  • Maybe he should start with himself then?

    Berating men for not controlling the behavior of other men is peak “toxic masculinity”. I am not responsible for other men any more than women are responsible for other women, or white/black people responsible for other white/black people.

    problem we have collectively created.

    I have not created any problems, as I have always treated people equally, the same as I would want to be treated. If you, Mr Minister have been a sexist asshole, don’t project that on me. And I am not a part of a collective. Assigning blame based on belonging to demographic is the core principle of bigotry.

    Seriously, just imagine if he said black people in positions of power must take lead in tackling toxic black culture. That would be completely unacceptable, as it should be, and as this should be.



  • I will probably get shit for this, since it’s a predominantly left leaning space, but until society starts acknowledging men’s issues it will keep getting worse.

    https://afsp.org/suicide-statistics

    In 2021, men died by suicide 3.90x more than women.

    In 2021, firearms accounted for 54.64% of all suicide deaths.

    This article is an excellent example of what I am talking about. It does not even mention the disparity of suicide rates between the sexes despite it obviously being a huge outlier. Instead, they talk about how guns are the problem, even though a gun is just a method.

    Taking away the easy methods to commit suicide might reduce the rate, but it does nothing to address to core issues that make people want to kill themselves in the first place. Instead of 5000 dead people you will have 5000 people who wish they were dead. Mission accomplished.
