The Male Crisis

Filed under: General — Downunder @ 7:18 am Mon 18th June 2018

Is that possible?

Could we reach a point where the anti-male hysteria drives a society, a whole country, especially a small country like New Zealand into the crisis zone?

How many years ago did we start to raise issues like,

Fatherlessness
The possible effects on children

How many issues saw no acknowledgement because women’s issues were too important.

Male suicide
Financial deprivation
Mental health of men

The stresses on social services, volunteer organizations, the extended family.

Particularly the extended family, when that intergenerational skill set is lost to the break down of the family. When grandparents are the last competent generation. When the pool of volunteers dries up.

When suddenly all the carers, the doers, are stretched to the limit, their financial resources strained.

Those waking hours stressed by the endless demands of an aching society.

Does a male crisis become a country in crisis?

What do you see when you stop and look around you?
