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.
People with principles defend what’s right, even when it’s unpopular. If you won’t defend the truth because of gender bias, you’re simply a spineless hypocrite who stands for nothing. That’s a pitiful way to live.

Pornhub analyses
All of these have found that women are searching more pornographic videos with violence-against-women than men.
So you're morelikely to befriend a woman who watches violent porn than befriending a man who watches violent porn.
@Chi_lady_89 If you've not been in the head space, you won't understand how they come to this conclusion. The best way I can describe it is, you feel so worthless that your death worths more to you than you living. It's not a wake up and do thing. It probably lingered for years.

@bluewmist If a job pays you 10 bucks. That's 10 bucks more than nothing. You don't start climbing a ladder from the middle. There is always a launch point. And you are definitely at yours
