Men are way more involved in their families then they used to be. Also, it is women who are more likely to initiate the divorce. It is men who seem to cry all the time about not having girlfriend, there is comparatively much less women making whole movements out of being single.

I would observe that the men who have families are more involved, but there are also many more men who do not have families to be involved with.

For one, this is something multiple old people I know commented on. The change in how much males interact with their kids or generally do housework. Plus, there is less social pressure to spend time after work away from familly - men after work take kids outside instead of going to drink with buddies in bowling league.

Second, sociological studies are consistent with that - fathers and husbands are more involved, do more work at home.
