When men open up

Jul 16, 2025 7:21 PM

Remember that when you raise your daughters too. Too many princesses were told they could do no wrong by their daddy. Now we got a whole generation of brats.

men

relationships

How do people create stuff like this without double checking grammar and syntax?

It’s 2025 and we’re all getting dumber despite having access to the all the world’s knowledge at our fingertips.

Actually one of the all time best places to hit someone. Ranks between 'from behind' and 'while they're down'

What if i told you that this isn't exclusive to men & that this is mostly universal for the human condition regardless of sex..... No need to make it sexist or one sided the way this is presented. The "only men experience this" trope is BS and tired.

Yup. Men try to talk and open up at all, even vicariously through an online video, and still get flak like this. When confronted with what a man sees, you basically just said "everybody experiences that. Be a man and suck it up." Congrats on learning about your sexism today

Nobody is saying women don't suffer too, but if men explain they aren't willing to open up due to fear, your immediate reacations is that "all lives matter" and it's sexist for men to speak about their expeireices and fears?
you want men to speak on behalf of women? pretty sure thats mansplaining.

Men never get general support and are easier to blow off. "They're men. They can handle it." Society fucking sucks

I think their point was that the clip only addresses men opening up to women, which reduces importance/impact of the issue. Basically some ppl may ignore the point thinking it doesn’t apply to them:

A trusted person throwing what you said when you opened up and were being vulnerable back in your face during an argument would be hurtful. Regardless of your gender or the gender of person hurting you.

Both men and women can be petty & hurtful, it’s a personality/value thing, not gender one.

Yes, but the Irony that a clip about men opening up about how they feel thye can't open up lest it be thrown back at them, Immedialty gets into an accusation of sexism.

I can't talk on behalf of women, I haven't lived as one, wouldn't want to self appoint myself the spokesperson for women, i'm sure hell not going to tell women how they feel, that's some Gaston level shit.

But Men are significantly more likely to kill themselves, and maybe that's bad.

Which misses the point entirely. A man tried to talk about an issue serious to them and immediately gets confronted with "Everyone deals with that, it's not just you." Might as well add "be a man and suck it up" with that level of sexism. If it was women saying this, they'd be acknowledged and actually shown support and not get blown off. And if a man popped up with "Everybody deals with that. It's not just a women's issue" they'd be eviscerated as insensitive and not caring. That's why it's bs.

1st: First I think we agree that the notion of ‘you can’t complain b/c others have similar problems’ is a faulty argument. Pain is subjective, and different ppl can and do experience things differently.

2nd: you kinda preempted the last part as I was writing it. Earlier I was expounding my view on that commenter’s point. My follow up was going to be on gender roles in society and how expectations for men are warped (same for women in different ways tho). Which I feel you agree with too.

The notion that men have to be tough and compete with each other on how tough they can be has always been a stupid one that ignores the realities of the human condition and social nature of our existence. In some extreme cases, ppl think the only acceptable negative emotion for men is anger (and only if narratively justified). Probably why some develop bad coping habits.

Again, to be clear, gender roles adversely affect women too, just in different ways. (To clarify , I’m cis male)
