Males have dominated all power structures in every society in the history of humankind
Why are men doing this to themselves?
> Why are men doing this to themselves?
What you are doing here is using a tiny substrata of hyper-successful men (those who "dominated power structures" as you put it) and using that to represent the entire structure of Western society. There is nothing about that that is vaguely appropriate.
Western, Eastern, Northern and Southern - all societies
It’s like the prison guard complaining to the prisoner about how badly the king treats the guards
So the patriarchy is anti-male?
And if you prefer American and a bit older, that what Emma Goldman basically said, that the power structure of capitalist America (and later the Marxist leninist Russia once she saw what the butcher of Kronstad did) was hierarchical and that to avoid having the bottom revolt against them, the top direct the anger to citizen lower than them. I personally don't think it's on purpose, I think most people lack courage and prefer punching down rather than punching up.
Yes the civil rights movement was impeded by politician and some violent white nationalists, but the overt political support was from middle to high class female, and you don't have to read a ton of anarchist / Marxist books to understand why.
I think it’s loss aversion and belonging to the in-group
Men control power and also control what little power other men have
