The reality is that manufacturing jobs are not going to rebound.  In an age of ever-increasing automation, there is just no future there.
I'm curious though - why are government, teaching, and healthcare jobs not good choices for men?   You say they are "female-friendly", but are they not just "human-friendly"?  Healthcare in particular is a growth industry - why wouldn't men choose a  career with a future?
I work in tech, and I can tell you there is no shortage of male software developers.  So clearly desk jobs are not biased towards women.
