Men being wholesome

merton1111 · 2019-01-22T06:01:55+00:00

For a lot of men, the question is "talk to who?" There isnt much support for men. If someone hear someone being emotional instead of logical, we tend to give a pass to women but not men.

I Find it disgusting that so many have bought into the "men Don't Talk" Bull Crap peddled under the Cult of Feminism and Gynocentrism.

As someone who has been an advocate fpr and been involved in support for men for 35 years, I've never found men having difficulty in asking for help or expressing emotions..... But I've encountered far too many Gynocentric, Feminist infected pains in the ass who lack the ability to listen to men unless they act like women.

That sexism costs live and men should not be supporting the False Mantra - they should be exploding it - Nuclear Style.

Copied from one of the comments from the original post. This is the most retarded analysis of the backlash, ‘bad men got mad because the ad encouraged others to stand up to them and other men were mad because they misinterpreted the ad’

“ They made an ad showing examples of toxic masculinity and showcasing how good men would respond and stop those bad men from doing bad behaviors typically excused because "boys will be boys".

Bad men were offended by this because it encouraged people to stand up to them, and other people were offended because they misunderstood the ad and thought it misconstrued all men as bad. I'm not sure how though, the ad showcased men being good people and encouraged people to be positive role models for kids.

The people who weren't offended typically saw it neutrally, as a risky business tactic, or as a great ad which encourages men to be themselves rather than doing what society expects for them, as well as encouraging them to be the best parents/role models they can be for kids because those kids will be the men of the future. “

And the guy responding why people were actually mad got downvote bombed...

I love when feminists say that men can't show emotions because of patriarchy.. Funny thing is that I never had been laughed at or emasculated by my male peers, I even remember my father cry when he had major depression and I never doubt his "masculinity".

On the other hand I had women and feminists underestimate my problems, issues or stories of sexual harassment.

If men really do 'mask their emotions' then why is the number of male and female callers to the UK 'Samaritans' helpline apparently roughly equal?

This is, yet again, not a social issue men have but an issue Society has with men. We work differently. We don't cope with emotions the way women do. Stop making it look like we need to, we don't. In fact, women cope worse with stress than men.

Fuck this poz feminist men's rights bullshit.

Feminist bs, post to MensLib.

The original meaning of the term "toxic masculinity" was not "men being assholes". It was an idea of masculinity that denied emotion and was therefore toxic to the man himself.

Of course feminists co-opted a term that was about men's mental health and made it about imagined abuse of women.

In the original thread people brought up the Gillette commercial so it got me thinking why is it ok for women to get upset with media that they feel like misrepresents them and demeans them, but when something offends men the men that are offended are the problem? Of course I am speaking in generalization here.

Men don’t mask their emotions. They conquer them.

Taco-Time · 2019-01-22T10:16:01+00:00

Literally every man, hell every person, has things that weigh on them. One type of person gets a lot more positive support though.

NaturalisticPhallacy · 2019-01-22T10:45:23+00:00

I’m not masking my emotions I’m just not having the ones women want me to have when it’s convenient for them.

2019-01-22T11:20:41+00:00

I have plenty of people to turn to. I am not a victim. What is up with this effeminate crap going on?

Zamop · 2019-01-22T12:08:22+00:00

Im happy its ok to talk. But sometmes I just want to punch things and that will solve it.

XimcahCosmaos · 2019-02-19T10:59:45+00:00

Locked, and the post is deleted. Has anyone else noticed that without fail, every post with any sort of male positivity that makes it to the popular page has the same fate?

Was it wrong though?

Constantly crying to your wife, treating her like Mama, is worthy of a quick divorce.

Showing such weakness is counterproductive with anyone but the most trusted friends / brothers.

That's why those are so important. Can count them on 1 hand, but KNOW they got your back.

Showing some emotion, once in a while to a chosen female can give her a special feeling. "wow he trusts me!" but only if she's use to you normally being manly.

Basically, I disagree.. society tells males there are certain emotions we MUST have... and the rest, about sharing all the time, is also just bullshit. It is a trap, and the more that fall into it, the better it gets for the manipulators. They do NOT have your best interest at heart.

Masking emotions is a valuable skill. We need an outlet, but NOT our spouse or the general public.

bigkyrososa · 2019-01-22T17:34:50+00:00

no one tells men to 'mask their emotions'. we tell men to take accountability and deal with their problems instead of sulk/grieve. big difference.

BigGreyAlpaca · 2019-01-23T13:56:46+00:00

I love how people are pretending that the only reason Men are hurting is because they've been told to "mask their emotions" (A nonsensical claim with zero evidence).

This is lip service we shouldn't be celebrating this. Homelessness, Unequal representation in government assistance, etc. these are real issues.

I have never in my entire life outside of "Male tears" feminists encountered a human being who'd attack me for having normal emotions, this campaign is idiotic.

men dont talk, because men dont heal in the mind like weak women. men heal through action. -tom golden
