So wonderful to be enlightened by a woman about what it means to be a man. I just couldn't have worked it out on my own. /s

This is a wonderful article. Sure, there were some (read: many) oversights in it, but it is progress nevertheless. It it something to congratulate the writer on, but we must keep pushing for social change.

To understand better this asymmetry, we need to look more closely at the relative value we place on masculinity and femininity.

Of course, the author comes to the conclusion that the reason men feel the need to perform and thus choose higher paying, higher sacrifice careers is because we love them too much; whereas the reason women are freer to prioritize personal factors in employment is because we hate them.

You see, masculine value must be constantly demonstrated through performance because it's valued more than femininity.

This is what people in the 21st Century actually believe. This is what passes as compassion for men in this era.

Because men – and especially white, professional men – occupy a uniquely privileged place in society, Nathan is reluctant to discuss his feelings openly.

Lol. Stopped reading there.
