people want to have children that needs to be factored in two and there
are time limitations and really no one has been talking about this so the number of heart broken stories I you know sat in people's homes with people shedding tears because they just didn't know that it gets harder and harder to have a child perhaps that's part of the civilization we've created but it's one that should be quite easy to change "
- from the transcription.
