As a men, I love your answer. I would upvote it 100 times if I could.
The society is always pushing the ideal of men that is bold, strong, independent, commandeering, never showing weakness.
It creates a culture of toxic masculinity and deep insecurities that must be kept hidden, otherwise you are admitting to being weak and thus a lesser man.
IMHO it’ also a big contributor to the loneliness epidemic and incels existing.
As you said, it’s similar to the problem of the completely unrealistic woman bodies shown in advertisement. It’s unreachable by definition.
If you are a man, be kind, be open to others and be vulnerable. You are enough as you are, you’ll live more happily if you stop chasing whatever others call “perfection”, and start living your life as yourself. You are the strong one for fighting against those deeply unhealthy ideals, instead of succumbing to it.
I really support femnism too: the right of being treated as a valid person, equal to everyone else, should apply to all. Men and women alike.
Advertising has a long history of creating problems to sell you a solution. But it’s just so insidious nowadays. And it seems to be targeting people at a deeper level.
These ED commercials are just so awful.
Wife ignoring you?
Men at work not respecting you?
Feel lonely?
Also women are definitely judging you. They all KNOW you are inadequate.
It’s probably because you can’t produce an erection for 4 hours straight at the snap of your fingers.
They don’t care that this causes cultural and society problems. They just want money.
