Scholar identifies alarming trends among US men

We know what those social policies are. We do not enact them. Why? Because men do not want to enact them because what they provide is not seen as "manly."
There is nothing mysterious here. Woman in general decided they wanted better, and men are holding on to an oppressive mindset. We can't revert back to what it once was, because that was walking on the backs of others.
But there is a LOT of opposition to that way of thinking and that mindset, from both men and women.
For example, the issue of gender balance in tech is widely discussed and taken seriously. The issue of gender balance in prisons is not.
It's not that you can't do both, it's that we haven't, and a primary reason for that is the incumbent political climate, which needs to change.
I find it hard to believe women's rights has anything to do with the decline of men's social health
if you so much as blush at the wrong girl she could get the wrong idea and you're almost maybe a predator. if you're an older male and you offer any kind of help to children you're a predator.
women are highly encouraged to leave their men, get abortions, etc.
more and more women are taught to see men as toxic, or manliness as toxic. there was a whole thread freaking out because an exec had a VR pillow fight with hot girls, who cares?!
Why is this a bad thing?
People should be free to live their lives as they choose.
cringe.
single mothers do a much worse job than a normal family structure. we could use more good people. humans are amazing, less is worse.
> People should be free to live their lives as they choose.
who said otherwise? but, that's certainly not what's happening if you're taking money from people's pockets and giving it to their neighbor if they leave their husband. that's _getting paid_ to live your life a certain way, splitting up your family.
I was a youth camp counselor, just don't be a creep with youglings and you're fine. Keep the doors open though.
I made a friend leave her abusive boyfriend by hosting her for four months. I would've done the same if she had a kid, but I'm happy there is social services to help women without support in the same situation.
And I disagree. I used to be fat (32 BMI), and had no that much trouble finding new dates, but it still wasn't easy. Now I'm still too heavy for what I want to do, but more built than fat, 'manly' if you will (sharper face at least, and defined arms muscles), and it's way, way easier. I don't have to seek outside my interest groups to find partners anymore. Manliness is still highly sought imho.
Some shocking statistics: more children are sexually abused at school than by a pastor/whatever at church. Plenty of women abuse children, if your point is men are abusers or something?
Good thing I created a throwaway account so that the background check investigators for my high-stakes job won't be able to link this sentiment to my real identity. After all, I am responsible for a lot of people.
Does this sentiment make a person better or worse at their job? I’ve heard it’s impossible for a human mind to imagine its own death. Someone with the raw creativity or intelligence to do that might be more helpful than not?
I constantly wonder, however, if my true purpose is to be a failure. Maybe God needs someone for others to point at and say "see that guy, don't live your life that way."

Thank you for sharing this. Incredible bluntness explanation of our reality - and ourselves.
There are plenty of them already. The shortage God has are the people who look at where they are, maybe not the best place, and look for the steps to climb out. They’re sometimes hidden but they’re always there, sometimes in plain sight.
but may I offer a way forward? How about living out of spite, to outlive all your enemies and detractors, all the idiots who get to breathe air for free?
it's not a happy thought, but it may provide for you to live longer, and who knows, life indeed might be rosy, and if not, at-least you didn't give any quarter to the dumbos, you will have fought the good fight.
male suicide rates have been approx double those of female suicide rates for at least thirty years (and likely centuries),
suicide rates overall have been falling for the past three decades.

So: black people: cool, get holidays. White people uncool, no holidays. Ditto for women and men.
