Becoming a man often means realizing no one gives a fuck about you
• Men make up ~75-80% of suicides
• Men account for over 90% of workplace fatalities
• Men do the overtime, the dangerous jobs, and die first in tragedies
• Only men are drafted for war in most countries
• Women initiate ~70% of divorces. Fathers lose primary custody in the vast majority of cases
• Men have zero say in whether a pregnancy continues or over adoption, yet are often forced to pay child support—sometimes even for children that aren’t biologically theirs
• Men frequently lose their homes and financial stability in divorce
• Men make up the large majority of the homeless population
• Men are routinely passed over for jobs or opportunities simply for being male
• Men are frequently falsely accused of sexual assault or abuse, with their lives destroyed before due process
Vulnerable boys and young men—in the middle of mental health crises—are routinely groomed from platforms like Twitch and YouTube into long-term paid parasocial sexual relationships and intentionally funneled over to sites like Fansly and OnlyFans, where this exploitation is normalized and even framed as empowerment
Society teaches boys from day one that they are “toxic,” that “all men” are the problem, and that their feelings don’t matter. When men open up about their struggles, it’s often weaponized against them. They’re conditioned to suppress emotions, provide no matter what, apologize even when abused, and accept that their problems are always their fault
There’s almost no institutional support for men. Canada’s only dedicated shelter for male victims of domestic violence was forced to shut down, and its founder later took his own life due to the abuse. Journalist Norah Vincent lived as a man for over a year to document the experience—and later ended her own life, citing the brutal emotional toll
Men are constantly scrutinized, blamed, and told their suffering doesn’t count
I’m just personally so fucking sick of everyone pretending this is all just “normal hardship.” It’s not. Boys are literally resorting to AI girlfriends to get a tiny bit of care and affection. And every time these issues get brought up, it’s immediately twisted into “but what about women?” or “Women have it hard too.”
Men make up ~80% of suicides. By almost every metric, men are suffering in ways the vast majority of women will never fully understand. I’m tired of the constant deflection and the idea that men’s pain only matters if we can tie it back to how it affects women
Men and boys matter. Men and boys matter. Men and boys matter. MEN and BOYS matter
Thank you.
Call it a millennial crisis if you want...
But in my 30's, I realized I don't actually want the life I worked so hard for. I don't care about titles. I don't care about climbing anyone else's ladder. I care about time. I care about slow mornings. I care about peace.I care about bare feet at the beach with nowhere to be.
I still want to make money... just not at the cost of my life.
💔 In 2015, Arkansas, a 19-year-old girl continued to text her dead dad’s phone every day to cope with her tragic loss.
For 4 years, she sent updates about her life — beating cancer,graduating college, heartbreaks.
Then, on the anniversary of his death, she received a reply 😮
In a nearby town years back, someone raped a special needs girl.
The local boys got wind of it, captured the perpetrator, took him to a nearby barn, and proceeded to bullwhip him nearly to death.
In a similar incident, someone else got dragged behind a truck by his feet with a rope for half a mile down a gravel road.
And of course, there's Gary Plauche.
My point is that when the public feels as though the legal system cannot be depended upon to suitably punish evil, eventually they will deal with it themselves in the manner of their ancestors.
It’s sad that every anime con now is about online sex workers advertising their sites while massacring a character instead of just enjoying anime and manga
“My inherited family, each and every one of you. Until someone is good enough, this is gonna stay around my waist. I promise you that.”
KENNY OMEGA’S PROMO AS THE NEW AEW WORLD CHAMPION THANKING THE FANS AFTER BEACH BREAK WENT OFF THE AIR. 🔥
Yes it was.
Charlottesville was organized by paid informants for SPLC. Every organization directly involved were therefore tainted by SPLC funding.
American Vanguard was one of those groups.
After Charlottesvile, they changed their name.
To Patriot Front.
🇯🇵🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day to our friends in the United States!
This song is very popular here in Japan and many artists often cover it. I particularly love this one.
America burned Japan's first gift of cherry trees. All 2,000 of them, on President Taft's direct order.
The 1910 shipment arrived in DC crawling with insects and nematodes. Agriculture inspectors condemned the lot, Taft signed off on the bonfire, and the State Department braced for a diplomatic disaster. Tokyo's mayor, Yukio Ozaki, responded by sending 3,020 more, grafted from the famous grove along the Arakawa River.
Those trees have spent a century paying the friendship back.
Four days after Pearl Harbor, vandals chopped down four of them. Park officials renamed the survivors "Oriental" cherry trees for the rest of the war to protect them from axes.
Then came the twist. By 1952 the original Arakawa grove in Tokyo, the parent stock, had nearly died from wartime neglect. Japan asked Washington for help. The Park Service shipped budwood from DC's trees back across the Pacific and restored the grove that created them. When a flood wiped out more Japanese trees in 1982, horticulturists took 800 fresh cuttings from the Tidal Basin.
These 250 new trees solve a real problem too. The Tidal Basin is sinking, and a $133 million seawall rebuild forced crews to rip out roughly 150 trees. Japan offered replacements before anyone asked, timed to America's 250th birthday.
So the genetics run in a loop. Tokyo's grove seeded Washington's. Washington's saved Tokyo's. The saplings going in this spring descend from both.
114 years of diplomacy, running on grafted branches.
