You are right that there are plenty of problems that men face because the "men box" and the limitations imposed by a narrow minded mentality. I mean, there were boys who were doing well. But since those boys behaved, studied hard and basically acted "like the girls", those were abused by fellow boys and when girls sided with them, they were attacked for "having to hide behind girls". I guess you know the drill.

It is the same as when men with a girlfried and a good relationship are insulted (like being called "betas" or "cuckolds") and told that their girlfrieds would cheat on them with alphas and other non sense. That is more of a fantasy from the "alphas wannabe" than reality, but if you are insecure, it might lead you to self sabotage.

Regardless, boys and men have more power to change this dinamics by "not giving a shit" about what those other men say and just living their lives. At the end of the day, those hardworking boys got well paid jobs (not a real surprise) and those who were giving them shit, are now envious pf them. Same could be said for the "betas". They have loving relationships that last and their partners value them for more things than the money they make.
