For people who aren't familiar with Charlotte. I've mashed up Reddit comments (NOTE: these may be unreliable) with locations to give you a feel for the geography. This square is ~13 miles across, and varies from low density suburban to high density urban, with everything in between.

This story does a good job of arguing that there’s nothing happening to men that isn’t happening to everyone else. It’s just that this is the first time a broken system has caught up with men, and unlike the rest of us, they don’t know how to cope with the system being against them.
