Thanks. It doesn't need to be manipulation, but it is a place where women feel superior to men and frequently have agency over us. While it's easy for men and women to feel hypo-agentic around college and job opportunities, in my experience most women have experience either straight up manipulating, or at least leading around us dumb men by the nose. Maybe manipulation is too strong of a word, but that kind of quiet guiding of men's behavior that women do, it's an entirely different emotional se…

Also, for anyone passing by, I'd like to note how the comment above is hypo-agentic, in that it lets the commenter off the hook, because why bother doing anything if people are irretrievably broken.

Well the first step is giving people the chance.

The root of the matter is hyper-agency for men, and hypo-agency for women. Until we drag this out of our collective Jungian shadow and start addressing it, there isn't going to be much movement on men's issues. Instead of pushing back on facts, I'm starting to believe we should be asking women to explore the situations where they manipulate men in their life. Simple questions like, "Have you ever manipulated a man?" This opens a door to a rebalancing of the agency question, whereas talking about…

That is good to hear. Glad she's on the mend. It'd be bad if you had to do emotional labor to take care of her feelings about it, and maybe worse if she didn't believe you, so I understand why you wouldn't want to tell her. At the same time, and this is not to say that you should tell her, we have to start speaking up about these double standards. Because right now she thinks you had the same experience. So maybe in a week or two, when things have calmed down, you could just say to her "remember…

Thanks for posting this. What a gut punch. I'm sorry for what you're going through and I'm glad your kid is ok. I'd be really curious to hear about your wife's reaction to this. I hope you tell her when the time is right. This is such a powerful illustration of the differences in empathy that men and women experience.

Rocky, I hate that you feel like you had to apologize at the end. That's just more sign of how invalidated men's emotions are. You have every right to express this opinion and I"m pretty sure there are dudes here on this sub that are here to listen. You might check out the work of Jonice Webb on Emotional Neglect. She's got a ton of great blog posts and a really useful book called Running on Empty. You do not need to toughen up. Your emotions are legitimate and sensitive people are a boon to the…

Totally agree. Collectively we are not ready to confront our shadow, so we're still looking around for other people to blame. I think William Golding talked about this as the transition between 2nd and 3rd level thinking. We're identifying more and more contradictions in other people, which is making us smarter, but we're not yet exporting those insights to ourselves in large enough numbers. But more and more people are doing this (dudes here are a good example) so I think we're making progress …

I feel you. Agree completely. When people blame you for things that aren't on you, it's hard not to get a bit angry. I really don't think people appreciate how frequently men, especially sensitive men, hear the message that we're dog shit trash and don't deserve to live. It's pervasive and super damaging.

Every single one of us has a responsibility to increasingly treat other people like people. As men, we are conditioned to take responsibility, so it's going to be easier for us to do it first. But I think one of the big things we need to do is condition women to take responsibility... in subtle ways, like OP asking his sister how she thinks the dude she's dating would feel about it.

This is why I would ask her. She has likely never thought about it, or considered that he would have feelings about it. One time my sister said to me and her husband, "Men are just less complicated, right?" in reference to men's feelings. Given that I have a lifetime of being 'complicated', I was pretty surprised myself. And when I called her on it, she was really surprised to hear that I believed I had as complex of an inner world as she did. (I do.) Many other times, women have been surprised …

I have had a number of situations in my life in which women have been truly SURPRISED to find out that men have feelings. Many women do not believe that men have feelings at all. We are not people to them, just as women are not people to many misogynistic men. Have you asked her how she thinks he would feel about this?

You sound like an A+ friend. Good stuff. I agree with you. I think that any political or organized effort will be met with stiff resistance, but what we as individuals have a responsibility to try and buck the tradcon role for ourselves, and show other people that it's doable. It's VERY difficult. Not going to write a boring personal novel here, but I'd say I've been doing this too for many years. I was raised in part by lesbians (joint custody) and was taught to cry as a young man. This has bee…

Women DO convince each other to endure hardship. It's called parenthood. My mom is an OG late 60s NOW leader. She read Warren Farrell in the 70s and agreed with it. And after much conversation and documentation, she's pretty clear that today's feminism is not what they intended. A lot of the oppression that women face comes from the expectations of other women. But because our society and the individuals in it haven't integrated our Jungian shadow (where we project all the stuff we hate about ou…

Almost every time. If you're a man and you express emotion or stick up for your needs/wants, you better watch out. People will get mad. But I think we should note that this is OFTEN true for women as well. Nobody is allowed to express themselves if it doesn't align with the groupthink (which is largely controlled by women socially, and largely controlled by men in the board room).

This is outstanding. Great idea. And it just comes down to each of us who sees a brother in emotional trouble, that we create a space for him to be vulnerable. That often means going first. Can be tricky... But if you show a little vulnerability (not too much) than it gives others the opportunity to do so as well. Curious, OP, what are your thoughts on operationalizing this?

To be fair, they don't understand the risks. They can't see them.

Good to know. I literally am growing a database of mining companies (slowly) so that's going in the notes. Thanks!

Rad. Thanks for that insight. I can see why it would be framed this way in light of that. Though I never understand why people fight to be exploited. I'm all for gender equality in mining. But I'm also all for people not dying young to make others rich because of mining.

Heard. I'm not hopeful it will. Seems to go hand-in-hand with right wing fascism. When the world gets complex, humans look for simple answers. Very curious to see how the battle between the purists on the left and the right plays out.

Yeah. The editor figures it'll help expand the reach of the article, and here we are talking about it. I guess it works.

This makes sense to me. Couldn't quite articulate it. I think mining in general is a deeply conservative (or at least pro-capitalist) area that doesn't go in for the woke tendencies of other areas, but clearly there's bleed.

I have had some success with something like, “Do you think men have feelings?” Followed by “Are men’s feelings as valid as women’s? Are mine?” Facts won’t get through, but humanizing men, especially ones she cares about (like you) will slowly corrode the calcified nonsense.

Corporate media serves Corporate public relations and corporate PR needs internal and external enemies. Billions have been made making fun of men in commercials, and even worse, the battle of the sexes keeps us from seeing our common enemy. I hope we wake up from this propaganda war before it becomes even more acceptable to attack men. This is not a good sign. This IS a hate crime but as has been pointed out, there’s little chance of her being punished accordingly.

I think this is true. I won’t be telling any misogynistic jokes, but I do notice myself operating with a lot more coldness towards women in general, because I know I’m going to get the noise (I live in PDX where being masculine is generally frowned upon). And my unwillingness to help women feel comfortable is definitely reinforcing the stereotype in some people’s minds.

Yup. This we can count on.

Definitely a feedback loop. I hope you are right that we’re going to break out of it. Will definitely check out the stream when court is in session.

Excellent point. I wonder if we should differentiate between privileges (actual tangible things that are granted to some and withheld from others) and advantages. Everybody has advantages and disadvantages, and that would give us a lot more opportunity to talk about the various advantages and disadvantages that people experience. What you're talking about is NO JOKE. As a dude who was castigated by an entire small town for gender-related nonsense, it's deeply damaging to consistently be told (an…

This is actually a very sound point. I'm not ready to stop being upset by stuff (it's just all so ridiculously dumb), but I take your point. Try to get above the pigeonholed identities that push us into a cycle of action and reaction against some fake enemy. People are people. It'd be cool if we were more forgiving with each other. Am I getting it?

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
