The emasculation thing starts back in the 60s and 70s though:
deindustrialisation and the decay of the status of manual labour
feminism
gay rights
greater acceptance of androgyny in youth culture
decline in living standards meaning that one income won’t support a family
This is one reason for all the nostalgic TV programmes like Happy Days and films like Grease. Simpler times. Also ironically whiter times, given the soundtrack.
