Young Men and How the Democrats Lost Them

 Sebastian Junger raises important points in a Substack essay. An excerpt:

 Despite long-overdue advances in gender equality, men still make up 97% of combat deaths and 94% of work-related fatalities in this country. Every year, more men are killed doing the nation’s most dangerous jobs – logging, fishing, construction, mining, oil extraction - than in the entire Afghan war. And over ninety percent of so-called “bystander rescues” are performed by men. Women do as much vital work as men and are enormously self-sacrificing in their personal lives but almost never, say, jump onto subway tracks to save a stranger when able-bodied men are there to do it instead.
