They also have some careers actively being closed to them, because institutions may be incentivised to only hire women. An academic career is an unlikely bet at this point, for example. And in case people with only daughters think they will be fine because modern ideology only hurts women, I think they are wrong. As an example, suppose updated laws make marriage unattractive for men (huge downside risks of losing kids and income in a divorce, completely at the whim of the spouse). The in turn it would become more difficult for women who would prefer a traditional family arrangement to find men willing to take up the risk. Even if women prefer more "lose" relationships, they might find it more difficult to find suitable mates because of the high risk of false rape allegations. And so on. Traditionally male jobs being passed on to women might seem like a plus, but has the same issue. Maybe many women would be more happy with classic arrangements. Also there is the issue of being considered just a "token representative" and one's work being devalued.
