going by this logic you would think women, LGBT, and POC would be killing themselves more but apparently men commit more suicides because of patriarchy

Kinda wish someone would throw a grenade in there and remind everyone that "men" includes POC too.

 

[Nehezir]

oh...I don't know. maybe if whenever mens' groups organized and held a convention, womens' groups didn't ccome up and start shrieking at people they don't know, calling them a sexist...maybe, just maybe there would be less misogyny in the world.

Because that sounds like a hell of a reason to start to develop some animosity against women.

Remember when I threatened to kill myself at the start of this week? This is the start of the new Exhausted Walrus storyline for this season.

So Cuties i guess has been released. Are they still trying to downplay the backlash against the movie. I'd check, but i want as little to do with that movie as possible.

Especially when you've been stuck in an on again and off again long distance relationship for five years

Surely being married won't reveal any major problems.

"Toxic masculinity" is such a dangerous concept

Yeah, so toxic, to be a man's man and take care of business. There should be pride in that, not shame.

Funny this topic comes up in any low level college psychology class. For people who claim to be educated this is funny . The reaso they have a higher suicide rate is because they actually have the force to go through with it and choose methods that are more likely to succeed. A male might shoot themselves where a female might slit thier wrists. In fact female suicide attempts are higher than males despite males having a higher suicide rate. Again that's due to the method. Hell they could probably spin this post as sexism.

It's in the works and mods over there are just twitching to perma ban the second someone points this out. Not trying to derail this but they like to post about movies a lot (from the clips I've read in this chat...never actually going over there to see things for myself); what happens if you mention that Clint Eastwood is a national symbol of masculinity. I figure anything that mentions masculinity or the fact that it exists is instantly banned.

Isn't he just a PR guy? He doesn't code that's for sure.

Also, never forget;

Upper Management at 343 Industries accused of sexually grooming a 19/20yr old. (See Threadmark)

"The Janitor is not what he seems." Empress Cortana is accusing a well known Halo figure, and Upper Management at 343 Industries, of sexually grooming her at the age of 19/20. She doesn't mention him by name, but I think it's safe to assume who she's talking about: The Janitor. EDIT...

One of my sisters tried (sounds awful to say tried)

She smashed a glass bottle and cut seriously deep into her arm.

Sitting in that hospital ward was something I'll never forget

Boys raised with a father figure are:

-Less likely to commit crimes

-Less likely to deal drugs

-Less likely to grow up or end up in poverty

-Perform better in school

-Report higher self-esteem and lower rates of depression/anxiety

Compared to boys raised by single mothers.

So, where's all this "toxic masculinity" I keep hearing about?

When men talk about their issues and feelings they're just dismissed with '' you're privileged '' tho.
Whenever I see people shitting on men and being extremely cruel towards them and I call it out they're always all like '' hahaha male tears ''.

There's a great thread about a guy realizing Era has Discord offshoots and the comments are just under the radar to getting attention/banned.

Lots of "that's where everyone goes to say what they REALLY think" or "it's where everyone goes to complain about this place" and then subsequent members not in the know just being bewildered by their utopia being dragged.

Oh, can you point me in the direction of that place that was the pinnacle paradigm of itself, and yet somehow spontaneously inverted into form seemingly entirely antithetical to its original underlying intention, becoming the very thing it claimed to denounce?

For sure.
You have this society wide, constant, criticism of men that takes many forms with some people engaging in outright attacks on male identity.
Then the same people doing that start complaining loudly when dudes try to form their own support networks.
All of this propped up by pop culture, mainstream news and media, academia etc.

I am convinced that at lest SOME of the trend in dudes choosing to identify as chicks is down to a desire to just escape from that bullshit.
It always seemed suspicious to me that trans "true believers" who are full on SJWs just happen to have changed their identity at some point.
Like, isn't that convenient that they found a loophole to leave the attacked group only to immediately and enthusiastically join the ranks of attackers.

Then they can't fathom how guys like Jordan Peterson become so very popular and they even have a meltdown over that.
"What the fuck!? The people we are constantly attacking are gravitating towards people who are willing to defend them! Reeeeeeeee!"

A crazy idea might be to give these "men's groups" a bit of space.
Don't misrepresent them.
Don't encourage mainstream media to misrepresent them.
Have a listen to what they have to say but also be skeptical, that's fine.

That's interview with Jordan Peterson and the "so what you're saying is..." lady is the perfect example of how places like ResetEra behave.
They can't just listen to what other people have to say and take those words at face value.
They have to reinterpret everything and then frame it in the worst way possible.

"We just want to have a group that discusses male suicide and mental health etc."
So what you're saying is... you want a group that excludes women?
"No, no, we just enjoy having a few hours a week in a male-only space where we can discuss male-only issues."
So what you're saying is... you hate women so much you need to take a break from them once a week?
"Um... you know what? Forget about it."
So what you're saying is... we should just ignore the gender pay gap and the lack of female superhero movies?

OK.

I'd guess the problem is that they have committed themselves too much to the theories of Patriarchy and Misogyny and Toxic Masculinity that it's the only way they know how to frame the real world. So even when men have genuine and serious problems they've been conditioned to immediately look for the way that "men caused this" can be true.

Man wants to kill himself. "It's that awful toxic masculinity. If only you'd been raised to be less male. Why are you men the way you are?"
Man transitions to trans-woman. "Stunning and brave."
Trans-woman wants to kill herself. "Oh my god this society is the worst! You poor thing! We need a special day of awareness! Where can I donate to help?"

This is one of the issues that drives people away from religious organizations.

Part of the grab is that the religion offers some answers to life's problems, but inevitably your tire will burst on the highway or you'll get fired from a job or a loved one comes down with a serious disease, something that a scripture verse or mantra won't be able to solve. And when the naive, well-meaning churchgoer smiles at you and says "it's okay, God loves you anyway", that can feel like a knife in the gut. People still want to be treated like people, not just rank members of The Group.

The progressive ideologues also lack understanding here. They've been brainwashed to believe their solution is Correct, and everything else is just an awkward detail along the way. What do you mean you're suffering? I'm liberating you! the BLM activist says as they burn down another black business.

Because it's always been about oppression olympics. If you're not on the podium, your life doesn't matter. Look at how well they handled the asian summit because asians aren't discriminate against enough. Even when talking about real life issues for men such as how most kids are blindly given to the mother in a divorce, they always say it's an issue BUT and then some handwaving excuse of how there's more important issues.

It's worth pointing out their hypocrisy on the "if you try to address it honestly it gets dragged off topic by bad people" angle too.

MRAs - They make some valid points but too many bad people in the movement.
GamerGate - They raise some valid issues but too many bad people in the movement.

OK.

going to add something to this. Women complain about "Boy's Clubs" and other things or spaces that don't include them.

but women LOVE to huddle up into women-only spaces. or worship their gender and everything associated with it. they love to collectivize based on their womanhood. How many times have you seen media that emphasized female bonding and building up of the "Sisterhood"? There was a lot of it in the 80s and 90s. Women love to use taking shelter amongst female-only spaces as a narrative. I've started started calling it "Coven Mentality", after the way it plays in with witches. Do any of you have a commonplace awareness of Political Gaybois? They exist but aren't widely thought of. On the other hand, the concept of Political Lesbians is decades old at this point, and even something feminists in the...I think 2nd Wave? would semi-frequently acknowledge with pride.

Which is fine to do. But don't be such a damn hypocrite about it.
