| 0 | Humor mixed in with truth? Good points the middle section throws me off a bit. (Discussion)In your company do they promote managers who refuse to commute, refuse to sacrifice their family time, and take alot of time off? Give me a break. I will not give you a break. Refusal to commute is a ridiculous statement. If someone refuses to commute they do not work there, therefore they cannot be promoted. And yes, in my company people who look after their families and maintain good work life balances, and people who use their PTO, are in fact promoted. They actually focus on productivity and… | /r/MensRights | 02/07/20 11:48 PM |
| 0 | Humor mixed in with truth? Good points the middle section throws me off a bit. (Discussion)I feel its more likely to be effective when society treats men as though they have intrinsic value instead of being intrinsically dangerous/undesirable until they prove they have something to provide. Again, you're treating 'society' as a uniform behemoth. I'm not sure what concrete actions you think 'society' should take. There are many people and groups pushing for the very idea that you mention, that men have intrinsic worth and are not inherently threats. There are people pushing for better … | /r/MensRights | 02/07/20 04:32 PM |

(Discussion)also want to add real quick that the times I did finally reach out to my friends and share with them the things I have struggled with, they were very understanding and receptive. Mostly I just wanted them to understand why I was acting the way I was sometimes. And in the end it strengthened our friendship. | /r/MensRights | 02/07/20 03:44 AM |
| -2 | Humor mixed in with truth? Good points the middle section throws me off a bit. (Discussion)For the first point, I feel as though we are saying the same thing in different ways. Maybe I'm mistaken, but it seems we agree that men learn from a young age that showing weakness (ie becoming a burden) is taboo, and this causes men to accept a reality in which they feel they are alone, But this is something we can change, as it is based on the actions of individuals. If you embrace a man sharing a problem, become a part of his safety net (in whatever capacity you can), you are helping. Certai… | /r/MensRights | 02/07/20 03:33 AM |
| 1 | Humor mixed in with truth? Good points the middle section throws me off a bit. (Discussion)Well, I understand that you're hearing it that way but he starts off with "I feel like part of the issue is ...", so he's definitely not saying this would solve all men's problems at all. And I think there's is emphasis on the idea that this is taught to men and is learned behavior. You get called out by family/friends/authority figures enough for showing emotion and 'acting weak,' eventually you internalize that and stop reaching out when you feel pain. I think people are latching on to the pat… | /r/MensRights | 02/07/20 01:38 AM |
| 2 | Humor mixed in with truth? Good points the middle section throws me off a bit. (Discussion)I don't think he's blaming the victims at all. He is saying that it is all because of a society that is indifferent to their feelings. Or not even indifferent to their feelings actually, because society does care enough to actively suppress men expressing those emotions. He's blaming the environment and cultural norms that create this problem, not the individuals trapped in it. | /r/MensRights | 01/07/20 10:34 PM |
