Quote in more context:

> Women are tiring of their stereotypical role as full-time therapist for emotionally distant men. They want a partner who is emotionally open and empathetic, the opposite of the age-old masculine ideal.

> “Today in America, women expect more from men,” Levant said, “and unfortunately, so many men don’t have more to give.”

I think it’s pretty clear that the harm isn’t caused by equity, but that the equity exposes the harm caused by other things.

Yeah fair, I obviously don't think equity is a bad thing, I just think a lot of men were taught to rely on inequity and now that it's being reduced, those men aren't adapting.
