He's pretty disenchanted with both parties.
Neither party's striking the right note.
Republicans talk as if there's only one legitimate life path.
You get a job, get married, have kids.
The Democrats sometimes sound as if any young man who aspires to that wants a trad wife, wants to go back to the 1950s.
Richard Reeves, who founded the American Institute for Boys and Men, pointed out there really isn't any evidence that lots of young men want trad wives.
It just won't.
A family, because that's likely to give them a purpose in life.
They're not reactionaries the way a lot of the Democrats seem to think they are.
But there is a real difficulty getting those life markers.
They're finding it harder than the previous generation did.
And a lot of that's because both parties have been getting the policies wrong.
For the Democrats, the first step is to acknowledge that young men have problems and some of them are doing that.
Gavin Newsom in California, Wesmore in Maryland.
But the next step is to try to do something about it, and this is much harder.
But there are certain levers that they can pull, and one of the really big ones is housing.
There's strong academic literature showing that when housing is very expensive, and in America it's much too expensive because it's so difficult to build anywhere near where the jobs are, young men are much more likely to remain living in their parents' basements, angrily playing video games.
Games, not finding a good job, not progressing, not getting to the stage where they can get married and have kids.
And this is both bad for the country and it's very bad for the young men.
It makes them very frustrated.
