Sex is a pretty basic instinct and features prominently on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Ultimately, it doesn't really matter why men (or people in general) are unhappy, and it makes sense to do what we can to make as many people happy as possible. I'm not suggesting we should force women to have sex or something, but "men shouldn't feel that way" isn't a very emphatic approach to the problem either. Edit: below you wrote: > Basing status and self-worth on sexual conquest makes no more sense which I profoundly disagree with and sounds to me about as tone deaf as "let them eat cake".
