Ask Lemmy

There are enough voices and role models, there are books on how bad men have it, there are podcasts (Diary of the CEO) and philosophers talking about it. I stumble upon the topic at least every week. For example there is a great video of Mathew Hussey on the dating crisis and how troublesome it is for men. He is a dating coach for women and still making good content for men. It doesn't seem to reach those who need it most, though. Could be trough algorithms, could be because they choose the hateful content with the "easy" solution (women are bad and need to be treated so) over the complex truth... That men had a privileged life for the last few hundred years, and now that women earn their own money they probably need to offer more than finance. By the way it is crazy how the world developed. Every household basically needs to double earn to survive so.. yes. Financing is not the thing most women are looking for anymore and men are not even being able to give it. There are political and social problems we all have to fight (together we could even do it but it is easier if we fight each other for those in power). Men suffer from patriarchy the same as women do. The difference is that now the privilege is gone and the gameplay changed, while some wealthy and reckless men pretend that it's about "them not trying hard enough". It's like people in America still believing they could become a millionaire if they try hard enough and trump is a "financial genius" for being rich... Instead of just being a lucky son of a rich man. It seems to be a tradition to step down on others instead of facing the truth... Some wealthy idiots are ruining our world for all of us. Instead of feeling helpless about this fact it's "the immigrants", "the feminists", or what else...
