I think a growing cohort of men will start to live their lives and express themselves in ways that are fulfilling to them and know it’s worthwhile despite society’s expectations. This might involve being more “feminine” in a lot of ways or place less importance on their careers or seeming successful by traditionally masculine traits. I think men will recognize this in each other and support one another when their peers or women won’t necessarily like the untraditional new lives they’re leading. This might be like women having careers in the 1960s or LGBT people being out in society. It can be untraditional, but ultimately a fine and healthy way to live your life. I think social media or online communities will help with this too. In terms of what is causing it to change, I think is deindustrialization and the nature of a capitalist, individualist society. If your peers or culture are asking you to be “masculine” as a hunter gatherer, Breton-Woods-era American tradesman, or Jay Gatsby-type, you’re going to feel out of place if you don’t feel like that’s how you want to live your life.
