I skimmed the piece, so I probably missed a lot of points.
But it seems to me (and as the mother of two sons, I am definitely biased) that men are getting a bad rap right now because I can assure you, there are just as many female assholes around right now as there are male assholes.
I don't honestly see anything wrong with the traditional male role—so long as it can coexist peacefully with non-traditional male roles. Which I think it can do. They're all various flavors, you know? And which one you prefer is a matter of personal taste.
I think, in general, both men and women are finding it harder and harder to partner—and that this has a lot to do with the isolation engendered by the Internet, which gives users the illusion they are communicating with other people when, in fact, they are typing on a keyboard.
This phenomenon is going to get a lot worse with the rise of AI.
