As much as I respect his efforts to help men, it really irks me his lack of willingness to critique feminism, even in the slightest.

Society just leaves us feeling like we don't belong anywhere.

I feel like this is where, if we're going to get anywhere, the message needs to be harder than this. Like, it's not even that society is leaving us feeling that way, it's more like we've actively been trying to make men feel like we don't belong anywhere. That it's a feature, not a bug. That essentially we're getting what we wanted, hope we're satisfied.

Like, Reeves brings up the double standards, and that's good, but it HAS to be linked to the effect it has on men on sending the message that we don't belong, don't have a place. That we're disposable. It can't be left to float on its own. It has to be made clear how toxic and harmful it is on men's psyches.

I still have a mixed feeling about Reeves (I think he's not radical enough in his conclusions and messaging), but this was a great interview.

Richard Reeves can fuck off. He isn't an ally.

I enjoyed what Richards say about men's outlets being more of a symptom than a cause of their problems.

Most men know what changes they need in their life, but often it is impractical due to life circumstances like money, location, or just general lack of a good on-ramp for the skills they need.

Pair in a lack of emotional support and it is no wonder men are struggling.

Then if you have a disability or mental health issue you feel completely stuck.
