I think if there is something men really don't like[and really adults in general] is being babied or coddled like they're toddlers, not only does this obviously absolve us of responsibility, but also kills someone's confidence

On the other hand, just because men don't like being coddled or infantilized, does not mean we ask to be thrown in the ditch, men require just as much mentorship as women, where does society get the idea that men like being their own fixers all the time? How did this get so socialized into the masses?

My guess is and as cliche as it sounds, because obviously neurological structural differences between men and women's brains are still being debated to this day, is been credited that men's brains tend to be either problem-solving or analytical in particular in times of hardship or turmoil, while I can't obviously generalize to make a point that would cause even more moral apathy to men's issues, I can speak a bit from experience, I noticed whenever I always been in very down moments of my life, the problem-solving side of my monkey brain would just start grinding gears outta nowhere, like this came very intuitively

Why is this hardwired into us? Probably for survival and self-preservation reasons, I think survival of the fittest isn't just also about physical fitness, mental clarity and technicality are also huge proponents

I can't speak about women's side of the perspective on this since I am not a woman of course

So yes I think society got used to the idea that men [and really adults in general, but especially men] love to just figure it all out themselves, even young boys and adolescent dudes are always thrown in the ditch to just figure it all out

We obviously don't want to be coddled and have our intelligence and thinking abilities be questioned, but to also just give us a train of hyper-agency isn't what asked for either
