I think you are painting with a pretty board brush, though I certainly agree most mainline denominational churches are in fact failing man...
There are churches that have not bowed the knee to Baal...
Your second half of your post is spot on
The problem is that the role of men as spiritual leaders of the family has been destroyed by society and by their ex-wives and current wives. Since men can’t even be the spiritual leader of their family, they just give up
True shepherds will hold the men in their church accountable for the spiritual life of their own family...

Of course I’m painting with a broad brush. I wasn’t writing a dissertation with studies and citations of specifics.
On the average, Christianity is failing men in this country. Christ isn’t failing them, but the churches are. And the distractions of life give them the excuse to stay away. There are exceptions, of course. My church tries very hard to keep men engaged, but most of them slip away after the service on sunday and you don’t see them again until next week. We have 50 men who are Elders and Deacons (in our non-mainline church) and they make up the majority of the men who show up for all of our men’s events.
