It's a multifactorial attack from all sides.
Culturally, there are more activities which don't require people to come together, everybody nowadays goes online, and being online lets you pre-filter for your own interests, which also means young people stick to easily-accessible, time-sink communities which often have a severe sex bias.
There's also a reduction in 'accidental' meetups, people go to the store less and less, and either do delivery, or get takeaway, there's also no requirement to group people to experience culture, you'll never run into someone at the movies, you rarely go to bars, etc.
There's also the health crisis, average male testosterone levels have
HALVED in the past 20-25 years, there are "healthy young men" nowadays whose body has never seen more than 200ng/dL of T.
250ng/dl is what you would expect a pubescent, but not yet adult child to have, these people are hormonal man-children.
Obesity is also a huge problem, because excessive adipose tissue will convert testosterone to estrogen (via aromatization), combine that with earlier puberty due to endocrine disruption, and you have early growth spurs, which are also stopped early, as estrogen is the hormone that triggers the fusing of bones, and you have a generation of
fat, short poofs.
In addition to a severe lack of sex hormones, there's also a fueling mental health crisis that people just handwave away as "we diagnose more nowadays".
We have more medication today than we've ever had before, we understand these illnesses more than we've ever had before, and yet, rates of Depression are through the roof. Rates of ADHD are through the roof.
But I've already put my spiel on diet and health in the conspiracy thread,

The scholar gap for boys is also growing wider by the year, but pointing that out and doing anything to fix it will get you labelled as a sexist piece of shit who hates women, and, ironically, will release more retarded, uneducated males nobody wants to employ, which
WILL turn to crime, and, as a result, target women.

Combine all of that with single-parent rates in the US going up 6x since the 1950s, and the one safety net, manual correction, is
gone.
Don't take all of this to say that this is a male-only issue, however. Young girls are also being fucked over
HARD, partly via endocrine disruption (go ask any Man-Hate thread resident how much they hate birth control, you'll drown in references), but also via pooning:
And via being called victims by quite literally all lefty media, and therefore being pushed ahead in a lot of positions via DEI policies, this inevitably leads to incompetents being fast-forwarded through the hiring process, which ultimately, this leads to...
The ideological gap. By framing both sexes as enemies of eachother, as "all men are rapists" and "all women are victims", and then the impact DEI has on hiring incompetent retards, young men see women as talentless leeches who didn't get there on their own merit, and women see men as retarded, raging rapebeasts who would do everything in their power to enslave women whenever.
TL;DR: Culture cornered the mind, Diet slowly hacked at it, Family broke and couldn't mend it, and both Mainstream Media, and Woke ideology, have been driving a stake through the cracks.
The industrial revolution (well, more like the information age) and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
