Sven Sinclair spoke on June 11, 2017 at the Northern Virginia Ethical Society about “Are Men Obsolete?”

White men without college education were a key demographic behind Donald Trump’s electoral victory and other reactionary social movements of our time.

How will the roles for most men in the future society differ from those in the past? Can the new roles be fulfilling, or will they be a perennial source of strife?
