This brings me to Scott Galloway, the prolific podcaster and author of the book “Notes on Being a Man.” He is very concerned about “the alarming state of American boys and men,” the country’s falling birthrate and the dating drought among young people. He theorized that the marriage rate is falling in the U.K., where he now lives, because economic anxiety “creates strain in relationships.” He positions himself as a masculinity whisperer who is much less toxic and more progressive than manosphere figures like Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate.
