Why Intimate Relationships are so hard for Men [Kidology]

There we go again with "Men don't express emotions" bullshit. I can't stand this tone deaf complaint levied at Men, emotions are weakness because everyone attacks us for it. The problem isn't that Men aren't emotionally expressive, the problem is that no one cares when we are!

Men think Emotions are Feminine

This Feminist talking point only exists so that feminists can accuse innocent men of misogyny. No one says emotions are feminine, except for TradCons&Feminists themselves. Also, where did you get the Idea Pornography is encouraged in Men? Feminists claim its misogyny and sexual objectification of Women, the manosphere&larger society simply deems Porn as something only loser Men watch. I have yet to meet a single soul that talks about pornography in a positive manner.

Men live emotionally insular lives, Women most affected!

I hate this "emotional labour" argument, it takes a Men's issue and makes Women the center of attention. Men are emotionally abused and somehow women are the victims because they have to deal with these emotionally abused Men. And this, is an important point worth highlighting, while women like the one in the video express concerns for Men's issues, they do NOT want to personally deal with Men who have been abused because its "emotional labour". This brings me back to my original point. The problem is and always has been the same, no one cares about men beyond the utility they provide.

Calling Roosh V’s Return of Kings ‘once at the center of the manosphere’, the VERY FIRST sentence in this video, is a typical insidious feminist lie. Roosh V is hated and not taken seriously by all but the most loony MRAs. Frankly, for me that is enough to skip the rest of the video. Seeing what you posted before, I’m frankly a bit surprised you bought this.

Men express their emotions all the time. It's just that no one cares or they get attacked when they do even by so called feminists. There is also the fact that sensitive and vulnerable men just aren't attractive to most women.

This video essay is by a YouTube that explored the various ways that emotional intimacy between men is discouraged/ stigmatised/ reduced which includes social pressure, men's mental health gap and tinder's exploitation of men's wellbeing.

Time stamps (taken from the description)

0:00 Introduction 3:52 Commercialising evolutionary psychology to profit off men 8:39 Men's emotional disadvantage from childhood | Emotional capitalism | The friendship gap in boys and men 12:46 Men's mental health gap | Couples' friendships | Men and materialism/gift-giving 19:01 Tinder's exploitation of men's wellbeing and best interests 25:13 A question to you |

In the evolutionary psychology part she discusses how sex differences result in different intimacy styles, according to current research. In romantic rationships mutual support often results in more intimate relationships. Gift giving tends to reduce intimacy in more mature relationships. This contradicts the mamosphere interpretation that women are primarily interested in resources and nothing else.

I am way too bothered by the comments section than it is worth

Just threads of comments tiptoeing around the problem but never actually adressing things

Idk anything about what manosphere or red pill means. She talks about studies that show that relationship built around respect and kindness and not money are more successful and more intimate. then she says the manosphere will tell you all women want is money. Those aren’t conflicting points. Stuff you desire right now might not be what will make you happy long term. Wanting a husband that makes a lot of money is not irrational or bad to a point, the economy is difficult. She should have looked at studies directly about comparing the incomes of spouses to find that the second statement about women wanting money is true too
