I honestly think the "Me Too" movement back in 2017 is root of why things are bad between men and women now along with other factors mixed in. The original goal of the movement (which was est. in 2006) was "to empower survivors of sexual violence—particularly young women and girls of color in underserved communities—through empathy, solidarity, and community healing". However,I notice some women with bad intentions used this movement to their advantage and a energy shift occurred nationally, thus the original vision of the organization became "mudded waters". through the media. The movement turned into "bash the male gender",and i believe this is the "big picture" consequence of some of those women taking it too far. Over time, young men saw the value in not keeping certain social behaviors around, such as, approaching women, because it became a societal norm to bash men in general due to culture that the "Me Too" Movement established. Also you can combine this with ppl relying on text, social media,and technology to communicate instead of face to face interaction. (I believe the Covid lockdowns played a part in this). Healthy social interactions wasn't reinforced because ppl always had technology to fall back on.
