    No one does.

    They tell you to open up and talk about your emotions, to be vulnerable and they leave you cause you’re weak, and spread rumors about your sexuality (because straight men arent supposed to have feelings) when you do.

    You ask for help, and you get ridiculed and called weak and told endless stories about how hard real victims/women have it.

    Anything you do except suffer in silence is unacceptable.

    And just by the gods make sure you don’t make your silent suffering to noticeable to impact others, because god damn then the ridicule and the “well ackshually”-ing about other peoples suffering will really start.

        Gonna have to find me a whole new intelligent species if you don’t want to be surrounded by a society that does this.

          You can’t fix the world, but you can at least influence who you personally interact with. Easier said than done, but any little incremental improvement still means today is better than yesterday.

          Hopefully the folks on here have been mostly good to you!

      You’re technically right. But the fundamental flaw in your logic is not obeying the #1 rule in everyone’s life (at least it should be) :

      Keep toxic people out of your life, no matter their sex. Women can be the same pieces of shit that men can be. The statistical quantification or prevalence by trend doesn’t matter. Keep. Them. Out. Period. Family, friend, coworkers, significant others? Whatever. OUT!

      And if you end up being totally lonely by this? Well. Still better being totally lonely than being under the foot of an arsehole just not to be lonely.

      There are awesome people out there. You just got to weed out a legion of sand before finding a pearl. Or two.

      Wisdoms of an old, misanthropic, eremitic fart.

      Yeah, being a man hasn’t changed over the years.

      Those who succumb to feminist bullshit aren’t rewarded; they’re chastised.

        Has nothing to do with feminism.

        Its this toxic idea of stoicism, that men arent supposed to be anything but strong and not feel anything but anger, thats the problem.

          It actually has a lot to do with feminism.

          As soon as men start behaving like women, they start being less attractive to women.

          Women won’t tell you this, so you’ll have to figure it out yourself using your powers of observation.
