Is there currently a mental health crisis for men?

IdletRusselBrandMe · 2023-12-22T03:30:47+00:00

There has always been such. Its called suicide which is male dominated historically.

Clean-Ad5423 · 2023-12-22T03:37:24+00:00

Yes, the system we're in expects men to not get the help they need and to just "man up" so they turn to violent alternatives like suicide

AmuseDeath · 2023-12-22T08:36:10+00:00

Yes, men make up 80% of all suicides.

What can be done? The populace has to care about it. Women generally do not care about struggling men. Men also don't care about men generally. Then there are male simps, many of them are feminists who are too brainwashed into helping women to notice that their fellow brethren are doing bad.

What would help is to have more male-only spaces where men can open up and help each other.

Until all men are no longer regarded as disposable walking wallets for the rest of society. The crisis isn't going to end.

we need to understand where these problems are coming from:

Main Problem is social media. algortihmens push controvercy and negativity. rad feminism teaches young boys that they will grow up to be monsters which enforces a deeply rooted self hate. it Paints a grim future in generell with stuff Like politics and climate. taking a HEAVY toll on uneducated young people who are simply not mature enough to deal with such content.

Then there are sterotypes and stigma. for example that men can't talk about theire emotions which is much Harder to solve in Theorie. such sterotypes are deeply rooted in society and there is a truth to this. men are thaught this in Relationships. angey men are toxic. to nice men are not good either and shamefull men are pathetic and absolutely get rejcted. women also face sterotypes but they got a whole army of feminists behind them who help them out and have been fighting female sterotypes for centuries.

In generall, appoach gender issues with empathy and listen to affected people. listen to science. especially important since we need to normalize men talking about systemical problems. if we don't, we get results like suicide. Take a look at how much tade growed just by providing a safe space for men that helps them with getting out of depression.

Without a doubt, expect more violence, depression. This is another pandemic.

I have often thought about this in relation to the mass shootings we have. Nobody talks about the fact that they are mostly young males that are the shooters. But nobody talks about it in the news as an issue. Why? To me it's blatantly obvious that men in our society are not doing well mentally. But either the media does not care or it doesn't fit their narrative.

It'll fix itself soon enough. Think the last time it got this bad the Nazis rose up. Happened before the fall of Rome, French revolution. Too many men get alone, suicidal, and unhappy the powers that be start a good war. Kill off a good chunk of men and all of a sudden men are in demand again. There aren't enough to go around and you get good times like the boomers had. Zoomers get to live through what the men that were too old to fight nazis got to live through. The ones that have kids; those sons will either fight the war or be born during and after. Those kids will reap the benefits.

Nope. Look up the BBC video where the guy starts talking men’s issues and it’s usurped by the women about women’s issues. It’s sad but it is what it is.

Closest thing we got are men’s YouTube channels and stuff

hottake_toothache · 2023-12-22T14:43:46+00:00

Yes and no. Yes, the situation is bad, but also men are very resilient and adaptable. We can live minimalist lives and be happy.

Reasonable-Tea-8160 · 2023-12-22T15:16:53+00:00

Absolutely. I'm speaking from a USA standpoint but we can pretty much factor in every Nation

Male Loneliness and Isolation
Lack of Direction and Guidance
Drug and Alcohol Abuse to Cope
Suicide Rates and Aggressive Criminality
Alienation from the Majority of Society
Lead to believe we can do and be anything yet we find out real quick we're just a number in the system
Rampant Escapism (Video games, media, drugs, porn)
Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms
Worry and Shame extended from (social) Media
Unfair Expectations and Unrealistic Standards
Lack of healthy masculinity idols (Father figures)
Generational Trauma from Both Sides
Invalidation of Emotions and Suppressive Tendencies which lead to Explosive Outbursts
The Ideology that Masculinity is inherently Toxic -
^Toxic Masculinity is really The Lack of Masculinity
Hedonism, Moral Relativism and Nihilistic Belief
Any sort of "Weakness" or Perceived Inferiority is Shamed by All of Society (including from other Men)

The list goes on and all Men have to face it with or without help.

And just because All Men have to face it doesn't mean it's a GOOD thing. It's a terrible thing and leads to criminal behavior, isolation and suicide.

To be fair , I think there is a health crisis for men and women too . We should not be against each other or competing against each other . Work stress combined with inflation and house prices is making things stressful for everyone . It should be men and women together against the greedy and corrupt politicians , elites and cooperations

ekurisona · 2023-12-22T07:29:51+00:00
