Here's one all you feminists will like. Sadly, he doesn't mention whether or not women can have valid football takes; so I'm gonna say no, they can't.

They have been victimized by DEI.
Recent commentary and reports have highlighted a growing narrative that white male millennials and Gen Z individuals are experiencing unique professional and social alienation, often described as a "lost generation" due to the institutionalization of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies. These analyses suggest that many young white men feel they are being unfairly passed over for career opportunities and blamed for historical inequities.
Key Findings on the "Lost Generation" Narrative:
-Career Setbacks (2014–2024): Critics argue that starting around 2014, elite industries (media, tech, arts) began heavily prioritizing diversity, which resulted in reduced opportunities for white men. Data has been cited showing a decline in the representation of white men in sectors like medical schools, law school, and journalism.
-"Systemic" Discrimination Concerns: Some commentators argue that DEI, while intended to correct historical injustices, has transformed into a form of "reverse discrimination" that negatively affects younger white men, particularly those just entering the workforce.
-Cultural and Social Alienation: There is a noted trend of rising discontent among young white men, with many reporting feeling "alienated" or that "the system is stacked against them".
-Mental Health and Resentment: The feeling of being targeted as "the problem" has led to increased anger and disillusionment, with some young men turning toward, or being influenced by, right-wing reactionary figures.
Contextual Data and Perspectives:
-Shifting Attitudes: A 2025 survey showed a significant rise in the share of young men who believe they face discrimination in American society, with 51% agreeing, up from less than one-in-three in 2019.
-Reaction to DEI: While many young white men may not oppose diversity itself, the public messaging and implementation of DEI have caused a backlash among this group.
-Counter-points: Other analyses suggest that while some individuals have been negatively affected, young white male professionals in the aggregate are still doing well. Furthermore, some argue that the "lost generation" narrative is overstated, while still acknowledging that the rapid shift in hiring practices has created a real sense of grievance.
The situation has created a complex, often politically charged environment, with some calling for a return to strict meritocracy (colorblind hiring) to address the perceived "war on young white men," while others maintain that DEI initiatives are still necessary to address broader, ongoing inequalities.
