maybe?

I don't really like the traditional interpretation of social contract theory, it's very Pavlovian, which works, but seems rather dystopian. Works well for conceptualizing society, but doesn't build a productive one i think. Like you said, we need to give men something to do, something to work for, and something to enjoy. And outside of that, they need a place in society that they can exist, without limitation. Because currently, there isn't really a space for them. Arguably there isn't one for women either, so addressing both of those would be beneficial.

They weren't faulting the men. They were saying society itself has largely disengaged from young men.
