The cure for men’s troubles always seems to be to become more like women. Which also means less attractive to women, despite the demands.
Yes. The “Feminization” of society.
The fact is, Men and Women both bring different skill sets to the table, and for a well rounded, functioning society, both general skill sets must be taken into account and leveraged for the good of all, or at least to present the best possible outcome.
However, the approach seems to be to label any masculine qualities (no matter whether they are good or bad) as “toxic masculinity” and gleefully (and deliberately) throw out the baby with the bath water by eradicating.
This corrosive and destructive attitude is reflected by the Feminist sayings “A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle” and “After all, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels.”
We have been reaping the bitter fruit of Feminism for some time now in their attempts to eradicate masculine traits in favor of feminine ones, and they have been using the combined power of Education, Media, Big Tech, and Government for many decades now to do just that, with some success. We have seen the negative results of it clearly.
Well.

We are well into the Fourth Turning (Weak men create hard times) and it will remain to be seen if the next “First Turning” works out, where “Hard Times Create Strong Men”.
