  • Try to see it from the other side, though. I know that equality is the utopian goal. But you must know how it feels when you are having a hard to deal with emotion, and you come to someone with it and get shut down. Receiving "women deal with this to" as a response when you just want to feel heard and listened to it hard.

    Men also I'm general don't receive the emotional training in society that women do. So reaching out and trying to work through an emotion they don't really understand, only to be told that women have it worse is a perpetration of toxic masculinity imo.

    Treating the other gender as an infant is a huge problem within our society, no doubt. But when dealing with emotions, men are, for the most part, uneducated. Emotional maturity is mostly a person by person and emotion by emotion discussion.

    Yes you can say that most problems men face women face too. But men face them alone. Earlier, you asked if a man would feel more safe asking another man to walk them to the train station, of course they would. But would they feel entitled to ask a man to go out of their way to help them feel safe? I would walk a woman anywhere and even offer if it were at all sketchy. Ive never asked any man to make me feel more safe other than my single best friend who I've not spoken to in months.

  • I can't say you should feel anything, simply that I've felt as though society doesn't want my help due to my gender. Therefore, could extrapolate that into a reason other men might feel that way.

    I don't understand people generally, but I do my best to give people the benefit of the doubt.

  • I think there is also a legitimate response here to the general acceptance of "all men should just die" rhetoric that was popular for a while there (and still is in some circles).

    When I was young I told a girlfriend that I wanted to get into politics to help people. She responded, "but you are a white man, you can't help anyone" or something of the like. Really sticks with you.

  • The one I say themost is probably that there are 10 times as many germ cells in your body as human cells, but due to their size it is only around 8 pounds of your weight.

    But the one I love the most is that there are more unique ways to shuffle a deck of cards than there are grains of sand on Earth.

  • I would give it away by making college trust funds for poor kids in my area until I had the 4-5 million left that I would need to retire and never work again. Why anyone has more money than that is beyond me.
