I always want to say, it is not just one thing. Agree with Holbrook, much of this comes down to parenting. Not just young women, I observe young "men" and wonder if they stopped making men as to me (a 53 year old male Texan) they still act like boys. A parent should try to develop confident and intelligent humans, but I see so many parents try to prepare the path for the child vs. preparing the child for the path. I will also avoid my Texan bias by sharing why the 11th had her act together.... Additionally, although I get into a lot of trouble thinking and I am trying to do less of it, how have lockdowns affected younger adults? What is dating look like for these young adults and are these experiences generating rewarding relationships?
Unfortunately it is exactly what I was refering to. I noticed that shortly after leaving that post. I was very taken by most everything you wrote. Substack is brand new for me but I learn quickly. I find myself here daily. And as my Mom has Alzheimers I'm in Maine while my hom is Central PA. A fish out of water. So the distraction was welcome.
I am new here and hardly know the difference between a smokestack and a substack. I enjoy the writting but was wondering if a single individual writes most or all of the commentary. The stories such as Human Island I know are by their respective authors.
This problem in society boils down to a lack of parenting. Regardless of the parental situation, single parent, same sex marriage, heterosexual couple it is the commitment by the parent (s) to actually parent. Teach the kids, stand properly, look people in the eye, respect others bla bla. However this isn’t happening today. Kids are left to figure it all out on their own. Not working!!

Thank you for your comment, but I’m a little confused. My name is listed as author on every post. Is this what you are asking about?
