I believe as an outsider looking in except for the masculinity aspects ... that it is an accelerent to the parenting model that women have done with boys when their is a lacking masculine parent in the sons life.

Toss them into schools where it the teacher majority is women, and boys are literally bathed heavily in female adult authority, and given youth they shut down and stop evolving.

A lot of boys drop out of school and per TED talks it was stated by some per the psychologist talking that they didn't feel safe.

I sense a woman's and mother's love senses this and doubles down on the mama bear persona and viola here we sit.

If the boy is black in today's society it becomes even harder.

We can all be honest about ourselves that women have had it super hard and have been forged tougher and stronger "and" black women have had the same accelerant applied.

Societal systems have been for the last forty years adding helpers to reduce that inequality, but for men it is assumed privilege and protections are still there (when they aren't). If the pie in our country continued to grow (economic that is) as people were added, then we could assume this, but it is shrinking as people have to work even harder for less.

So yes partially to your view, but IMO more so to the fact that society has ignored boys and their developmental needs still.

E.g. look in colleges, now that the student population has switched, are colleges going to have affirmative action for boys? Probably not.
