When considering the statistics that men are 99% of war victims and, depending on the source, a majority to overwhelming majority of suicides. Men are also the majority in workplace deaths. With all of this danger being the responsibility of men, is it any wonder that toxic masculinity had it's heydey? In order to survive those dangers at every turn men had no choice but to become tough and unfeeling. Add to that the very real possibility that a woman can force you to unwittingly raise another man's child. It makes me wonder how men stayed sane at all. Yet this social imperative survives and persists to this day with women ardently defending the idea that it is solely men's responsibility to work dangerous jobs and go to war. Inherent in this problem (and many other men's issues) is a startling and depressing lack of empathy, compassion, and sympathy towards men. What do we do?

I think what I do, as a man living in this world. Is nothing to do with whatever numbers these are. Call me callous, but if suicide stats, workplace deaths, and war victims are apparently almost all men, then I won't upset the status quo. It's been working well so far, and I know I find happiness around anyone in a nontoxic manner. If some numbers make a guy view women differently, I can tell what kind of guy that is. Everyone can be deserving of empathy, compassion, and sympathy if they earn that. But appealing to emotion and painting one group as fully a victim, really shows how one views the other group. Maybe self reflect on how these views came to be?

Bring masculinity back. Support your fellow men in taking charge of their lives. Stop letting feminists tell men how to be men.

Maturity very important

It's harder to date a mature person because they require you to be real and present, and this why many people never succeed at relationships. They keep gravitating towards immature people because there they only need to do external things to manage the person. They term this as working on the... read more

It's not just me, right?

I'm not the only one who notices this right? Everything cost money. The air you breathe cost money, the water you drink cost money. Vegetables cost money. All the things that we had for free, unlimited and natural access to, has been hoarded and priced. You have to pay just to be alive at this... read more

What if you could not make your own decisions, but you had to choose someone else to make them for you? Who would you choose and why?
