Disabled person here. Thank you for letting us know that watching other people find joy in things like coffee, eating out, and going on vacations while we sit at home in pain and depression isn’t a form of suffering.

Ironic that you complain about men disappearing in their 40s when this happens so pervasively to women it’s called Invisible Woman Syndrome.
Aging out of societal relevance is hard for everyone. Let’s not pretend that this is a uniquely male thing, especially when women are pressured to conceal their aging to a far greater degree.

I agree that men should actively be part of the solution, but there is a healthy way of doing it without involving guilt and self-depracation.
Men’s mental health is a critical part of feminism. This is because when men’s issues are accepted and destigmatized, it helps destigmatize it for women too. Encouraging mental health support among men means reducing women’s role in providing emotional labor.
It is. And no, I’m not one of the good ones.
Women are tired of ‘man guilt’ the same way PoC are tired of white guilt. At best, it’s self-depracating. At worse, it’s performative. Women want empathy and to be heard, not to hear an empty gesture that then gets weaponized by anti-feminists.
Apology not accepted. If you personally never did any of the above, then an apology is not needed. Nor is it fair to ask of men to apologize on behalf of other men who did. Women don’t want apologies from men who aren’t at fault. They just want men to stand up for them.
I get the sentiment, but wording matters because this is the kind of rhetoric the manosphere loves to take out of context to claim that men have to apologize for just being men.
Why are there so many mastercard ads on lemmy lately?
Someone needs to go prune the astroturf.
Weird how this meme format is always ‘man nerd’ and ‘woman normal’.
Someone’s been enjoying Josh Johnson’s shows.

The fact this car would be toast in some countries speaks more to its car dependency infrastructure, creeping vehicle sizes, dangerously high front end heights, and extraneous emotional support trucks.

Men were able to work 40 hours back then because women were relegated to unpaid domestic labor and childcare.
When women entered the workforce, these expectations were slow to change. So now, everyone gets to work 40+ hours and a few dozen more at home. And that’s the best case scenario where both partners shared the mental load. Bonus points if they have a kid which is a 24/7 job.
In a sane world, with double the people working you would expect their hours to be halved. But that will never happen so long as corporations continue to disguise the exploitation of workers as ‘feminism’.

Nope. Just reading with basic comprehension:
