The promotions in corporate America do not always go to the most qualified, but to meet quotas, whether they be gender or racial.
And yes, that can be "soul-crushing".

They will be the ones screaming for "equality" once they reach retirement age and realize they don't have any money.

i think "work" as defined by our society is a soul-crushing experience for most

this is not an exaggeration, it is an epidemic.

I don't think it's the welfare state. Men tend to live up or down to society's expectations

I don't agree at all. I don't blame society for men not stepping up.

So men are doing that on their own, with no influence by "society"?

One of the consequences of feminism is that the role of protector/provider

I agree with everything you said, but none of that is because society is telling

Women tell men via feminism that they can provide for themselves
