Toxic masculinity my @ss!!!

Today is a day for men and you did not receive flowers, you were not congratulated at work, you were not called a warrior, you were strong, you did not have a TV advertisement or a beautiful speech by the authorities.

We are "kicked", devalued, hated, cursed that many come to believe that their male nature is "toxic", wrong and that they have to live apologizing just for being what they are, men.

We are labeled as violent, crude, immature, primitive, unable to care and other derogatory labels all the time! We are silenced in every attempt to expose our feelings, fears, longings, desires. Sometimes it seems like no one cares. Shut up and go back to work

Paternity leave? Shut up, go back to work as if nothing had happened and do not get tired at home.

Your wife suffered miscarriage? Shut up, be strong and support her!

Have you been divorced? Pay the pension and work as if nothing had happened and to be able to see the children only God knows when.

We are about 80% of the victims of suicide, 92% of homicide victims, of which 10% is a result of domestic violence (Brazilian statistics...), we are more than 90% of those killed in work accidents, we are more than 80% of the homeless, our boys are the biggest victims of school dropout and 2/3 of the children exploited by child labor.

There is a real male genocide in our country and in the world. Of the 61,619 people murdered, 56,692 were men according to the map of violence 2017, 155 per day, 6 every hour, 1 every 10 minutes.

At the same time, if you can read this here, it is very likely that many men worked on the generation and distribution of electricity, wiring and installing your wifi, or maintaining cellular antennas at the highest and most dangerous places in their city, if their internet falls at dawn is a men's team that rises in the street repairing cables, when our daily tragedies occur, "Brumadinhos, Samarcos, Muzemas"(?) are men who risk their lives to rescue the victims, are the men who lead the workers daily in the public transportation, who collect their garbage, unpack their sewage, dedetize their house.

To be a good father you have to be a good man! For a society to function, there must be many good men, so that the lives of all can be improved, the great majority of men must be good men.

Tip of the Day: Hug a Man!

Anyone needs to know how little Brazil thinks of their men, just refer to that story of two lesbian women whom performed gender adjustment surgery on a little boy then proceeded to chop his dead body into pieces with one of them using their hatred of his father, and men in general, as justification for their actions.

No Brazilian media coverage. It took foreign media from the outside to break the story because it was intentionally covered up due to the fact they were lesbians.

Toxic masculinity is hate speech.
