“ONE thing standing in the way of further progress for many men is the same obstacle that held women back for so long: overinvestment in their gender identity instead of their individual personhood. Men are now experiencing a set of limits — externally enforced as well as self-imposed — strikingly similar to the ones Betty Friedan set out to combat in 1963, when she identified a “feminine mystique” that constrained women’s self-image and options.” – Stephanie Coontz, quoted in “Has America Been Insufficiently Womanized?” (Emphasis added.)

What the (whatever) kind of person writes “overinvestment in their gender identity?”
Here’s a guess: The kind of person who wants people to be the way she/he believes they should be, not the way they are. The kind of person who believes animals in the wild … uh, in nature, are kind and gentle, ya-da, ya-da, and etc.
Mush and mush and more mush.
When Kinky Friedman ran for governor of Texas, one of his campaign promises was to de-wussify Texas, one wuss at a time if that’s the way it had to be. We need to de-wussify the US of A. Big time.
