NYU professor Scott galloway argued that one of the most notable shifts in the 2024 election came down to mothers trying to help thier sons.
Galloway has spoken numerous times about the struggles young men face in a changing world, while the modern progressive movement appears to ignore their interests as a group. During an appearance on Nicolle Wallace’s podcast “The Best People,” Galloway saeid he “won the jackpot” for being a White man born in the 1960s, part of a generation that had access to wealth and affordable homes.
“Men of my generation have a debt, and the way I try to pay that debt is I try to raise awareness around the struggles of young men, because thay’re being held accountable and guilty for my priviledge,” he said.
The message is not always well received by his liberal allies, however, he said, noting that “When I start talking about this stuff, there’s an understandable gag reflex from progressives, from women, from non-Whites.”

NYU professor Scott Galloway recently voiced concerns about the challenges facing young men in America, describing a “crisis of purpose” and economic hardship. He argues this generation confronts obstacles unlike those faced by previous ones.
Galloway stated that the fundamental agreement in society is that children will enjoy a better life than their parents if they follow the rules and contribute positively. Though, he contends that this expectation is currently broken for many in their thirties, who are financially worse off than their parents were at the same age – a first in nearly three centuries of U.S. history.
“Almost half of men under 24 are living at home. One in five men age 30 are living at home. One in three will live at home at some point before 25,” he said. “and all I can tell you is, if you’re the parent of a struggling kid, your whole world shrinks to that kid.”
While acknowledging these issues affect women too, Galloway emphasized that men are disproportionately at risk due to societal expectations. He explained that men often feel pressure to be the primary financial provider and that dating dynamics often prioritize financial stability.
