Lyz Lenz hit the nail on the head about all the pandering to the "male loneliness epidemic". These losers need to be shaken and told to grow up. The world is a harsh place and nothing is just handed over to most people.

Understanding conservative men:

The entire media industrial complex has bent over so far backward that they can see their own wet buttholes in an attempt to understand, empathize, and hold the hands of Trump-supporting white men.

And it's not just women who are expected to make these sacrifices. As Tressie McMillan Cottom writes in the New York Times:

Their rhetoric — and the conventional wisdom that flows from it — suggests that we cannot talk about economic solutions without abandoning our commitment to the Black, Latino, gay, transgender and female poor that are the lifeblood of the Democratic Party’s base. The conceit at the heart of that belief is that poor white people are too racist, and too uniquely ignorant of their racism, to vote in their best interests. Therefore, Democrats have to accept a little racism to win the working class.

It is an old argument. History will tell you that negotiating with racism or fascism or authoritarianism never ends well.

The comments had this nugget:

My older son told me that he finds that whole 'men just can't help being obnoxious and deserve sympathy for it' to be deeply insulting. In his words "I make an effort to be pleasant to be around. Giving the assholes breaks just makes me look like a chump." I feel like indulging male self-pity does the same thing for you. You worked hard to stop that so everyone is going to denigrate all your effort by sympathizing with the pith[sic] party crowd. >
