    I guess modern society is just becoming misandrist...

    It is. There is an attack on masculinity. Because masculine men are independent, strong, capable of cooperating with members of the community, protective of their families and communities, and they are attractive. It’s okay for a man to be effeminate, but for society to function, most men need to be masculine. Because you have to be masculine if you want to be a builder, a firefighter, a police officer or a soldier. Don’t believe me? Women in these positions tend to be more masculine than the average woman.

    It's a cultural thing within those industries but you don't need to be masculine to drive a fire truck, issue a speeding ticket or apply caulk. Also:

    independent, strong, capable of cooperating with members of the community

    Those aren't inherently masculine features. Plenty of people who would be categorized as feminine are all of the above. If we're playing the gender game, cooperation is by far much more attributed to femininity than masculinity.
