Im not going to pretend that I know the solution to this problem, but there is something that has rattled around in my head for several years that kinda correlates to this topic.
The most vulnerable and destructive subset of our population is young males. Particularly young males who grow up in ****** homes. We have a **** ton of resources that are specific for women. Specific for racial minorities. I personally think we need to allocate resources more towards young males to get them through high school and into work or college. It is those years between the ages of 12-18 that young males make the decisions that typically shape the rest of their lives. And we, as a society, have to figure out how to help males during this time frame. Society has to fill the gap left by absentee fathers in some way, shape, or form.
Young women, while emotional roller coasters in some instances, largely have their **** together. Their mistakes are largely less destructive in nature. But young males, particularly the ones without father figures, can spiral down quickly and make catastrophically worse decisions because of this. Resource allocation needs to lean towards the most vulnerable and destructive.
