Mo's family founded the Mariah Wilson Foundation to get kids into cycling and skiing who couldn't otherwise afford it — the two sports Mo loved most. In its first years, the foundation has distributed over $140,000 to organizations across the country. Every year, they host a Ride for Mo on the Kingdom Trails where she grew up.

Armstrong's legal fight continued well past the verdict. Her lawyers filed for a new trial in December 2023, claiming she had been pregnant at the time of her arrest and miscarried in custody — an evidentiary hearing was denied in August 2024 and the appeal refused. On January 23, 2026, an appeals court upheld her conviction entirely. On the civil side, Mo's family was awarded a $15 million default judgment — $5 million each to Karen, Eric, and in exemplary damages — after Armstrong failed to appear at the hearing [1] — Host "$15 million wrongful death default judgment: A court awarded Mo's family a $15 million default judgment against Kaitlyn Armstrong after Arm…" 1:11:02 . A second civil suit named Armstrong's family and Colin Strickland, alleging asset transfers to shield money. Meanwhile, Mo's family channeled their grief into the Mariah Wilson Foundation, distributing over $140,000 to youth sports organizations and hosting an annual Ride for Mo on the Kingdom Trails in Vermont where Mo grew up.

Mo Wilson wrote in 2022 that when you love something enough to fully commit, the risk becomes irrelevant — because even if you fail, it will have been worth it. She was 25 years old and had already lived that principle more than most people do in a lifetime.
Social media feeds men and women the absolute worst caricatures of each other while stripping away the everyday, imperfect relationships that would calibrate their expectations. Combine that with smaller families and fewer cross-sex friendships, and you get a generation that talks about the opposite sex constantly but almost never to them.
The 'would you rather be alone with a man or a bear' debate went viral not because men are objectively more dangerous than ever, but because an entire fear industrial complex of influencers and safety products had already primed women to feel that way. Once the algorithm identifies you as worried about personal safety, the content and the scrunchie drink-covers never stop.
Women feel less safe not because danger has increased, but because trust in institutions — police, churches, schools — that used to enforce safety norms has collapsed. Young women are far less likely than older women to believe those institutions will handle sexual assault responsibly, leaving them with only individual self-protection as a fallback.
Even self-identified feminist women consistently told Daniel Cox in interviews and surveys that they want men to open doors, pay for dates, and show demonstrable care. The internet noise around 'benevolent sexism' drowns out this widespread, quietly held preference.
In focus groups in Philadelphia and Raleigh, every single hand went up when participants were asked if parents discussed financial stability and education. Zero hands went up for marriage or parenthood. Parents are shaping their children's ambitions with total silence on the experiences that matter most.
American families are smaller than ever, with roughly 1 in 5 children now growing up as only children. Without the daily friction of siblings — shared bedrooms, shared bathrooms, resolving disagreements — young people enter adult relationships without the negotiation muscles relationships require.
Online dating optimises for your existing preferences rather than expanding your horizons. People who meet online give bad first dates almost no second chances; people who meet through mutual friends are far more forgiving. The disembodied, checklist-driven nature of apps removes all the social cues that actually reveal character.
A split-sample survey found that men judge male and female cheating identically harshly, and women judge male cheating the same way men do. The outlier: young women are dramatically less likely to call female infidelity morally wrong, suggesting shared-fate thinking and personal experience of being cheated on are reshaping the moral calculus.
The monk mode trend encourages men to withdraw from social life to work on themselves — but this is precisely backwards. The research is clear: close friendships are the single most powerful predictor of whether a man dates, commits, and becomes his best self. Self-improvement without social reintegration is just sophisticated avoidance.
