(B.C., Canada) Saw this ad on a business Burnaby for a support group for male victims. Was quite surprised and happy to see it.

One advert among a sea of man shaming adverts online, on tv, on radio, in cinemas, in print and in our culture.

This post woke me up to just how desperate we have become that we eagerly accept the tiniest things as men now.

Feminism has forced men into being grateful for a few crumbs swept off from their feasting table.

That is progress.

Look at the impacts of sexual abuse in the ad... doesn’t that read like the list certain people associate with toxic masculinity? Hmmmm...

I managed to score them some funding last year. About 5k, nothing to sing about. They are desperately underfunded and get no support from the city (gasp).

If we want progress I honestly believe we need to stop being so cynical of what progress we see and instead try supporting them. Donate to them if you can; it would go such a long way. Spread the word too... positivity will rub off I pray, and lead to new options for those people that need this kind of help.

ad on a bus in Burnaby

That’s what I meant to say. Maybe I should proofread my posts before I slap submit.
