I was very disappointed to wake up and read the comments. That everyone wants to say it's just toxic old men and it's their fault for not getting therapy. It's just nobody cares. Everytime I post about men's mental health, someone also post, but women get depressed to, thank you for proving my point that no one cares. Everyone either tries to erase the hardships of the male experience or tries to pretend they don't exist.
That if you suggest anything other that it's men's fault their depressed, your some kind of lizard brained men's right activist. That to point out that poor men cant be emotionally broken and isolated so they can be forced longer and longer hour, is wrong because of the patriarchy, but also their fault for not wanting to go to therapy.
But it's still an important discussion to have, so I really appreciate you posting this this morning comrade. Don't give up as there's value to pointing out that men suffer just as much under patriarchy and that they deserve the space to express themselves as well.
Talking with other men about how we need to work through internalized sexism / patriarchy doesn’t rule out other issues. It’s an actionable step toward bettering our conditions.
Acknowledging that men need to also combat sexism is not erasing our hardships.

This is one of the reasons why I've given up.

Are you talking about the comments here or what?
