What he describes are trends that have evolved over decades across developed countries, and are most obviously visible in education. In Britain, generation X went off to university in a world where women had only just been grudgingly permitted to apply to some Oxbridge colleges. Now their sons and daughters inhabit a world where almost half of girls consider going to university while fewer than a third of boys do. A similar split in Sweden prompted a flurry of concern about the so-called “pojkkrisen” (boy crisis), while in the US, some college deans of admission have admitted secretly discriminating in favour of boys’ applications to stop the gender gap widening too much.Christopher George, Gary Raymond, Lawrence Casey and Justin Tarr in The Rat Patrol "The Holy War Raid" That either-or can be disputed; the transformed social landscape that men face cannot. When Beauvoir was writing her manifesto on the plight of women, she noted that “the most mediocre of males feels himself a demigod as compared with women,” and that “a man would never get the notion of writing a book on the peculiar situation of the human male.” Nowadays, there are many such books. Self-doubt has broken through the supposed imperviousness of masculine self-belief. Reeves’s book is only the latest; it is also one of the most cogent. That’s not just a consequence of his compelling procession of statistical findings. It’s also due to the originality of his crisply expressed thesis: that men’s struggles are not reducible to a masculinity that is too toxic or too enfeebled but, rather, reflect the workings of the same structural forces that apply to every other group. Reeves’ suggested progressive routes through the minefield range from encouraging boys to consider traditionally female (and relatively automation-proof) careers in health and education, just as girls have been steered towards science or engineering, to the rather wilder idea of letting boys start school later than girls. But whether or not these are the right answers, he’s asking the right questions. Progressives need to talk about the trouble with men, or the solutions that bubble to the surface may be anything but benign.

Yet Liz Truss is the kind of Tory feminist who instinctively recoils from what she would see as playing the sexism card. A former cabinet minister for women and equalities herself, she has dropped the “women” from the job title and given it to a minority ethnic man.
