I’m sorry I know men’s mental health is important but I tbh it just shows how toxic men are that they use their awareness month to try and blame the men’s mental health crisis on anyone other than the toxic culture they themselves set up.

mens mental health month is the same month as pride?

This. I’m all for supporting men’s health (both physical and mental) but it’s difficult to be an outspoken advocate for it when the conversation inevitably ends with that conclusion every time, deferring the blame to anyone and anything but the patriarchy. It’s also always so black and white, as if pride month is taking away from other advocacy. You can advocate for more than one thing at a time.

Two sides to every coin, my dear. Apply this same lens (i.e., that it’s NOT always so black & white) & apply it everywhere. You’ll understand a piece of the world a bit better every time. The wonderful thing is you’re both right and wrong at the same time! So am I!
