There are many men laboring under a paradox. Many men on PPD are themselves not traditionally masculine but they want a woman who is traditionally feminine and who will treat them as if they are traditionally masculine even though they aren't.

Why tho? I mean, do you even realize that the foundational concept of traditional masculinity is PROVIDING. The overwhelming majority of men simply do not earn enough to provide for a woman, and I am not saying this to make anyone feel bad, but really, median wages are simply not high enough for me to believe that men can provide for women.

Also, women overwhelmingly work and provide income. Many educated women out-earn men.

How on earth can you require a woman who works, pays the bills and half the rent to be submissive to you. That is not the right approach, if you dream of being dominant and masculine ask yourself:

What will you do to compensate for the fact that you do not provide adequately for women anymore?

Again: I do not want to make feel people feel bad, because I am out here earning money on my own, and it's hard!!

Not a headscratcher as to why they're failing with this mentality/strategy. But they seem to be genuinely unaware of this: Your mentality has needs to catch up to reality.
