Everyone should read ‘The Body Keeps the Score’ if they haven’t already. I have a running theory that most men pushing the narrative you’re describing came from a line of emotional neglect/abuse so difficult to deal with at a young age they’ve been pushed into being people who are turned off emotionally and are constantly “locked in” as a means of self defense that’s become a habit they feel safe in doing. Many of these men use the anger you describe (with aid from a male-favoring workforce) to fuel successful careers but that’s all they see themselves as. These people are glorified by other people, too, for sacrificing so much of themselves and keeping quiet. I feel like it’s such an easy rabbit hole to slip into because it contributes to the current late stage capitalist system’s sentiment of “shut up, work, and deal with it after you’ve accumulated x amount of money”
Lmao, it's funny how i agree with you a lot on so many things you post about, i've been a men's rights and mental health advocate for years now! plus the whole capitalism stuff and Alan Watts! wth!
This is my new favourite video on the internet💖
