I don't know if it's gotten better these days, but back in the 90's "being a man" was more a definition of absence. Being a man was "not being a woman/girl." This caused a couple years of real difficulty for me as a high school boy, since women were (finally) allowed to do all the "male" things, which ended up defining the male identity out of existence.
I feel like this perspective needs a bigger audience, since it explains a whole lot about the incel/alpha backlash, and the gender divide in U.S. politics.
