you're wrong, we need vastly stronger men in the west
Okay 🤷🏻♀️ That’s the exact mindset that makes men have the highest rate of suicide. Maybe “strength” can be redefined.
why do you think mindset is the driver for suicide?
The way society traditionally defines strength is essentially “don’t feel your emotions and don’t express your feelings because it’s weak.” It’s only socially acceptable for men to be stoic and angry. Men aren’t allowed to have feelings or experiences that aren’t masculine (toxically masculine). Therefore, men do not feel safe enough to seek out mental health help and struggle alone.
Don’t count your chickens, as they say, even though this is a relatively-new arena of people. Case in point: the carnivore diet. Who’s posting pics of their all-steak meals? Smiling, well-built men, of course, who feel the only emotion that real men feel: hunger. That’s because, when dudes are hungry, they eat dead stuff and become more badass. That badassness makes them hungry to work out, drink beer, and get laid. That’s the circle of life, bro. You see, the reason for that is because men were made to eat meat, not like you women who eat stuff like fruit and vegetables and whatnot. That nutrition crap is as fake as spray-on dirt on a brand new Jeep.
Also, I won’t stop posting about the way men deserve to live freely. If you have an issue, click the mute button.
of course, i'm genuinely curious what you think, i don't agree with you, white men in the west have been constantly mocked and belittled in western media and family law has been weaponized against them
If men listened to women they would (mostly) hear that it’s okay to be vulnerable and have/express their emotions. But the toxic masculinity and toxic view of strength (often upheld by other men) continue to keep men in a box. White men are of course victims of this toxicity, but they also inflict their stuff onto marginalized groups. I understand how this type of conditioning impacts men, but white men are not victims of this world. Everyone else is.
oh i get it now, you're just a communist
BAHAHAHAHA
why would you be seeking to weaken men?
actually now i think of it why don't you put your zaps where your mouth is and let's debate this on a video or voice call and post it back on here?
Dude you asked for genuine responses and I gave them, then your responses lacked any thought or value. You clearly think you’ve got it figured out and I’m happy for you! This isn’t a valuable conversation or worth my time. Keep doing you!
of course you won't debate me :)
Understanding how a human brain works - and how you experience and process information - is an opportinity to *increase* your strength and your ability to interact with and influence others. And be happier and more confident (real confidence, not just yelling words louder than someone else). I sounded more like you back when I was in my teens/20s. So I get it. But, hope you can manage to get past it.
YES! I’m trying to zap your response but it won’t let me 😭
Yes, but the mental foundation needs to be rebuilt.
what do you mean by that?
