We've gotten to a point where men are doing so poorly that male issues are finally being talked about a bit. Examples are the male loneliness epidemic, men's mental health, male suicide, and men falling behind. Sure, they're usually not talked about from a place of compassion and, sure, they are not talked about as much as they ought to be in the mainstream, but I feel a potential for real earned optimism here.

Having your issues be ridiculed is (oddly) often a step up on the ladder towards having your issues be finally taken seriously and (hopefully) dealt with. I don't know if we'll be able to fully undo the misandry that exists within our current evolutionary biology but I think we can definitely make things fairer.

I hope that this phase we're in right now is a case of "any press is good press". The way our issues are talked about right now might not feel too good but at least our issues are being talked about. Hopefully, this is a step in a journey that leads to our issues being dealt with through a lense of real compassion.
