Those unhappy with endless male ingredients (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

malcontents

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'those unhappy' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'with endless male ingredients' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'ingredients' becomes 'contents'.
'male' with its last letter removed is 'mal'.
'mal' next to 'contents' is 'MALCONTENTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for malcontents that I've seen is " Unhappy chappies".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
