  He is right about being paternal. I work in the trades and started noticing the young guys following me around the shop or the grounds. It took a few years to realize this 18 19 20 year old dudes were desperate for some guidance, for an older man to take interest in them. Now when I hire these young guys I realize I am not just a boss, I am a big brother.

  What he says about boys not having male role models is 100% true. It’s like the entire school system made a pact to uplift and encourage the girls, while ignoring the boys. I’ve never had a mentor, teacher, counselor, no one who ever took me under their wing and gave me some good advice. For most guys, the heroes we saw in sports and movies were who we strived to be like. I’m now in my 40s, doing okay for myself, but definitely under-achieving. I was a decently smart kid back in my school days, but, where were the real-life role models that could’ve helped steer me in the right direction?? It’s a travesty, smh.

  &quot;We&apos;ve decided, when it comes to men, that compassion is a zero sum game. And that if you feel bad for men, it immediately out you as someone that could be anti-women.&quot;<br><br>DUDE, PREACH !!!

  I grew up in a family as the only boy with 3 sisters and my mother of course. My father was more or less present and didn’t like me so much, he was hitting me physically from time to time. My parents divorced when I was 15. My father and I didn’t see eye to eye so I left home at 18. I was surrounded by my 3 sisters who gave birth to 6 girls (my nieces), not a single boy in the family besides me. When there is a family reunion, I’m surrounded with 10 women (mother, 3 sisters and 6 nieces)! &nbsp;Needless to say that I am the black sheep in the group, they ignore me totally like they have always done. I avoid those family reunions now, I don’t attend them. I went on to succeed the most compared with my siblings, graduated from university, had a great career in commercial real estate, married a great wife and we live in a very upscale neighbourhood. The message is take control of your life, don’t give a f_ck about people who ignore you and be strong.

  I was a high school English teacher in a low income area of NC. I had a group of young boys who were in my classroom before/after school and in between classes. They were like glue - being around me whenever they could. Part of that may have been that I was young and fun - but I know for sure that all of those guys lacked male role models. It&apos;s a problem that has serious real-world consequences. Boys need good male role models.

  I left teaching because of the &quot;creep&quot; factor. &nbsp;You hardly make enough to live on, so women don&apos;t want to date you. &nbsp;You&apos;re constantly being watched because no one can believe you&apos;d devote your time altruistically. &nbsp;If you spend too much time with a particular student ( because they&apos;re the only one who is listening to you) you get accused of favortism. &nbsp;Ulimately, there are too many downsides, so when I stopped teaching and went into IT, it all turned around. &nbsp;I spend most of my time alone, but the peace is irresistible.

  I got my ideas about masculinity from my dad, who rarely tells me how he feels but is always showing me and others by going out of his way to help them.

  100% agree. My father confessed to me that he met his role model, his mentor at the army. Growing up in a large family and working parents, my father started acting up at school, his parents had no time to understand why he was acting up and shipped him to the army. There, he met a man, black man like him who told him he could be someone, that he was a talented mechanic, showed him how to avoid conflict and sometimes out of respect turn the other cheek. Thanks to this man, my dad found his passion and profession. He has his own business, 50 years in and going. To give back, my dad takes troubled young men as apprentices. Some stay, some leave and come back. The door is always open. The army has given so much to him, I can see the difference between his critical thinking and that of my uncles who didn&apos;t enlist. I really think it should be mandatory like in Greece.

  The moment that we accepted the outlandish idea that fathers are irrelevant, we placed that last nail on our collective coffin as a society.
