We men need to stick together.

If only there was this kind of solidarity among men.

Was pretty funny though.

I'm going to get shit for saying this, but one of the reasons men seem to show less solidarity for each other nowadays, is because we leave in relatively peaceful times. Don't get me wrong: I hate war and don't think that one has to serve in the military to be a 'real man' (since that term is horseshit anyway); but as horrible as war is, it has one advantage: It ties a group of men together forever.

Now, I think men need a new way to find together and become brothers. Feminism/Women's Suffrage has systematically destroyed male spaces over decades -no, centuries- now. I recommed Sandman's great video on the topic:

Women, on the other hand have created a solid Sisterhood. Women's Only Restaurants/Parks/Transportation; evil men as a common enemy and the idea that women are all sisters-in-arms when it comes to fighting the 'patriarchy' have created a solidarity among them, that I can barely fathom.

Think about it: Whenever a relationship ends, or a marriage crumbles, women will take the side of their fellow female 99.99 % of the time. Ever tried to get sympathy from a woman, when talking about something stupid your girlfriend/wife/sister etc. did? Virtually impossible. Men, on the other hand will not hestitate White Knight-ing to the rescue, when a woman needs help shaming her boyfriend/husband/ etc. This is a direct result of men's need to gain women's approval. Kind of pathetic, if you ask men, but maybe I'm just too much of a MGTOW by now to feel sympathy for Pussy Beggars and White Knights.

If we really want to restore solidarity and friendship among men, we need to bring back male spaces. Spaces, where healthy male friendships can grow. As soon as a woman shows up, there will be a competition to gain this woman's approval. It's not our fault, nor is it theirs. It's just the fact that women are limited in the number of children they can have, while men are essentially not. Hence, males are competitive for mates and women are choosy. This goes for every species, by the way. It's just simple biology/human sexuality. Let's bring back the Gentleman's Club, bring back the male spaces. And for fucks sake, end the stigma around male friendships.

I tend to prefer posts that promote discussion. This is just fictional catharsis.

That said, I have no doubt this post will generate a lot of upvotes (as it has multiple times each on /r/funny and /r/gifs).
