Andrew Tate's meteoric rise to being the #1 influencer among teens is evidence that society has no idea what to do with boys.

Boys/men are struggling in obvious ways (at school, fentanyl, suicide, etc) but there's no real solution to be found.
If there's a real problem that the 'serious people' aren't addressing, then unserious people, charlatans, and grifters will step in to offer their solutions. That's why Andrew Tate and his ilk exist.
If you're interested in tackling the issues facing young men and boys, I can't recommend @RichardvReeves's book Of Boys And Men enough.

It's a fantastic, compassionate, detailed case for taking boys' problems seriously.
