Republican men seem massively troubled about their masculinity — and that’s literally causing death and suffering

    Ugh. In these comments I see we’ve evolved from “men should man up and stop whining” to “men should stop manning up and theoretically start whining, but in practice still stop whining actually.”

    It’s not their attitudes causing massive increases in suicides and deaths of despair, you fools. It’s material conditions. And it’s not caused by the right wing trolls who might try to take advantage. shoeonhead got it right imo

    Edit:

    I just read the article and it’s one of the stupidest and most beligerently ideological things I’ve ever read.

      Masculinity above logic is NOT the move

      Be "masculine, be “feminine,” nobody gives a fuck.

      Go to a therapist if you’re struggling with your mental health.

      Stop bringing your toxic-masculinity as an excuse to buy guns and hate minorities.

        The enormous numbers of people killing themselves are not necessarily buying guns or hating minorities. And therapy can only respond to pre-exisitng problems. If there are society-wide problems creating terrible living conditions, we need a society-wide prevention scheme.

        Or you can spew vile hatred and pretend it’s because you’re against hatred.
