Masculinity is Killing Men (Written by a Woman & research done by a Man)

Except that for the past several decades our society has been increasingly attempting to turn boys into women.

And I would argue that the chief cause of the "alcoholism, workaholism and violence" is not masculinity, but rather women and more precisely "feminism".

As for the article... it's a steaming pile of BS.

Men don't have the right to be men. You walk into a mall and what do you see? 100 percent of the stores are for women. Maybe put a strip club in? No that encourages sex and is disgusting? You can say the same thing about alcohol and is being a man disgusting.its revolting the way we live, as men, suppressed. We're taught that men are rapists with no emotional motives. Me and my male friend constantly talk about companionship...I have dreams of having a beautiful girl to love and she the same...is that so hard to believe. I hate what these people do. I hate it!!!

I agree. Masculinity is about being a useful tool (provider) who keeps quiet and doesn't complain about being mistreated in this way, all at the expense of your own wellbeing. Hence the popularity of slogans like 'man up', boys don't cry', 'be a man' -- all shaming tactics instilled in men from infancy to ensure they do not dare to stray from the plantation.

Interesting comments here on the article. Yes, admittedly, it's based upon the typical bias: woman handle their emotions better and that's "good"; whereas men suppress their emotions and that's "bad." there's a kernal of truth to that claim - - suppressed emoins (or even the inability to understand one's emotions) can have terrible effects. Sometimes men have to control their emotions in order to manage the situation (accidents, emergencies, warfare, etc.), and it may be essential to maintain a "cool head" until the situation is resolved...we don't want our police officers or firefighters to become blubbering nitwits in the midst of an emergency due to their "feelings." But having a useful and productive outlet to recognize those feelings and to deal with them in a positive way, is essential. You can't cure PTSD with alcohol or drugs, and being unable to deal with horror/guilt/shame/whatever can lead to depression, despair and suicide.

Men need to help themselves and to help other men. Women have the greatest union ever created: even when one of them commits horrible acts, she stills gets sympathy rather than universal condemnation. We men could learn a lot from that attitude. Instead of sneering, trying to ridicule and shame other men for their choices in life, we could understand and empathize, even if we disagree with their actions (e.g., feminized actions, hipsterism, avoiding "manly" activites).

One of my (female) colleagues made a snotty comment about Bruce/Kaitlyn Jenner not being a "real woman," to which I responded: "I think Jenner will be the kindest woman in the U.S., since she's seen how awful most women treat men."

Just some thoughts.

I found this article incredibly misleading and bad for men.

Tbh i think masculinity is bain for a man. Trying to be super mainly and shit can be dangerous. I do no want to partake in such demeanor. I have no need to prove myself that I'm worthy male. Fuck that. Going my own way.
