Warren Farrell: Why Boys Are Struggling More Than Ever (And No One's Talking About It)

We live in a world where boys and young men are facing a silent crisis. Young men are twice as likely to overdose, six times more likely to commit suicide than young women, and more than nine times more likely to end up in prison. Recent studies show that over 90% of mass attackers are male, with more than two-thirds of them under 35. Boys are growing up with less-involved fathers and are more likely to drop out of school, drink, do drugs, become delinquent, and end up in prison. The most dangerous person today is a young man who feels lost, and alone. This is where Dr. Warren Farrell comes in. He’s one of the leading voices on these issues, exploring why boys are struggling so much and what we can do about it. In his groundbreaking book, The Boy Crisis, Dr. Farrell digs deep into the reasons behind this crisis and offers real solutions to help boys find their way. He also tackles the changing nature of relationships in his book Role Mate to Soul Mate, showing how couples can move from just fulfilling roles to building deep, meaningful connections. Dr. Farrell isn’t just a writer; he’s a speaker and expert who’s been pushing the conversation forward on gender, parenting, and mental health for years. His work helps us understand the challenges boys face and how we can change things for the better. - The Boy Crisis: https://www.amazon.com/Boy-Crisis-Boys-Struggling-About/dp/1948836130 - Role Mate to Soul Mate: https://www.amazon.com/Role-Mate-Soul-Secrets-Lifelong/dp/1637744560 - Follow Dr. Warren Farrell on 𝕏: https://x.com/drwarrenfarrell Learn more: warrenfarrell.com Timestamps: 0:00 Trailer 1:35 Introduction to Dr. Farrell 5:43 Why Fathers are Needed 7:24 Boys & the Educational System 13:13 Dad Absence & Its Cost 22:41 Dad-Style Roughhousing 27:50 Public Reception of Dr. Farrell’s Work 37:39 Feminism & Ideological Battles 42:57 The Book: Role Mate to Soul Mate 51:22 Communication in Relationships 58:08 Sexual Health Issues with Men 1:02:32 Boys, Models & Parents' Roles 1:10:15 The Future & Civil Dialogues 1:15:59 Concluding Thoughts: Farrell’s Upcoming Projects Sign up for Magatte Wade's Newsletter ➡️ http://magatte.substack.com Get Magatte's book on Amazon ➡️ https://amazon.com/dp/B0CJH1MKN2 Magatte Wade is an entrepreneur, speaker, and visionary leader in African entrepreneurship.
