I planned an invasion too...
But then my friend Jay used a drop pod to put a squad of sternguard Space Marines in my flanks and shot up my boyz! My Waaagh was short lived and very sad.
Since these were space orks, does this make me at least part Fungus in Heinlein's eyes?
The same thing that happened when technology increased productivity and decreased the amount of work required in any field throughout the entirety of human history.
Vast improvements in standards of living.
After long periods of social upheaval, revolutions, increases in crime and the relegation of large sections of the population to mere cogs in the machine.

Pardon me for being harsh and unmacho.
The cultural attitudes being defined as masculine here, which I usually call being macho are the attitudes of teenage boys. That pushy, trying to assert power, playing king of the hill sort of thing. The 'alpha male' idea. That's biologically unsound among other things since our species doesn't have a biggest horns means being the only one who gets to mate.
In any case. At the core of this attitude is a combination of fear, pride, and an unwillingness to see women as human beings worthy of individual respect.
What some call losing masculinity, I call growing up.
