As a subset of a complex situation, I'll argue from the tangent of the male psychological perspective.
(misogynist slant is self-noted)

The environment for the traditional 'working man' is vanishing.
No longer is there a simple steady job available where all you have to do is show up and learn to perform a function. There are all types of pitfalls in the hiring process, government and legal considerations, prerequisites which sometime have nothing to do with the position(such as secretarial experience), and various levels of HR who are sometimes not bound by the rules of sanity.
The workplace has become a dynamic environment where rules change unexpectedly, which is damaging to the male ego. Men like to start something and finish rather than change-course multiple times.

Another aspect is the neutering of the male position, in both the home and society.
Any male who has had an alpha woman 'help out' with simple tasks has experienced the female trying to alter the end task, distract and interfere when unnecessary, and sabotage his process to the benefit of her own personal power and influence. Many beta males tend to give up at this point, and remain that way.
Males tend to pick/accept an alpha leader and assist with a single purpose, while women randomly decentralize.

Women have gained economic power and independence with their centralized role in the workplace, often preferring to work amongst other women, and with that comes the backlash against anything that requires the manual and brute labor of the grunt pig male.
Someone always has to clean out the latrine, to make society function at the end of the day.

The male is no longer required for raising children as well, and therefore expendable.
Sex and relationships have now become threats to the male. Males can lose control of all their rights just through engaging in natural behaviors. Alimony and child-rearing costs are no longer tied to basic subsistence standards and are often extravagant beyond reason.
If the male is unable to pay, the government taxpayers will.

Through this system, abuse of the male presence and psyche is actually encouraged.
