On Men: masculinity in crisis, by Anthony Clare
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Males produce 25 times as much testosterone per day as females. This explains male violence, aggression and, apparently, why Sue MacGregor is paid £20,000 less than Jim Naughtie. But it means men are less capable of being "emotional, spontaneous, empathetic... the markers of maturity and health". Men must place more value on "love and family" and less on "power and achievement", says Clare, concurrently Medical Director of St Patrick's Hospital and Professor of Psychiatry at Trinity College, Dublin.
