Helllo there
Hey
Pretty good flow of people
aye
I'm really, really pleased with the turnout so far.
If you guys want to fill in for the bot until I fix it up, you could start posting links to the Reddit in this thread?
Does anyone have any insight regarding the upcoming documentary Man Down? ://mandownthedocumentary.com
Ah, not seen it yet.
I remember hearing somewhere, quite possibly from a feminist, that boys used to outperform girls in schools, and then how school was done was changed to fix that. Does someone have a source for that?
Or a negation of some sort

Also, does someone have a copy of Warren Farrell's The Boy Crisis? I'd really like to know the issues just concerning boys education that are noted in that book
@turbulance4 I think it is pretty hard to get good information on a documentary before it is finished. Particularly since this one seems to be a bit far off from being finished (according to the website "So far I have shot about 20% of the footage I need to make this my first feature length documentary, but I must finish it. ").
Yes... But maybe someone knows about the film maker
Moreover, the documentary claims to investigate "if" there is a bias. However, Crouch, Angelucci, and Karen all show up in the trailer (the former two for only a few frames).
hola

I have a question for @everyone!
Hello my name is Silver and I’m a young adult novelist. I’m currently working on a series that targets young men and the social issues that they’ll unfortunately have to face. And adventure!
In-between the action there are usually slice of life sections where the main characters are confronted with social hurdles to jump. For example, the first book has tackled: Equal gender responsibility in dating, Defending yourself priorities, Respect, False accusation.
What kind of issues would YOU want young adults to learn about, In the next book?
And don’t worry if these issues don’t have well defined answers yet, I have a duo of writers who help me hash out what could be an answer.
My two biggest things is dealing with weight. I’ve been super skinny my entire life and struggle to gain any weight. It’s been an issue because I’ve had to deal with people saying I’m too skinny and must not be eating enough.
The other is living with the fact that I’m circumcised. It’s not something I chose to be but it is something I have to live with for my entire life. Every boyfriend I’ve had has been uncut and it just makes me hate myself.
Ew, @ing everyone. @Silver_The_Bard: Trying to help a man in a (physically) abusive relationship? A male-skewed homelessness issue like coping with having to temporarily go through rough-sleeping and accompanying social isolation? (potentially harder to do without affecting continuity, especially with YA protagonists) Some other issues, like education discrimination or the draft might be very hard to fit into a story with an already-defined setting, and you've already done false accusations so paternity fraud might be too similar.
If you're looking for a list of men's social issues, this website is a decent source that explains things in a broad fashion without being a book on each one: https://rbomi.com/
