Poor men. They've had it rough throughout the centuries. They've been at the top of a society that was built for and by them, and completely controlled by them until only very recently. But the poor things have nothing, I tell you!
Women, meanwhile, have been truly oppressed and yet we have managed to survive and keep working, even though we are still paid less then men for the same work. Men have no idea how privileged they are and have always been in this society. I'm so tired of hearing them whine about how hard they have it.
I am not interested in this gender war nonsense, I'm just pointing out the current reality as I see it.

What is this: "Men today have no community, no access to productive activities, no options for love and affection, no mentors, and no 'initiation rites.'" if not gender war nonsense? Where are these poor, poor men who have no access to anything in society today, a society in which they still dominate?

I'm not going to quarrel with you, because you just don't get it, and you probably never will.

I was thinking maybe some of the older ones are retiring early ...
Basically, this. A recent article in the Financial Times (behind a paywall, so I won't link it) considered the labor-force participation rate among different age groups... 20-25, 25-30 and so on. How did this participation rate evolve over recent years? It turns out that post-Covid, there was a big drop in the participation rate for the 50-65 contingent. Simply put, people are choosing to retire early. It isn't because 30-year-olds are lazy and alienated and devoting their precious time to video games... but because 50-year-olds are, ahem, spending more time on City Data.

Men are simply not motivated to work. The reasons for this are complex, but to put it simply, they don't feel that the rewards are worth it anymore. I mean, who can blame them? Men today have no community, no access to productive activities, no opportunities for love and affection, no mentors, and no 'initiation rites.' So what are they doing instead? They are becoming neets, spending 12 hours a day in front of a screen.

Listen, hon. If you want to really feel oppressed, pick up an M-16 and charge the enemy line.
Until you've done that, you have no idea what real oppression is.
Let's see what women like you have to say when you have full equality, including the equality of dying on the battlefield in the tens of thousands.
The fact women live longer than men is because their lives are generally easier.
