> Men feeling threatened by women who make more than them or are smarter than them seems like something that needs to be worked on individually rather than socially.

I get where you're coming from, but I think there’s more to it than just individual insecurities. Society as a whole still pushes the idea that men should be the breadwinners, so when they fail at that their worth (in their eyes as well as society's) just plummets.

Even though people say that the idea of the male breadwinner is outdated, these expectations are still baked into how we think about success and relationships.
