| Topic | Study: "Tough Men" are more likely to kill themselves |
| tigerslashII 02/22/20 9:05:54 PM #61: | The part that grinds my gears is men are generally expected to carry this persona of masculinity with none of the benefits that previously accompanied it. Just roll back the clock a handful of decades and you see stoic, strong men holding jobs, providing for families, being pillars of their communities, being providers and hard workers etc. Even if they weren't allowed to be emotional and even if they were considered basically disposable, they got something out of it; pride and respect. What do men get now for shouldering that same burden? Derision and scorn. You working hard at the job? Your boss doesn't care, you'll never get a raise and chances are you'll be replaced by someone in 5 years who will do it cheaper or else be replaced by a robot. Your wife won't care because she's busy working too. Your kids don't care because they hardly see you between daycare and school and extracurriculars. Men, especially successful men, are blamed for everything from crime rates to college enrollment statistics to office layouts to sock fashion, because the world is a giant bucket and every crab is given a Buzzfeed or Jezebel article to write. --- Get a loada this guy here. https://imgur.com/5fTKLaM ...
