Theory: For low-education native-born men, the American Dream is dead

High school is now overlarded with busywork, and boys especially have little tolerance for staying up till 1 in the morning to jump through these hoops. There needs to be a return to an emphasis on quality and curiosity over quantity and soul-crushing tedium.
Competing with women to be the head of the relationship/family is not working well for men. Yes, the top performing men are doing fine, but your average guy is feeling defeated and useless. What his dad got by virtue of being a man he now has to fight for. Is that progress? Maybe. But men are paying the price. Not just men, but mothers of boys should be concerned.
The amount of sleepless nights growing up in school is something I never want to subject to future generations.
As time goes on I realize how much clear-minded I am when I'm rested.
As someone born in the early 90s, if there's one thing I thing I remember it's as I got older school becoming progressively more hostile to something like "recess" and riddled with neurotic, joy-less rules.
1. Women's access to the job market competes with men, and takes away men's ability to earn an income that can support a family because it offers the market a surplus of labor.
2. Widespread promiscuity prevents marriage from happening.
3. Things are very good for rich and successful men, but terrible for the rest.
4. Lifestyle changes, beliefs, and attitudes are leading to a soft reduction in fertility rates. Kidfree, MGTOW, celibacy, etc.
5. More women becoming highly-educated and then expecting men to have even more education.
6. Tinder and such apps where women get used by an Ivy Leaguer for a sport fuck, and she automatically assumes she's a 10 princess and everyone else is unworthy.
7. The atomization of society into anonymous, self-obsessed groups of 1 without a community focal-point like a church.
8. The extended infantilization of men and women such they don't or can't interact with each other successfully during their prime reproductive years. This is partially due to two-working parent households not teaching their kids how to act.
9. The attitudes of shunning single men as worthless.
But both promiscuity and marriage rates are down. How does that work?
