I think this video made by a sort of respected leftist YouTuber is ignorant of history and is kinda reactionary itself on how it perceives problems of Men and Women. Sure he does make some good points

This video seems kinda problematic if we look deeply. His main point at the end is that women are being made scapegoats for the modern "masculinity" Crisis which sure is true although he didn't talk about how men are already the bigger scapegoats and are blamed for no reason.

His assessment of "masculinity" Crisis is also very wrong and gynocentric as fuck. Ofc there were chivalrous ideas of masculinity but its just completely false to say that Men try to show their masculinity in being protector or provider for Women. First of all no, the truth is that society itself including women only value Men who can protect or provide well for Women Or society in general. Men have no inherent value by society. This is not some masculinity thing, its the result of a very sexist society.

Then he says that women are now independent and hence are putting more "good" Standards on Men and men are not being able to meet those. This is just a classic "every problem with a man is caused by himself " Theory. First of all, Women aren't independent (not in the sense he's referring to) , Men still are protecting and kinda providing for Women (and others), the difference is that women or society in general are now completely alienated from the male labour that is put into providing and protecting for them and hence many feminists falsely think "they don't need Men". Second of all, Feminism has only increased toxic dating standards on Men. He says that Men should drop their misogyny or something like that to get women (this just promotes a sexist idea that women are the choosers and men are like salesmen trying to advertise themselves and the best way to promote yourself is to always consider Women as the right ones). Anyone who knows in the real world knows that so called Men with "toxic masculinity" Are much more likely to get laid and have more female contact than Nice guys or just good lads
