What about all those men who cannot reach your ideal of what a "real man" should be?
Should we worry about them or dismiss them as unadapted to the society norm du jour? There will always be people who don't fit. Nerdy types were losers a few years ago; now macho types are.
The word "progress" is quite insidius. It seems to imply there is a direction where "better" is located and we're heading towards it.
Instead we're relentlessly and half-blindly exploring the vast multidimensional space of possibility of the human condition. And this walk happens at different time-scales which are hard to fit in our everyday experience.
