Thanks for this insightful piece, especially for calling out feminism's role in the antagonism between the sexes. I was raised to not question the tenets of feminism, and it has taken me a long time to question them despite the pain they have caused. It's very helpful to have intelligent women calling it out too. I agree with everything, except for the part about men having "forgotten" how to court women. Maybe some have forgotten or are too young to have seen it, but for us older folks, the environment has become too hostile to engage. Most women I encounter "don't need no man", and have no receptor sites for connection with men. Any attempt to break through the resistance is met with antipathy if not condescension, so many of us have given up trying. I am mostly just watching from the sidelines while asking how I can assist the world coming to its senses, as well as keeping an eye out for that rare woman who is aware of the dynamic and is willing to challenge feminism. There are more and more women doing this online, but I don't encounter them in my day to day life.
