Why do men expect women to be their personal therapists and punching bags? I always see posts on Reddit about how men need support, need to be able to cry, etc, and there's always whining about how women need to help them realize emotions are okay. If men weren't so toxic to each other, maybe they'd be happier. Why aren't more men setting up domestic abuse shelters for men instead of pressuring us into having all-gender shelters? Why aren't more men reaching out to their friends and family, helping them when they're sick or tired, nursing them when they're ill? Are men making each other cards and getting each other flowers on special occasions?

My female friends do so, so much for each other. I don't see my male friends doing a fraction of that, and they complain "why does nobody think to give men flowers and hugs :((" lol think men, think.

It's always on women to do the real work of holding the community together.

The lack of men’s domestic violence shelter ones always kills me. Like… most of the ones for women were started by victims of abuse or family of victims of abuse. Men have always had the majority of money and power, make your own. Secondly, what’s hilarious there are tons of men shelters. Homeless shelters. They aren’t fucking unisex. Most homeless shelters are for men only because any woman who would go would obviously be assaulted. That’s why there are specific women’s shelters. And usually with the specification of domestic violence because that’s usually what causes women to be homeless. Men become homeless because of all kinds of weird shit. My ex became homeless to stalk me. Stayed at a homeless shelter for a month to work there and buy a cheap ass car and then show up at my job to “impress me”

I absolutely hate the ‘men won’t go to therapy’ jokes. Since when do abusers care to stop hurting others? Of course they don’t go to therapy, they’re having a perfectly good time thriving in patriarchy.

They’re overgrown, horrible kids. They whip up victim narratives as needed when they’re the fking perpetrators. No one excels at outrageous bullshit like they do.

When men see women being emotional with each other, they get mad because they know they could never be like that with other men.

The problem is that they believe this is due to “male oppression”, instead of them just refusing to put any effort into their friendships. For lots of men, sitting by each other silently playing video games is “bonding”. They don’t know intimacy because even the bare minimum of effort is too much for them, but they still expect to be loved unconditionally regardless.

Seriously - most men I know put as much effort into their male friendships as they do their romantic relationships (literally zero percent effort) and complain constantly about being lonely. They honestly believe they need to do nothing for themselves and people should still be fawning love and adoration on them. It’d be funny if it didn’t leave these men so broken and alone :/

These men never actually take charge of their mental health. They love being able to play the "nobody cares" card because it's an excuse to avoid treatment and continue their toxic actions. They whimper and whine about society stigmatizing them, as if that takes away the option to get their shit together. It genuinely pisses me off -- I've rebuilt my fucking life taking care of my mental health. I can become literally psychotic if I'm not mindful of taking my meds. I've lost longtime friends. I hide my medications when certain people come over because they've been so shitty about it. It's a joke in multiple circles that I'm cRaZy. Does it suck? Yep. Do I piss and moan and say nobody cares? Nope. I take care of myself, by myself. Nobody helped me out of this hole. If women are truly the weaker sex then these clowns should have no issue following our examples of emotional stability and self-care. Yet...🤡 here they are.

This is just a new way to make us sympathy fuck them and give them therapy.

What do I care if a cheating sociopath is depressed and lonely? Next.

Oh btw, I never liked this show (but my LVM ex and his friends did). Eric Andre is overrated and so not funny.

Women suffer more from major depression than men. Yet so many guys on here seem to think it's a 'man only' problem and that women have it easy..
