    First and foremost, men should be allowed to have feelings. We are not rocks and we will never be those emotionless lumps the society wants us to be. "Men don´t cry" is a BS, that will never ever work. If a woman cries in public, EVERYONE will go and try to support her, no matter the situation and whether she´ll deserve it or not. If a man will cry in public, he will be judged - harshly - and nobody will bother supporting him. I was a crybaby during my childhood - i cried a lot. Constant shaming from peers and abuse from my grandfather each time i cried resulted in me being physically unable to cry. Even if i want to, i can´t. At most, my eyes will get wet - and that´s it - and the only thought in my head at that moment is: "Oh no! Somebody will see me!". Society is broken. Perfectly repairable tho. We should stop focusing on dividing ourselves into men and women and just BE HUMANS. As to why women struggle looking for partners, don´t look at wage or whether he lives with parents. It´s currently being constantly harder for someone to sustain themselves, if they´re single. Hollywood is not helpful either. Each new movie shows us toxically masculine women, who somehow have the physical power of men (except superheroines, who are ofc stronger) despite of their physical weight of 50kg and can defeat 2x or 3x heavier men with just their punches. Women should rely on their strengths (which is rarely a physical force) and not act as men. Relying on your strengths and not being able to defeat other sex on equal terms is not a sign of weakness, but wisdom.

    There is NO comparison between JP, Joe Rogan and Andrew Tait. Neither Jordan Peterson or Joe Rogan would say that it's the worlds fault, not yours. That is an exclusively Andrew Tait thing. I found that to be quit offensive and divisive thing to say. To put those three men in the same boat is very wrong.

    As men we need to understand that as much of a problem it is for us, we need to stop using the circular rationale and backwards thinking that certain women on the other side use. As tired as I am of hearing women doing x and "feminist go crazy" type shit, it depresses me further to see us employ the same arguments but in a different flesh. The problem of both parties lies in the fact that they and we feel victimized, and as such, believe are obligated to chastise the other for being responsible, when it is not entirely clear who we are blaming (is it men in general, is it your mom who abused you, is it the man who assaulted you?) It is our sense of judgment that blinds us because we want to seek justice, and because we can only experience our own misfortunes as individuals, it becomes hard to empathize with others who you otherwise would've if not for whom their disdain is toward. This all starts because we pointed fingers in the first place and make disingenuous judgments and assumptions.

    Most have no conception of occupying both the extremes of fairness and independence, and then being shown by society that neither value is appreciated as they should be. For most, one is crutched by the other.

    what I don't understand about the Japanese is if they were such a prideful and honourable nation/people, why did they bow down so hard to the Americans and incorporate so much of American culture into their society? seems rather paradoxical.

    If you look at things from a distance and broader sense. How the hell did we make something so obvious, a truth, a reality, to something so complicated and draining our energy into this topic of gender, identity, and “toxic masculinity” ? This is wasted energy and to fight over gender to the point of confusion over something that was never meant to be complicated or confused with. Just how?! Why do we do this to ourselves?

    Biology in general wants to survive, where this instinct of survival comes from? Because survival seems to be none biological, but psychological, where this psychology comes from , biology couldn't come before psychology, seems like psychology and biology are 2 different entities that somehow work together since their existence

    Talking with most Americans today, on “my side” or not, is a constant challenge. I remember talking with Americans in the 80s, 90s, early 00s (middle school, high school, college, graduate school). Nowhere similar today. The internet has changed people. Or, rather, the weak have allowed the internet to change them for the worst. Especially social media platforms.

    The idea that our reality is a simulation seems like a backdoor version of Intelligent Design. Also, if we’re a simulation, what about the higher level beings that created us as a simulation? Does their universe have actual reality, or are they being simulated by the next level up in reality? So, where does it end? Is it simulations all the way up? Something like turtles all the way down?

    To be a good man and a good woman is to uplift each other. You are right, both have to do well. I do not support male bashing so that women can rise up and vice versa. Let's work as a team and work to our strengths, whatever they may be. I'm a 60 year old woman and I welcome my husband to lead in certain areas of our life together, just as I lead in other areas. It's a partnership. It's not about 50/50. It's about playing to your strengths.
