I grew up in that time also and I agree with you! I'm deeply saddened. What saddens me the most is the point you made:

'For example; something like women entering the workforce en masse probably seemed like it was an overwhelmingly good thing at first, right? '

No one wants to talk about the men displaced from good, professional jobs that have gone to women. While a good and moral thing to do, it's left our young men with a bleak outlook for the future. It's rarely mentioned that women are given preferential treatment in hiring. As women rise into higher management they pull up other women. This is not even accounting for the preferential treatment given gays and minorities. An additional burden to men From a dating perspective is the fact that women choose men that earn as much or more than they do. (Hypergamy)

It seems disingenuous to hear feminist to imply that men want to go back to the ways things were in the past. That's absurd and used as a distraction from discussing the negative impact on men. I have a mother, wife, daughter and sister. I them want to thrive and be happy. I strongly believe that we should have equal opportunities for ALL. It's been a hugh benefit to women, men and society to relax stereotypical gender roles. Let's show men the same empathy and compassion that we give women. We must acknowledge their challenges and burdens.

It's all a huge problem and it's all going to get worse. I am not being a pessimist. I am being a realist. Sad but true.
