I was a teenager in the late 60's, when the wave of feminism was first breaking: Gloria Steinem, Germaine Greer, and Andrea Dworkin, were coming up. Public figures still discussed issues like "should a woman work after marriage". My mother got her PhD around 1970 and went into academia and government and she was almost always the only woman in the room. Yet I'd still say that feminism did almost as much for men as for women. The effects weren't as showy, but they were huge--my father's generation would not be able to comprehend the emotional freedom that modern men acquired. But it hasn't been even and it's still much less complete for men. A lot of men still have one foot, maybe both, in the old world. Their expectations of themselves are those of world gone by. The world they actually live in is often openly contemptuous of what they imagined were their virtues. It's a recipe for despair. Very few people have the flexibility to change much after they are fully grown. A few, but not many. There is a vast stratum of men who are living out of their time, but are too close current culture socially to elicit societal respect or sympathy, and in fact, feel blamed for all the ills of the world. So they drink, or drug, or blow their brains out, and nobody really cares.
