Sorry mate, this is complete horseshit and smells alot like a men's rights advertisement. IMO, here's why.

Men and women are biologically different, but that doesn't manifest in a noticeable performance differences across many domains. For example, I love women's MMA. Women fight differently than men, but the fights are just as exciting. Same with women's football or math or playing the violin or sexual appetites.

However, particular male attributes, such as violence against women and what I call the privilege of certainty, really stand out. These characteristics of masculinity manifest in toxic, anti-social ways that feminism will eradicate with selective genetic pruning.

Men who blame women for their problems don't need to become women, they need to embrace social behaviors, empathy and communication. None of which fit the classical masculine profile promoted by popular cultures. Therefore do not blame feminists for men's problems with masculinity, blame the men who choose not to evolve.

TLDR; The problem is with socialization of gender roles, not with masculinity per se.

the privilege of certainty,

You might as well be talking about modern femists or SJW's... That is hardly a masculine trait.

You're certain that men don't suffer from the privilege of certainty? Ty for proving my point and here's some reading material to add weight to my opinion.

Two excerpts in reply. The first on increasing male suicide and the second on gender difference from (gag) Jordan motherfucking Peterson, who, when he sticks to research, is not nearly as much of a dick as he is on YT.

"You are the type of man who has chosen to isolate himself from town, health care and other people. Then you shoot yourself, and you’re hours from a trauma center.”

"It’s easy to bash white middled-aged men in America. As a member of that privileged group, I’ll admit that much of the bashing has been warranted: No group in the history of the world has been given and squandered more than the white man. Yet the American white man is responsible for enough suicides annually that Madison Square Garden could not hold all the victims"

"What really killed Hemingway was one of the things killing American men today: a macho fantasy of a man who needs no one but himself...Lingle fell in and out of love, with his most serious relationship ending when his girlfriend begged him for a last time to get help and he refused."

"Where are the largest differences? Men are less agreeable (more competitive, harsher, tough-minded, skeptical, unsympathetic, critically-minded, independent, stubborn). This is in keeping with their proclivity, also documented cross-culturally,  to manifest higher rates of violence and antisocial or criminal behavior, such that incarceration rates for men vs women approximate 15:1. Women are higher in negative emotion, or neuroticism. They experience more anxiety, emotional pain, frustration, grief, self-conscious doubt and disappointment (something in keeping with their proclivity to experience depression at twice the rate of men). These differences appear to emerge at puberty...So even though men and women are more the same than they are different, the differences can matter."

TLDR; Deep down I despise myself almost as much as I despise you
