The demands on men have changed.
When women were excluded from gainful employment, they needed men for economic security. It was sufficient for a man to just have a job.
Women no longer need that now that the business climate isn’t stacked against them (to a large extent).
Men now need to be actual partners in relationships. That means they need to be supportive, emotionally available, and fulfill needs and roles they haven’t been taught to fulfill.
Conservatives blame this problem on some mythical attempt to make men effeminate. The opposite is true. It’s because society has raised men to believe they need to fulfill a role that no longer exists.
