Not surprising when there is no sense of community, people dont talk, social media poisoned society, jobs and careers are too difficult to achieve, houses are too expensive, news is biased groupthink and everything is a competition.
Your list and explanations are pretty solid. The only one that I will quibble with is Worker. I don't believe that what you do is important rather, how you approach your work and seek reward for it. You can sit behind a screen and code all day with a latte on your desk. If you give great effort, collaborate maturely, and lead with quiet confidence, then that is very manly. If you are a little punk that jabbers all day long, has to announce every little thing that you do, and you openly compete with others for attention, then you fail the test of masculinity. It's not necessary to be a soldier, plumber, or CEO. In fact, many of the most impressive people that I have known are educators, advocates, and Peace Corps volunteers.
My model of masculinity was my grandfather. He worked hard, loved his family, was always thankful for what he had, and his passion was a large vegetable garden that fed his household and several of his neighbors. He didn't buy multiple expensive cars, brag about how much money he had, or boast about getting scores of skanks in his youth. Sadly, that's what passes for masculinity today. I respect Jordan Peterson's simple messaging (before he became an alt-right celebrity) and laugh at people like Andrew Tate that try way too hard.
Bottom line, the best men are strong of character, kind, protective, empathetic, giving and genuinely confident. Fake men construct facades to protect their egos, are self-absorbed, belittle others to hide their insecurities, plus act in a loud and profane way to merit attention.

All the media does is attack and incite attacks upon the strongest people and groups while attempting to per.vert the mass minds and weaken society. Time to wake up.

I keep seeing people throw the world 'incel' about, but the lads I see who are most frustrated are those who, for 99.9% of humanity's 200,000 year history, would be taking their (relatively short) turn as the leaders of their small hierarchies, but are instead subjected to a completely unnatural state of being.
Consequently, every cell in their body, courtesy of millions of years of evolution, is in a daily battle with their carefully conditioned 21st century mind. Hence the depression, existentialism, feelings of impotence etc. It's like putting an animal in a cage.

Deep thoughts there. I do think we ignore our primate nature to our peril. The discussion about the size of communities in Homo Deus does seem to resonate with me at times in concert with what you seem to be saying.

So in essence they’re weak b*stards and angry.
You could have saved a lot of time and just said that.

That's the point, they're not weak ********, nor are they necessarily cognisant of the unnatural state in which they find themselves.
This isn't exactly revolutionary thinking. Look at the average height of presidents, corporate execs / CEOs etc. Deep down, we all know what's what. The human beings at the top of the evolutionary hierarchy are physically capable & intelligent men.
That's the exact group who've been under a steady bombardment over the past 10 odd years in Anglo-Western culture.

Ok, so you’re one of the weak b*stard too, got it.
This list is racist: "4) Married, active father to 2-4 children. You must live in the same house with those children and the mother, and you must take care of them financially and emotionally. You can't be a BAD father and be a man."
He's excluding 70% of black people, but only 30% of whites and 10% of Asians (who are 'adjacent to whiteness' anyway, according to wokes I know).
Many young men have given up traditionally masculine things like knowing how to fix a car, do basic home repair, take charge of a situation, etc, in favor of wearing skinny pants, making dance videos, and playing video games.
