It's not a fault of society or government or women if men's 'traditional' roles are disappearing, it's up to men to evolve and develop our roles, to care for our families and to be better than our fathers. Thats not disrespectful, we learn from the good things and the bad, it's our role to lead and make the lives of our families better, generation by generation.
If women are rejecting men, those men have to ask themselves why, not try and force women to accept them as they are by changing laws and removing benefits and rights of women.
