Meh. a) Have you ever considered the possibility that those attitudes you call "socialized" may be genetic? b) Have you ever considered the possibility that they may be desirable? That we may need strong, confident, stoic leaders to navigate a dangerous world?
Understanding and acknowledging how men are penalized for straying from masculine norms can reduce men's defensiveness and help both men and women gain empathy for each other.https://hbr.org/2018/10/how-men-get-penalized-for-straying-from-masculine-norms …

The behaviors don't need to be socialized or undesirable for us to acknowledge that there are social norms.

Guess it’s men’s turn to play victim. How disgusting.

It's not playing victim, it's just understanding the world that we live in. No judgement needs to be passed on the social norms to understand them.

Everyone is penalized when they veer off the path of well established social norms. That's a social norm itself. It's one of the ways a society maintains stability, and a culture. It's also an evolutionary pressure that keeps masculine and feminine distinct.

In some cultures more than others! Some are very strict and how do they fare? Some are very “liberal” and how do THEY fare? What’s important is to be able to frikin talk about it without a rush to judgement in some echo chamber!

The article suggests that men in the office often exhibit the stereotypical behaviour claimed by advocates of gender "science". I've not observed this. What I've sometimes observed is females sabotaging each other instead of working as a team.

Most of the examples/studies are of men at work, not in families or friendships, where folks are usually more flexible.
