The picture is nowhere near this neat and tidy. Plenty of men can't get jobs. They want jobs but can't get them. Life circumstances are far more complex. Its not always solved by learning to code either. Not everyone can do that. Offshoring jobs was not good for societal structures at all. It was all about short term profit.

Less men in employment is not a good thing. It isn’t some kind of passing the torch to women happy event. Its just mass unemployment of a significant number of people in their prime earning age. Its societal failure.



And probably people in an age bracket prone to acting out aggressively or against some perceived opponent.

I look at the variety of protests (of all sorts) and wonder how many people are there for a cause and how many want something to be part of, and a bit of motivation and thrill.
