KRISE, MASKULINITET og KRISE

TED Talks 2015:

What really causes addiction — to everything from cocaine to smart-phones? And how can we overcome it? Johann Hari has seen our current methods fail firsthand, as he has watched loved ones struggle to manage their addictions. He started to wonder why we treat addicts the way we do — and if there might be a better way. As he shares in this deeply personal talk, his questions took him around the world, and unearthed some surprising and hopeful ways of thinking about an age-old problem

TED Talks 2018:

In this fascinating look at the "alpha male," primatologist Frans de Waal explores the privileges and costs of power while drawing surprising parallels between how humans and primates choose their leaders. His research reveals some of the unexpected capacities of alpha males -- generosity, empathy, even peacekeeping -- and sheds light on the power struggles of human politicians. "Someone who is big and strong and intimidates and insults everyone is not necessarily an alpha male," de Waal says.

Drenge og mænd i krise?

Der bør være langt mere fokus og opmærksomhed på, hvorfor og hvordan mænd er stærkt overrepræsenterede i negative statistikker (vold, psykisk sårbarhed, misbrug etc.) Det er baggrunden for Renicikes bog og forskning. Vi bør som samfund være interesserede i at forebrygge og forklare, hvorfor det overvejende er mænd, hvis kriser er så alvorlige, at de ender i sådanne statistikker.

 

- 80 % af de personer der dømmes for lovovertrædelse er mænd

- mænd lever i gennemsnit 4 år kortere end kvinder

- 80-90 % af hjemløse er mænd

- mænd begår 3 gange så ofte selvmord som kvinder

- mænd har sværere ved at acceptere en periode som arbejdsløse.

- Mænd oplever ofte hårdere sociale derouter ifm. Skilsmisser

- Det er ofte mere problematisk for mænd, at omstille sig fra at være i erhvervsarbejde til     at gå på pension.
