Men who conform to traditional gender roles are at a higher risk of suicide - Mander

Lemmy

it’s stressful, spending a lifetime pretending to not be as sensitive as a de-scrotum’d testicle

Or they take their role as provider more seriously and when they fail, they do what they see as only way out...

But sure... It is about being "sensentive" 🤡

is suicide really the right topic to unfold politics?
Got anything worthwhile to offer, or are you just in line to touch the coffin lid and say the words in the hope that you feel something?

sorry, i was just too irritated by sunzu2’s comment, and - reading their other comments now - their general attitude on male mental health.

and no, i don’t have to hold a lid or say the words to feel the pain, thanks ;)

My apologies, neighbor. I hope you find the joy in life you seek, genuinely. 🙇🏽‍♂️
You’re part of the problem.
Please reconsider this. The sensitivity that OP is talking about is like the hunger that a starving person feels. Men who haven't ever been allowed to deal with their feelings will be more sensitive as their bodies scream at them to acknowledge years resentment, burden, anger, anxiety, and fear. A man committing suicide to get away from emotional deprivation is like a starving person committing suicide even though they could have access to food. Men don't have to be providers for others, and it they choose to, they don't have to suffer silently and thanklessly under a yolk as the world whips them. You can take care of someone while also getting your emotional needs met.

Men who haven't ever been allowed to deal with their feelings

The only people not allowing this are themselves... i am sorry these bootlickers can't grow a backbone and act in their own self interest.

Blaming "toxic" masculinity because losers can't think for themselves is is toxic muscularity in of itself.

Serving some rich dude's need is not masculine, ie "I work hard to provide but I never see my kids is not a flex btw." it is not masculine.

I don't know how we got to the point where bootlicking became toxic masculinity. Any man with self respect treats other men telling them what to do as a threat actor lol

So, how long has it been since you’ve had a hug that meant something?
