While I agree with the premises raised by OP and in the video, I also think it's important to realize we are very much in technological hyperacceleration that has blessed and cursed us as transitional generations. For example, I see the most overtly manipulative female behavior in women born in the 30s through the 60s, the rawest femcvnts IME, and it seems to tail off rapidly after that with some cultural holdouts. Won't go into possible causes for this. Those old 50-60 something Marxist mememe *****s in academia and media still have strong influence on the impressionable, weakminded young, which causes ripples through the unintelligent left side of the female intelligence bell curve, but their "oomph" is fading rapidly, and terminally so among brighter younger women in the U.S IME.
Many very young women and recent postadolescents I meet, children of family and friends, are functioning along different gender relations lines and seem better, more honest people overall than the women of my generation and the ones immediately preceding and subsequent. I don't see so many young women getting what they want by working Daddy or other men in the way that paradigm played out for ages prior and even in my own life in the past. Frankly I don't see lots of intentional manipulation in those younger women I meet these days. Things are much more straightforward with them, so I think the transition may be playing out into "who knows what comes next?"
I also believe that younger men are more prone to misinterpret the massive sexual power imbalance possessed by young fertile women through human history to date as "manipulation" unduly sometimes (though there is plenty of legitimately identifiable manipulation of men by women). Just because one feels "compelled" doesn't follow that one is necessarily being intentionally manipulated.
Admittedly, am optimistic about this, as there is really nowhere but up to go where the general quality of women in the U.S. and industrialized West are concerned. Hope my optimism is not misplaced and that we exit the transitional phase soon. There is tons of antifeminist backlash out there by women signifying we may be growing a better crop of them for the future.
