Let’s talk about how society targets young men with performance and work insecurity, similar to how women are targeted with beauty standards

Within society we always see the “it is never enough” mentality pushed onto young men, whether it is the money they’re making, the amount of dating success they have, how much more muscle they built in the gym, etc, men are always told “keep pushing” and then some guys just get into a rut and go “well when does it end?”

I think the social media success bubble goes back to this: Society is seeing how desperate many young men are to cling onto some sort of mentorship, but what I see happening is nothing more than a social engineering feat to make men even more disposable and doubtful of themselves

Can you imagine all the businesses that would lose their float of men learned how to be more content with what they got, rather than what they have yet to obtain?

In other words for young men, it is never enough, you must always be sacrificing and busting your ass for a society that doesn’t reciprocate respect and appreciation in return

But then you realize how many institutions and industries are dependent on this: military industrial complex, construction, manufacturing, energy production, law enforcement, transportation & logistics, EMS, agriculture, basically fields that require sacrificing your all almost

I think society works in a feedback loop in that if young men are always feeling it is never enough, this ignites their inner drive to keep on going at it, even if said workplace doesn’t care for them. So we target them with performance insecurity so that this makes the average man feel even more doubtful and remorseful of himself, is pure mental grooming at its finest

Some say these industries and jobs would collapse big time if men started getting complacent, while I feel this is true to some extent, automation has also taken care of some of that already so don’t give me that BS

Is funny how society literally targets men with performance and work insecurity all the time and men are just expected to comply

Now of course I do think more men should learn to self actualize and transcend that need to always feel validated about everything they do, but of course not every man is going to have enough willpower to go about it like that, that’s why we need to start instead promoting positive motivation for men and watch men’s natural efforts improve
