Mad VillainThere is no ‘men’s loneliness crisis.’
It’s just a bunch of dudes who want to be entitled assholes, but don’t want deal with the consequences of being an entitled asshole.
Just don’t be an entitled asshole and you’ll be fine.
Maggie Maybe@are0h furthermore, if it was real, how was it women’s responsibility to fix that?
We aren’t stopping men from making friends with other men or from supporting each other.
We aren’t the ones pushing toxic masculinity on men. Sure maybe somebody’s boomer mom told them men don’t cry or whatever, but part of being a grown-up is evolving beyond your childhood problems. And it’s not women’s job to make that happen.
@maggiejk It feels like a lot of men have been taught these caricatures of manhood in their youth and it will get them the life they want.
When the reality of that doesn’t match their aspirations, many fellas don’t know who to blame because masculinity taught under the precepts of whiteness never teaches self reflection.
But I agree with you about the disconnect: at some point you gotta look at yourself. A lot of men don’t want to accept they are their own worst enemy.
@are0h I also suspect that capitalism thought that using women as a carrot to get men to participate more was a good idea. (That #RedPill “women do #hypergamy!!” thing they bang on about.)
And now it has backfired because men suffering under capitalism are blaming women for their suffering rather than capitalism.
Though that doesn’t hurt #capitalism, that just hurts humans who are suffering and blaming and being blamed.
@maggiejk I honestly think it hurts capitalism too with the way these folks that run tech companies are obsessed with AI to replace people.
It’s just bad all the way around.
