What you’re describing would no doubt improve matters.
But fundamentally, we are shirking around a ground truth that the kind of things that stir in male biology aren’t terribly useful in today’s modern world; men biologically need to feel useful in their physicality, to have something to protect and something to provide for.
The terrifying slide towards all the bullshit hyper masculinity or Jordan Peterson style “self improvement” is all a reaction to the fact that, with where we are heading, many of those traits can’t find a natural home in how we’ve structured the world.
