Masculine men are the only group right now where support is going down (institutions and public support) and have laws protecting them ignored or built against in the overton window, and this in every race. Every other diaspora has had growth overall in the last 50 years.
There is definitive, bipartisan empirical evidence showing that men have experienced a massive retreat in key societal institutions over the last 50 years. This trend cuts across racial lines, though it hits lower-income and working-class men hardest.
The Higher Education Crisis: In 1970, men made up approximately 59% of U.S. college students. Today, that has completely inverted—women make up roughly 59.5% of college students, while male enrollment has dropped to around 40.5% (National Center for Education Statistics). This is a global trend across nearly all OECD nations.
Labor Force Dropouts: Prime-age male labor force participation has been on a steady, secular decline for decades. Sociological and economic analyses, such as those by Brookings Institution economist Alan Krueger, highlight that millions of prime-age men have completely exited the workforce due to shifting economic structures, physical health crises, and shifting social ties.
Shifting Public Sentiments: Sociological surveys (such as the British Social Attitudes survey and data from the National Centre for Social Research) indicate that younger generations are steadily moving away from traditional masculine norms (TMN) toward more egalitarian or fluid views of gender. Adherence to strict traditional masculinity is increasingly viewed critically in mainstream cultural institutions.
The shift in the Overton window (the spectrum of ideas tolerated in public discourse) has absolutely resulted in intense scrutiny of "toxic masculinity" and patriarchal structures. This has caused a sharp decline in cultural and institutional prestige for traditional male archetypes.
