I know I'm going to start painting this picture with a wide, rough brush but here goes...
When men first starting doing stuff there were just two kinds of men, free men or men who were enslaved or subject to other men.
As things developed then new roles opened for men. Free men could choose to be in the clergy, merchants or in the military.
In the discovery of the world these men were then asked to find and settle frontiers.
Science, the Industrial Revolution, "progress" allowed a man to be just a worker. A provider. Originally a man had to fulfill all the roles. Then he was limited to just a few choices.
Now what is a man to do?
Get a degree? More bachelor's degrees are awarded to women now than men.
Be a father? More children are born to single parents than not.
Be a warrior? Extremely out of favor.. A priest? No thanks... Merchant? Seen this unemployment?
When all of a man's traditional roles are gone, limited or frowned upon; what's a guy to do?

Thanks for this perspective. I'm in a gender and politics class that focuses on women. I have a lot of issues with feminism, and you've just added fuel to my fire :)
