Lads. You’re part of the problem so don’t give it the big un making out you care about men speaking up now.
What a load of shit. They’re speaking the truth. If you got pissed over the Gillette advert SaturnV, that’s because you support what it was speaking against. If that 1 advert contributes to suicide, how the fuck are women not committing mass suicide considering the way they’ve been treated in the media?
I like that a poster literally posted just to blame women for male suicide, but you didn’t even mention that
Calm down. They aren’t speaking the truth at all. Even on a thread about male suicide and the issues men face posters like the above can’t help but bleat on about toxic masculinity or chirp up with but but women have these problems too. Hardly helpful.
The backlash against Gillette was predictable and deserved. It would be like making a tampon ad and filling it full of women abusers or false rape accusers or whatever else and expecting it to do well. It was divisive, ill advised and it’s hit them in the pocket.
Toxic masculinity is linked to male suicide. Ignoring this is making it worse. Do you actually care? Yes? Stop denying the link and actually try to help.
Toxic masculinity teaches men to never speak about feeling scared, depressed, worried etc. This leads to men refusing help. It leads to suicide.
It’s also nothing like rape accusations. False rape accusations are rare and have not impacted the world like toxic masculinity. It’s pervasive. It teaches men to keep silent, which is harmful to us. It teaches that femininity is weak, which is harmful to women. Toxic masculinity is absolutely nothing like false rape accusations, which are devestating, but have not helped to shape the world.
It’s people like you that are not helping men. You’re making it much worse, yet you claim to care. Stop putting your need to feel offended above the actual issues.
