[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree that men have problems unique to them that we should be thinking about more...it seems to me that their own toxic masculinity is eating them away from the inside.  The reason they are so angry about losing privilege and status is that they’ve been taught for so long that this is the basis of their worth as a person and that it’s their responsibility as a man to use their wealth and privilege to shelter their loved ones.  I see it even in guys who are pretty feminist—this creeping fear and anxiety that they can’t meet that expectation.  It comes out as anger, sleeplessness, heart conditions, alcoholism, etc.  Its really sad—the make mystique that is as toxic as the feminine mystique.[/quote]

I quite agree with this.  I think women have more flexibility in some ways, than men do.  We also tend to have more supports.  It's a shame that this has changed.  My parents both belonged to clubs and social organizations, and were active in church, and involved with their siblings and peers. If they needed something, there were multiple people in their lives that they could call on.  Few of the men that I know in subsequent generations seem to have that level of community support.
