Jobless, isolated, fed misogynistic porn… where is the love for Britain’s lost boys?

in several areas there is now a reverse gender gap, with boys, particularly those from poorer backgrounds, struggling to keep up with girls

Do you think this is an important issue?

Only commenting because I can't down vote on my instance. This is repulsive MRA fluff from a consistently misogynistic writer. Nothing to add because its not worth platforming.
- There's an odd tendency amongst certain sections of society to immediately dismiss issues that other people are experiencing based on disgust at some of the people airing the issues. Just because someone unpalatable to you co-opts the issue doesn't mean it's a none-issue.
  If we want to stop being surprised by things like Brexit and Donald Trump being elected then attempting to silence discussion like this above piece isn't going to help.
  
  Doesn't need we need to listen and share disgusting people just because the issue they're coopting actually somewhat real

These youths need a national jobs program, with training and then sent all over the country to repair and maintain the infrastructure of the country that is likely in disrepair.
Give people purpose and they might gain a drive to either do good at that job or do anything they can to get a better life outside of work.
As for the misogyny, make feminist pornography the only porn available at worksites. I don't know, that one is a harder issue to fix.

People need God
- I've been told that free markets are just as good.
  
  Let's worship a politician instead!
- Which one?
  My current top two are:
  the one killing said boys in Ukraine
  the other one killing said boys in Gaza
  
  The one which kills everyone, obviously! Why half measures?
  
  Last I checked it's humans killing boys in Ukraine and Gaza.
- What evidence is there that proves God's existence?
  
  I hate this stupid question so much.
  It's the fucking atheist gotcha.
  Congratulations, you have contributed nothing to the conversation except for making this idiot rant for a thousand hours.
  
  What convinced me was the New Testament - Basically, Jesus was a quite well recorded figure, and within a short period of time a narrative appeared about Him claiming to be God, doing miracles and then literally dying and physically rising from the dead. It rapidly started a movement of hundreds of people who were convinced that they saw Him alive, and many were willing to die for that fact if they didn't actually die themselves. There is a lot of archaeological evidence for this early Church, and I have very good reasons to believe that the Gospels of Matthew and John were eyewitness accounts and the likes of Luke and Mark were compiled by eyewitness accounts from that time and location. Basically, the New Testament was written in the first century about a Guy Who's existence and crucifixion is undeniable, written about His teachings, miracles and claims to be God, then His tomb was found empty and they claim they saw Him physically resurrected. It started a movement shortly after with the same narrative that hasn't changed, unlike other legends.
  Good videos on it that can explain it better than me:
