America's transition from an labor-based (i.e., mining, manufacturing, farming, etc.) economy to a service-dominated economy has naturally benefited women, and the decline in meaningful work for American men is a major contributor to our current social woes (i.e., mass shootings, White nationalism, opioid epidemic, etc.)
I wouldn't say this has been to the benefit of women; these service sector jobs tend to pay less, offer poor job security, and leave workers underemployed.

Now, I do agree that the lack of meaningful work for men has contributed to social dysfunction. The root cause of this misery is economic dislocation. The destruction of unions, social safety nets, and deregulation have all contributed to this terrible trend.

True, but the same American men were gung ho for Reagan/Bush/Trump/Scott Walker.....?
