What exactly is "being a man"? While China do have stricter teachings, lets not pretend that a lot of the men there don't grow up to be either really toxic or have so much trauma that they're literally dying of exhaustion or worse to keep up values pushed on them.

Because China needs factory workers and the west doesn't.

Basically this. An influx of women into key institutions + the denigration of the family unit/of having children = women with a reflex to protect, care for, and prevent harm to perceived victims (minorities, the underprivileged, etc.) are attracted to professions where they can exercise these instincts. In many cases, it's academia.

Participation trophies, compassionate competition, safe spaces and trigger warnings are perverse, authoritarian iterations of women's inclination towards care. Nowadays, it has nowhere to go because children = bad, so it goes to the next available group. The root word of 'kind' is 'kin' after all; when women demand kindness, they're doing so with a maternal intent. That's why they say things like "I don't know how to explain to you that you should just care about people." They don't have to explain it. It's an instinct, one that supersedes just about anything else.

Freedom is intolerable if it is cruel or unequal.

Well it probably works out for them. Middle school sports was a rude awakening. I was only good at one sport and the other two were either pain or boring.
