Statistically speaking, let’s look at the data: - salary wise, men are still paid more in every profession (even those that are considered “traditionally female”). - Men hold 92% of CEO positions - Men hold 70% of executive positions. - Men make up 70% of Congress. - 80+% or so of engineers are male. - Men make median 67k a year and woman make 53k.
So, when you look at actual, real data, men are doing fine (and good! It’s good for everyone when good men do well).
The only truly alarming issue, from a data standpoint, is the number of men who somehow believe things are worse for them, and the resentful feelings that belief (however unsupported by the facts) brings.
I wonder where that comes from and who is benefiting from making people feel that way? Could it because of hackneyed journalism like this article? Online influencers? Politicians who want to earn votes through fear-mongering and divisiveness?
These feelings and ideas aren’t good for society. You’re doing well and you should feel good about it. If you’re not, it’s not because of your gender and it doesn’t help anyone to lay the problem there. It’s not productive.

Among using CEOs and Congress as an example, which is the top 0.001% of men.
For every statistic you cited, you can find one that shows that a vastly higher number of men in the lower quartile are doing both worse than their counterparts in other developed countries and worse than women as well.

Can you please cite… anything… to support your argument that “men” as a group are somehow in crisis? Because, as a statistical group, strictly based on gender and solely based on numbers, “men” seem to be doing fine.
