The "masculinity crisis" is algorythmic bullshit 💩

[Basman]

Basically that what constitutes the "masculinity crisis" isn't unique to men but are rather just general trends in society, like the depreciating worth of higher education or lack of dating, and are present in both men and women. In some instances it's actually worse for women, like mental health (though that could be biased by women generally being more open about their feelings). On men attending college less specifically, men tend to be much more driven by money and have more options to get a higher paying job than women without a degree. Degrees that are likely to pay still see men attending to a high degree (no pun intended), and men still form the majority of entrepreneurs. 

A lot of the culture war discourse online is essentially algorithmic, IE. engagement/rage bait. It's a tragedy when people buy into these narratives uncritically because it implies a degree to which one signs off their own agency. It's a kind of memetic victim mentality. 

I will say though that there's too much "deconstructing of masculinity" going on of an unconstructive kind in my opinion, which basically amounts to shitting on guys for being guys. There needs to be more dialogue about the unresolved hatred for men within feminist circles since the suffragetes. It's iliberal in nature and needs to be constructively criticized as delusional and informed by trauma.
