It hasn’t been forgotten. It’s not true. Young men are certainly not more psychologically for to handle deprivation. There is no basis to that ability based on either gender OR age. Fact is, you can’t tell how someone is going to handle deprivation until they’ve been tested. From what I’ve seen based on conditions of deprivation (most of which have been temporary) young men are not better than men in general and men are no better than women. Men have just as many hissy fit come-aparts as anyone else.

Your second point is only marginally true, if it has any truth at all either. Many young men are not mentally or physically fit. They’re sedentary and coddled. Not all. But many. I’d take a middle aged woman who’s healthy and active over one of them for whatever needed doing any day of the damn week. Or a 70 year old man who’s still in good shape. I’d be so much better off.

Lastly, we have a drug problem. Young men aren’t just on Xanex etc. They’re doing a lot of hard stuff. They sort of stuff that punches holes in your brain. They’re never going to be fit for much and they’ll cause problems whatever they do in life because that’s what swiss cheese brain does. And it’s permanent. Look at Mike Lindell. He’s a crack addict. Supposedly, he’s clean now but he’s still got drug brain, that’s clear. He’s just not getting high anymore, that we now about.

To be fair, I’m not denying drugs aren’t a problem for many young women too. I’m just saying that in the context of your article, you’re glossing over reality of young men and drugs.
