#Veteran made #homeless by state & ex-wife while I suffered frm #depression. Social critic for progress with focus on feminism attacks on human dignity.
#Men don't have the monopoly of abuse. Women too can be violent, often in a covert & hypocritical way. But society refuses to acknowledge that this form of violence exists, labeling men who complain as either weak or dishonest. #DoubleStandards#mensrights#MensHealth

Alas! It is delusion all--
The future cheats us from afar:
Nor can we be what we recall,
Nor dare we think on what we are.

The BPS posted for International Men's Day today. The first time! All these years they've posted for IWD but not IMD. Thanks to @MalePsychology no doubt, as the post was about his article. Oh & congratulations on becoming a new dad (I only found out about your baby from the post)
Besides, what one must fear is not so much the sight of the immorality of the great as that of immorality leading to greatness.

The Devil always builds a chapel there;
And 'twill be found, upon examination,
The latter has the largest congregation

A woman was charged with involuntary manslaughter in Massachusetts after her boyfriend killed himself. Officials say she was abusive toward him and allegedly urged him to kill himself hundreds of times https://t.co/5Lp5gKJelb
Insisting 4 a date, holding her hand without permission, touching her knee or kissing are at worst clumsy seductions, not crimes.
Revenge by denying the right to work is against the law.
But after 30 years, except crimes against humanity, they prescribe.

Later today I meet with my psychologist to complain... again. She want to know what can be improved... what she normally does is listen, then does nothing.
"we need to call masculinity out as a hazardous ideology"
Typical straw man argument: define masculinity as something nasty (e.g. misogynistic & homophobic) and they start complaining about how nasty masculinity is.
I think we all know who is peddling the nasty ideology here.
When I was 20 I agonized over finding the right girl. I found her, married and had kids. Perfect life? No. It rapidly turned into a nightmare - 30 years long, that even continued after divorce. Why do we so badly want what's bad for us?

If a man puts down women, he's condemned as a misogynist. But if a woman puts down men, men are viewed as the problem for having elicited a woman's reaction.
This shows the anti men, pro women bias of our society, where men must carry the sins of others for the sake of women.
"You may have heard people complaining about the overrepresentation of men in status positions, you will hear less about the overrepresentation of men incarcerated, homeless, addicts, school dropouts." Tanya Reynolds studies this bias. https://t.co/mm68Wag2Ru
