I think you are missing the class aspect to all of this. There is a huge amount of documented research of the impact of social class on jobs.

Most of society (men and women) doesn't exist at Harvard, and the top 500 companies.

There could easily be "anti middle/low class bias against males" from the upper classes. Which is a common theme in history, lower class men are slightly more disposable (war) then lower class woman.

I could easily see lower class men escaping into video games.
