This is a great analysis and something I've been studying quite a bit. For at least 100 years, if not longer, women have been fighting (some losing their lives) for equal rights and to broaden what it means to be female. Women can now be an astrophysicist, dress in a wide range of ways without shaming, choose to stay home and raise children, or be a CEO of a company. During the same time period though, men did not evolve as much, did not broaden what it means to be masculine. There is still A LOT of gatekeeping for what men wear (it's fabric for God's sakes), what jobs they can have, how big, strong and dominant they must be, what type of sexuality is 'acceptable'. Women already did, and still are, busy evolving. We are simply asking men to do the same, to be multi-dimensional human beings, instead of narrow stereotypes. To leave behind toxicity and learn new skills. The survival of our species literally depends upon men letting go of violent conflicts over territory, resources and ideologies and learning how to be compassionate and caring human beings. As the author stated, do the work.
