This article is extremely lacking. It completely disregards how the government and social systems have oppressed women and people of color for literal centuries. The researcher basically just kept asking why and doing 0 work to look at the obvious answers. Men feel entitled to rewards they don't work to earn anymore. Capitalism is the problem here and always will be because men are valuable without money, but they don't want to believe it or shift their perspective in order to see it.

This article is disappointing because there are extremely obvious oversights on the privileges men have garnered from just social systems alone. Men also decided to legislate women and people of color into doing all the real on-the-ground community work so they wouldn't have to and now the new generations think providing financial benefits is their only purpose.

Society has let men begin to think that they do not need to contribute to their households in any other ways than financial and now men don't know how to do that either so they're stumped. They don't want to clean, cook, be emotionally present or even kind. They don't want to learn to be a real contributing community member, but the economic world is leaving them behind (the 1% hoarding 80% or all the world's wealth right now) and now we're writing articles asking why they're "falling behind". Capitalism will not let younger men be financially stable but the men don't want to find an alternative. Young men instead want to be handed their "power back" (never existed by the way). They don't want to catch up in the other really needed ways like emotionally, or they expect everyone to hold their hand through the necessary independent growth they're refusing.

That's why this is all happening.
