Justice for Men & Boys 
Interesting perspective.
We need there to be young women – or rather, fathers of young women – who can recognise that kind of young man and actually favour him as a partner for his daughter.
Easy to say, of course!

Indeed! Because there will have been others whose big ideas didn’t work out! And there’s the reality, that there is always risk. I think of Leonardo da Vinci who clearly had too many big ideas to get them all sorted. It is fascinating looking at episodes of “Tomorrows World” the things that took off (literally and figuratively) and others that disappeared. As you say as a father of a daughter and two sons there is something comforting about “a good profession”. Thank goodness for us all that there have been so many obsessive hard working dreamers putting time effort and belief into all manner of innovations, no doubt ignoring the advice of their parents in the process. Some become billionaires but perhaps a few become homeless but I’m sure the majority make our world better.
I reflected that the “feminist” version of this would be that the long “suffering” sister was either abused by the obsessive brothers and left to run the shop or the real genius behind their success. So I rather like her wise advice for her obsessive siblings not to get distracted by the fairer sex. Suggesting she was happy to help in a collective endeavor and as siblings do making sure they all did their fair share.
And maybe its “vulgar” that it was once they made it that the brothers became a “catch”. But lets just be honest that’s just the way it is. Rather than torturing ourselves with an ideal derived from romantic novels and medieval poetry. Perhaps if we dealt with human issues on the basis of reality rather than fanciful ideas we’d not be so beset by “mental health problems” in the midst of unprecedented ease, comfort and plenty.
