The bottom line is they are doing everything they can to sequester you from the most meaningful and important thing in your life, and that is relationships.

Get off your phone.

I think it's a big part of it.

But it's a multidimensional.

Let me just be an equal opportunity hater here.

Perfect.

A lot of men aren't stepping up.

The single point of failure, if you were to reverse engineer to the point where a boy comes off the tracks, it's when he loses a male role model.

We have the second most single-parent homes in the world behind Sweden.

What's interesting is that a girl in a single-parent home has the same outcome, same rates of college attendance, same income.

When a boy loses a male role model, at that moment, he becomes more likely to be incarcerated than graduate from college.

What it ends up is that while boys are physically stronger, they're emotionally and mentally much weaker.

So the reality is the men of my generation who have registered more prosperity than any generation in history have a debt.

And one of the things we need to do is get more emotionally involved

and physically involved in the life of a boy that's not ours.

That is the ultimate expression of masculinity.

And unfortunately, men aren't stepping up.

There are three times as many women applying to be big sisters in New York as there are men applying to be big brothers.

Some of that is this unfortunate taboo from the Catholic Church and Michael Jackson that if you have paternal or fraternal love to give, you feel self-conscious about taking an interest in a young man's life.

But young men are everywhere.
