"I think what’s going on is that for the past 10-20 years,
"men and boys have been marginalized,"
I haven't been marginalized. Nor have I witnessed it over my longish life.
I have witnessed easily offended guys complain how the deck is stacked against them, while they reap the benefits of playing life at the lowest difficulty level.
"Marginalization" is a systemic issue; its reality isn't dependent on anecdotes or your particular happiness with your lot in life. You've got to look at differential statistics between men and women to see if either (or both!) are marginalized. College attendance, suicide rates, life span, discrimination by the healthcare system, happiness with work, number of hours worked, affliction by drugs and alcohol, callbacks for jobs, algorithmic discrimination...
Aren't dating expectations always contradictory for both genders, by definition? If they were not, human race was to become very homogenous with almost no variety (because everyone will start having kids with "just evidently the best" partners), and that's a path to extinction. Most complex species instinctively self-protect against that.
