Agreed. We can actually see the results playing out in this social experiment to treat boys and girls as if the genders are interchangeable. The single biggest thing we could do to reduce violence would be for parents to raise children. Boys are particularly affected growing up in a household without a father. The idea that mothers and fathers are interchangeable, and that boys can be socialised to be more feminine, simply doesn't stand up to the evidence. Being raised in a single-parent household correlates with higher rates of obesity, increased risk of mental health issues, reduced upwards social mobility, increased risk of substance abuse, and increased risk of criminal convictions. One interesting hint comes from Harper and McLanahan (2004) who found that boys raised by lone-fathers have the same rate of criminality as those raised in a two-parent household.

If males are becoming violent and disordered it's because society and law is favouring systems that disadvantage them. Feminists have played no small role in pushing for such systems under the guise of fighting 'patriarchy' and wamen power.

How are feminists responsible for deadbeat fathers who won't take care of their own children? I'm not quite following the leap of logic.

You have just one piece of the problem there. Feminist thinkers (e.g. Dworkin, Greer, de Beauvoir) have long seen marriage as an instrument of patriarchal oppression. They attack marriage, seeing it a woman becoming the property of a man, and champion the idea of women as single-parents while also blaming the men involved. I certainly say that the men are equally to blame in these situations where children are born outside of committed relationships. We need to address the deadbeats, address the reckless mothers, and end this ideological view of it being perfectly fine or even somehow admirable to have children outside of marriage.
