That's just not true, but I do see where the perception comes from. I am gen-X and raised well within peak chauvinism and toxic masculinity. Along the way, nation-wide sensibilities started to change and we are all better for it. The problem is that as we tried to right the wrongs, we as a society forgot to change the way we raised young boys. We began to raise our girls to be independent, demand respect and equality (all great things), but we forgot to stop raising our boys in a way that ties their self worth to sexual prowess, maximum aggression, ability to provide for a family, and all the other metrics that only apply to the old family centric, male dominated structures. Yes, we started to raise boys better now but change is slow and all those other boys now find themselves ill prepared and with a strong sense of entitlement to a world and way of life that simply doesn't exist. Some boys/men adjust, but others are just throwing a tantrum. To those "men" all I can do is respond like someone raised in the old ways. "Stop being a fucking little whining removed, man the fuck up, and adapt! Show me that you aren't worthless or shut the fuck up. Fucking baby."
Being in the Bible Belt, I could see what you were saying, until the last bit.
