Dear men, just a friendly reminder

All forms of depression, including that coming out of rejection, maternal issues, (especially gynocentric) societal expectations, and anything else are NOT your fault

That's the most important thing in my eyes. It's insane that people just expect men to get shit on for their entire lives and just take it.

it's insane but I see it all the time. Even in the Manosphere. It's not just that that idea is completly unfair which it is, it's also impossible. No one is going to handle being mistreated their entire life without some sort of resentment. That's just a natural reaction to being mistreated. There's nothing wrong with that.

I think the opposite is true in fact.

Happy international men's day.

Amen to that brother. Its not illegal to just exist as a male despite being told from all angles that it is .

SamsterBD · 2020-11-19T06:49:05+00:00

This is my first Men's day after being redpilled. I feel much better knowing I am not alone with these thoughts. Stay strong, stay happy brothers.

I have conversations with my son(16) regularly about things like this.

Not only is he male he is Caucasian.

For the life of me I don't know how someone like him is responsible for the world's ills, past, present and future.

I talk to him about his worth not being tied to having a girlfriend. My ex, his mom, is always asking "Why don't you have a girlfriend?", "You should get a girlfriend!".

He lifts, took muay thai, and is a football player.

He is "toxic" according to all MSM.

Learn to really love and priorities yourself over all others and all other things and be thankfull for who you are and where you are in this time and place in your life. Once learned (female) companionship becomes optional. Never allow a women or any one else for that matter define who you are. Learn to listen to your compass

Thank you for this encouraging message. We all need to remind ourselves of this from time to time.

TigPlaze · 2020-11-20T23:12:32+00:00

Thank you. I would add:

Your value as a human being is not determined by sex. Whether you pursue sex, whether you have sex, whether you reject a woman for sex is your business and your business alone. If you don't want to have sex with a woman for any reason, that's your call to make and your call alone. If you don't like that she's too fat, and that makes her unattractive to you, that's a perfectly legitimate reason. You are not obligated to have sex with anyone. It can be simply because you don't find her appealing. It can be because you don't believe you can trust her. YOU chose whether or not to have sex. While you must have her consent to do so, she must have your consent as well. You have every right to say "no."

Thank you xD

XGHOW · 2020-11-19T08:23:13+00:00

Super positive, thank you!

Happy International Men's Day! Thank you for these tips; it can be hard sometimes but it's great to know that we can rely on one another and just continue to build ourselves.

Toxic Masculinity is a terrible word for people using your gender against you. Anyone who says "Man Up" is being toxic. You're already a man and life isn't a competition. Fuck people that say that

Bonjourbonjourreturn · 2020-11-19T19:26:54+00:00

One word

Thanks

And we have people, mostly women, making jokes online that apparently it's also world toilet day too. These posts are getting thousands of upvotes/likes/whatever.

Gee I love being man. I feel so accepted.

"Crying/Breaking down is very normal, and shows your growth as a man who isn't afraid to be who he is."

I'm so glad to be seeing this message being spread more readily by MGTOW posters. I tend to read right-leaning content, and I cringe whenever they say that men need to 'be real men', 'stop crying' and 'harden up'. That sort of behavior doesn't benefit the man in question, it benefits society (and women), who have consistently demonstrated little to no concern about the well-being and happiness of men historically and presently.

Men, just like women, should have the right to feel sad, cry, grieve, and seek assistance when their mental well-being is suffering, without being degraded by society for doing so. They should also have the right to demand their feelings and vulnerabilities be taken into consideration by their partner, and expect reciprocal emotional support during difficult times.

I want to add that this all applies to men that don’t fit your particular lifestyle as well. Guys that wear dresses and paint their nails are still men and suffer from depression and feeling like trash. I see too many posts on this subreddit dragging guys with alternative style choices. We are all men and this applies to all of us

I needed that.

How patronizing, reminds me those annoying grammar school lectures I used to get in the 90's during the self esteem era where we were constantly reminded that "we are special, each of us is as unique and special as a little snowflake." I cringe just repeating that.

As men, every day is our day. It's not as if we live as someone else the rest of the time. This international men's day crap is both a joke and an insult because it is degrading us to the level of participants in the oppression Olympics. It's an insidious maneuver to knock men down in order to raise women up by portraying men as equal to women's childish state and smearing all men with the same nonsense problems that women invented for themselves in order to stay as perpetual victims.

In case you haven't noticed our lives do not revolve around women. We are not delicate doilies that need a constant pat on the back or else we fall apart. I don't believe "self-esteem" even exists. The Self is an illusion. The concept of self esteem in particular is a BS abstraction women peddle in order to convey their emotions in a way men could understand since we are predominantly abstract thinkers and women are emotional thinkers.

Any man that needs to be reminded of his manhood is no man at all. Does a bird need to be reminded that it's a bird and capable of flight? Does a lion need to be reminded that it's a lion, as if it's natural abilities as a lion exist with the consent of the one reminding him? Men do not need women's consent or anyone else's to be men. If our existence is a defiance to someone's world view then that is their problem, not ours. We exist just fine without anyone's consent.

Some of you are the reason your alone, it’s not always the woman’s fault. Spend this winter fixing your social dysfunctions and then you will deserve love
