Modern Masculinity
122 Answers
Men have lower life expectancy than women, and significantly higher suicide rates. They are more likely to be the victims of violence and are falling behind educationally.
Certain "male" behaviours that used to be acceptable no longer are, and many within the younger generation feel lost & even demonized in what they see as an increasingly "feminised" culture.

As a bona fide male chauvinist with archaic tendencies. I like a woman to be feminine, intelligent, intriguing, and pretty. Some males today blunder from ingratiating servility to arrogant posturing. The role models of yesteryear are thin on the ground. Women seem to me to be changing from enchanting, to confrontatio

That alone is acceptable, but what we are getting is a sort of asymmetrical inclusivity, whereby more & more opportunities are being weighted towards females.
As OG says there are many factors, one is that a not insignificant number of males are not being brought up in a 'conventional' married two parent home, but in a background of single mothers.
Also the sick teachers who tell very young boys that the choice of growing up as a boy or a girl is up to them, should be sacked, as well as being tarred & feathered.

What's going on is that we are all ageing and the world starts to seem different from the way we remember it. Many oldsters over thousands of years have disliked the way that 'things aren't what they used to be', and considered that the younger generation is not a patch on what it was in their day. PP has pointed this out above.
Khandro; your OP seems to be rasther anti-feminine. Here's a few observations:-
1 I bet that men have always had a lower life expectancy than women, due to their physiological makeup and the more violent role they have played for most of history.
2 Men may be more likely to be the victims of violence, but I bet they are also more likely to be perpetratotrs of violence.
3 When you refer to men falling behind educationally, do you mean that they are being overtaken by women, or that they have in some way stopped being as keen on being educated?
4 What male behaviours are no longer acceptable? Do you think that that's a good or a bad thing?
5 Do you disapporve of an 'increasingly feminised culture'?
6 'What's going on?' The times they are a changin'.

Boys were falling behind educationally when I was at school, that is nothing new - but even now more men are in senior positions than women; men on average still earn more than women. What's going on?
Thankfully fewer men treat their wives as stand in mothers and are more involved in family life than their father's generation, but still the average woman does far more housework/child rearing than the average man. What's going on?

Frequently.
But what concerns me more, is that when I was a boy (I can't speak for girls) my cohort tried very hard to 'get on' & advance themselves, now in the UK, the lowest achievers are white working-class boys, that is very sad.
Everyone on here seems very sanguine about that, dealing out the usual tropes; 'twas ever so' etc. well it just wasn't.
