Yes, we agree on most things and that’s nice.
The solution to male disposability IMO should not be to increase female disposability. It should be to make male life more valuable. Use automation to make jobs safer. There should just be less need for dangerous work in the first place, we have the societal wealth to make that investment. But first we have to… care.
Title IX issues:
It’s meaningless to talk about how Title IX “works” because it varies from school to school and anyway it seems like it mostly “doesn’t work.”
You say “women also want this fixed” regarding female rapists being impossible but I have never signed on to a Feminist space and seen them discussing that issue. That’s a large part of why there is more than just feminism.
There are fewer male applicants in part because of Title IX. Obama even went as far as to say that’s the point.

I may have read Brotopia but that doesn’t mean I agreed with it. I used to work in Silicon Valley and didn’t really find the book particularly accurate. Same with SMNTY, the podcast was absolutely infuriating at times and I eventually had to stop listening to it. There are things feminism gets wrong, I don’t know what else to say about that.
Look, it’s only natural that people generally seek more power for themselves and their friends. They aren’t even thinking about or have any way of knowing the trail of destruction that causes in many cases. I’m not saying the masculism movement is right about everything either, I’d actually prefer we have both movements to balance each other out. Which is why it’s frustrating to hear people say feminism covers everything, if you believe in equality you’re a feminist, and even something as unhinged as that misandry doesn’t exist.
