Part 8/10:
The narrative considers the changing expectations of younger generations, particularly Gen Z men, who are raising their standards and refusing to accept the traditional roles women now disdain.

He laments that modern society has not only eroded masculinity but also set men up for failure by discouraging natural male traits like provider instincts and protectiveness.
