As a true autist, I have been overthinking about this as well.
Please allow me to present my mad ramblings.
Of course my links are all very disreputable, but they look good and just illustrate my butt feelings.
It's not just one conspiracy of your favourite group of grifters. Rather, there are is one megatrend, some consequences and a couple of groups trying to abuse them.
In essence, I think there is one megatrend and everything just follows from that.
Megatrend: Loss of cultural long-term focus
1. As Peterson likes to quote from Nietzsche, Western culture has lost its religion around the 19th century or earlier.
(Religion usually tells you to preserve your family & society & be responsible.)
2. Since the end of the cold war in the 20th century, the West has lost its fear of immediate death.
(Fear of death is a strong motivator to not be weak, as an individual and as a group.)
3. Since the beginning of industrialization, western countries have built progressively bigger welfare states.
(Fear of starvation, especially in old age, is a big motivator to be successful and raise a lot of successful children that can support you.)
Life used to be hardcore mode. Now it is recruit mode. So everyone became a noob.
Consequence 1: Loss of standards & rules
Since there is no general feeling of duty or danger, there is less pressure to conform to the "most productive" known way of life.
Traditional rules are relaxed and questioned. It's like society goes: "Why should I get up at 6 if I have nothing to do?"
Any old rule is automatically seen as obsolete and needlessly restrictive.
People care less about the future.
Consequence 2: Families become optional
There are no major cultural powers that promote family formation.
The church has an opinion, but it's become powerless.
The state doesn't see the need to raise millions of soldiers as cannon fodder.
So raising children is seen as a private, expensive and optional thing that is barely supported by Western states.
Consequence 3: Scavengers appear
When you can make money by exploiting someone, but the official rule against it was overturned, why should you not?
Transitioning children makes
You must be registered to see the links
from the health insurance system.
Creating group-based conflicts makes
You must be registered to see the links
from the people you convince to join your good cause.
Encouraging women to prioritize their career makes
You must be registered to see the links
for all employers by driving wages down.
[...]
The scavenger pattern is always the same 7 step cycle:
1. Find a "victim group (tm)"
2. Brainwash them to believe everything that happened in the past was oppression. For this, use their laziness and greed:
- "You deserve more money!"
- "You deserve more power!"
- "You deserve more freedom to follow your base instincts and fetishes!"
- "You deserve less pressure to be useful to society!"
- "No rules should apply to you!"
3. Convert as many "victims" as possible to drop all their life priorities and become fanatics:
4. Get the government to give the scavengers lots of positions in politics/media/education to "fix" the oppression problem
5. Get $$$
6. Use your influential connections to stop any public criticism of your motives. Everyone who is not with you, is for oppression.
7. Use your influential connections to start the next brainwashing campaign for the next victim group. Repeat forever.
(To be fair, a lot of religions operate in similar ways. But they are at least
old, so we already know their weaknesses and consequences. And the ones that survived until now are probably less bad than the ones that didn't.)
Consequence 4: Life becomes harder for people who contribute to society
With each revolution of the scavenger cycle:
- More scavengers divert more government resources to themselves
- Scavengers influence more people towards becoming scavengers or activists (and away from productivity)
- Scavengers create more censorship to avoid criticism
- Less children are born and educated properly
As a result, there are fewer capable people and fewer resources available to maintain society.
Investing in the future becomes harder for individuals and for states. Especially raising a family.
And political debates are killed before any scavenger-related problem can be solved.
Outlook
Everything will suck progressively more until it becomes unbearable.
Then societies will change (voluntarily or through outside influence) and get their shit together.
It ends when there is a new long-term focus. (Until it starts again.)
Everyone knows the meme cycle.

So to try to answer your point:
There is not one single movement trying to feminize men. Everyone does it. No one needs you to be mentally strong.
If you are strong and masculine, that benefits you alone.
Your family and girlfriend and boss would like you to be more compliant (to them at least).
Your colleagues see you as a rival.
People on the street see you as a potential danger.
People on the internet see you as a reminder that they have no Real Life.
The main danger is loss of drive through the rabbit hole of:
- life frustration
- withdrawal from life
- addiction to useless shit
- and finally inversion of values through justification of uselessness
But there are many forces that take their attempts to feminize men over the top:
- Women who were brainwashed by scavengers to be selfish & unattractive need men to

- The trans conversion industry needs customers
-

&

producers

femdom because a woman needs

to dominate a man. A lot of media online is just product placement! (For basic maledom, you just need your muscles. It's almost like it is simpler and more natural...)
- Media, Politics & Education are captured by scavengers who project their own values (that give them advantages):
- Meritocracy and fair competition are bad
- Objective rules/standards are bad
- Powerful positions should be given by quota to political friends (scavengers)
- All groups that have been brainwashed to drop their life goals and become useless hate the contrast given by masculine men and feminine women.
- All the different flavors of anti-competition people win by destroying competition and the competent and competitive.
One important way is to tell them:
"

to fulfill the role nature gave you to your
You must be registered to see the links
! Just try (

) at being something you are not!"
(Especially when it comes to economics, don't believe poor journalists and academics. If they were really good at economics, they would be rich.)

Also, everyone likes to have a world view that benefits them. And everyone then tries to push that worldview on others.
Everyone wants to build a work where people who are exactly like them have the best chances of success.
For example I think
autists who write bullshit essays on games forums should rule everything!
Last disclaimer before I stop my useless ranting and go back to real life:
This is an idea buffet without any proof. I realize myself that some things are exaggerated, inaccurate, inconsistent and wrong. Just take what matches your lived experience and have fun with building theories!
