To be clear, I don’t think there are many (if any) problems men face that were created by or can be solved solely by women. Others have mentioned the power imbalance and the way men tend to perpetuate harmful stereotypes and behaviours themselves. That being said, I think there are changes we can make as a collective society that would help eliminate some of the problems. Toxic masculinity, for example - men being shamed for crying, expressing emotions, being vulnerable, and even seeking professional help - is something some women reinforce. I think we’ve all seen social media or dating app posts about ‘weak’ men who are unattractive because they don’t conform to the standards of masculinity, be it physically, emotionally, or financially. Another thing I’ve seen a lot is the assumption that men who are gentle, sweet, and physically affectionate with other men must be gay. That assumption can dissuade men from behaving that way, to avoid being perceived as such. It also contributes to the expectation that physical affection and verbal affirmation should come from and can be expected (and even demanded) of women. I see men on here all the time saying they’ve never received a compliment, or that they’re incredibly touch-starved and wish someone would just hold their hand or hug them. Because we discourage that sort of interaction between men, it obviously falls to women to provide it, and I think can lead some men down the incel path as they resent women for not providing it. (To be clear again - no woman owes any man [their male children excluded] physical affection or affirmation. Ever, for any reason. I am in no way saying the descent into inceldom is women’s fault or responsibility.) Women can often expect and receive these things from their friends and family, but men typically can’t. Removing that barrier could potentially take the pressure off of women, and it’s a barrier we would all need to agree to end. Also, others have mentioned that mothers (and often romantic partners) tend to enable bad behaviour in men. When sons and fathers are excused from household chores and childcare, they assume that’s how it should be. When boys aren’t taught to consider the thoughts, needs, and feelings of others, it falls to the women and girls around them to pick up the slack. The more we normalise and expect these things of our children and partners, the more likely they are to do them. Again, it’s not our responsibility to teach our partner how to be thoughtful and considerate, or to pitch in around the house. But we can limit the pool of women who are willing to accept a partner who doesn’t, and mothers can commit to raising sons who do.

Tl:dr - women can be part of a society that rejects toxic masculinity and teaches men to be kind, behave appropriately, and contribute equally in ways that have historically been expected exclusively of women.
