Kids rely on their fathers AND their mothers. Women don’t rely on men but they do need support. Men need support. This isn’t some alpha male shit. Men are allowed to open up instead of bottling emotions until exploding.

PEOPLE rely on PEOPLE, this imaginary division is one of the reasons we still have gender wars in 2025. We need to come together and realize all we have is each other.

THANK YOU. It takes so much more energy to be upset with someone. I’d rather be chill and laugh with them, not get mad because they’re different. It takes a village to raise children but it also takes a village to raise each other

Then they need to open up more. They’re not taken seriously because they’re expected to be “manly” and strong. Real strength is admitting when you’re wrong and down. Real strength is also allowing others to help you while you still strive for your independence. I’m a girl so I can’t entirely relate but as a person, I can understand how that would be so upsetting to not be taken seriously

Very true. But what if you talk and he still doesn’t think he needs others? It’s clear that nobody else agrees that men should be independent and idk if enough people think that, maybe he’d think he’s wrong

Idk if we interpreted what he said the same way, I interpreted it as him saying thats how things were and it was out of his control. Which is a situation some people are unfortunately in and they need support. If anything especially the end where he asked men to talk to men, it sounded like he didn’t want men to be independent.

Some of us have real strength, but are often ignored entirely or treated like our issues don’t matter. I know a lot of men that feel like ghosts the way we can literally talk about killing ourselves and be completely ignored. I also don’t think this issue is entirely unique to men. I’m so glad I found a therapist and encouraged my friends to do the same.

If men were built for war, why did all that stuff result from men. You’re also discrediting the millions of service women across the world who choose to fight for their countries. Sociology is a bunch of old people trying to rationalize an innately irrational world. Top 5 most fraudulent things of all time, up there with SGA 2025 MVP as most fraudulent things of all time.
