EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Chris Williamson and Scott Galloway, The War On Men Isn’t Helping Anyone - Scott Galloway explores scott Galloway: Why Demonizing Men Hurts Everyone, Not Just Men Scott Galloway and Chris Williamson discuss the current cultural and political climate around masculinity, arguing that there is a real crisis for young men that is minimized, politicized, or framed as a threat to women. They explore how education, economics, dating dynamics, and online culture have combined to make men less attractive partners, more isolated, and more vulnerable to extremism and despair. Galloway proposes an aspirational model of masculinity built on being a provider, protector, and procreator who creates ‘surplus value’ for others, and he emphasizes the critical role of male role models and national service. They criticize zero-sum identity politics, the performative focus on DEI over class, the misalignment between stated and revealed female preferences, and the way MeToo-era messaging plus porn and social media have sterilized healthy male risk-taking in relationships.
