On this episode of Man Talk  Monday on the Smarticle podcast, we discuss a recent New York Times article by Claire Cain Miller addressing the feelings of many Gen Z men who feel left behind and consider Trump as a potential solution. We explore themes of masculinity, societal changes, and how education systems might need to adapt to better serve young men. The conversation delves into the challenges these young men face, including job prospects, societal expectations, and the potential disconnect between their support for Trump and his background. We also talk about the importance of understanding and addressing these men's concerns without vilifying them.
