The fact that men on the internet are fine with mocking, insulting, and ridiculing others online, but when those same men are out in public areas they clearly are not comfortable talking with strangers face to face and try to get away if someone shows a slightly aggressive behaviour proves why men are losers.
Do men feel good about being a punk, a coward, and a softie? Is that why there’s more men claiming to be a woman, because it’s easier for weak soft men to bend over and take it comapred to determined successful men who don’t accept defeat and fight for their accomplishments to achieve their goals?
It seems a lot of men are fine dying as a coward that people laugh at than die a hero that people mention with respect and publicly honour.
This is toxic masculinity, and the idea that men have to be successful, strong, brave, etc. hurts everyone.
Being ‘soft’ or ‘weak’ should be perfectly normal and accepted human traits. How about we allow men the space and patience to access and acknowledge their emotions, instead of placing some patriarchal ideal of how they have to be big, strong, rich, successful, dominant etc. on them?
Jumping on the occasion to recommend the community Menslib (from /r/menslib)
!mensliberation@lemmy.ca
It is focused on the struggle of being a man in this patriarchal society, while keeping a healthy mindset and constructive conversations.
I love this and wish all the best for your community!
