Nobody is criticizing men for woodworking or cooking pastries.

I don't think that's necessarily the problem, young men aren't sliding to the right because they're being told "boys don't bake." The problem as I see it is, in general terms, there is no path to success for many young men, and they know it. Of the two major political voices you hear today, one of them says "You have no right to complain, you're a man. You've got it made, you outright own society such that every single bad detail about society is personally your fault, and I will never stop hating you for it." The other voice says "Hey, remember when you WOULD HAVE had a path to success?"
