I'd phrase it by more carefully separating the "is" from the "ought". "Modern, postindustrial society is simply better suited to women" gets the "is" part pretty close, though I'd say it as "modern, postindustrial society is less well-suited to men than what preceded it", because the former misleadingly implies a men-against-women zero-sum game. The "ought" part is what I said in my previous comment: men ought to recognize that the trend exists, and when they hear masculine virtue demonized, ought to stand up for it by word and by example.
