Why have black history month or black lives matter, don’t all lives matter? Why have feminism, don’t all genders matter? Why aren’t cishets included in pride, can’t they be proud?!
These things exist to call out specific issues that exist for specific groups. Other groups might experience the same problem, but that doesn’t matter. This is for men and their specific issues. As a man we’re always told to just suck it up and keep going. To be strong. It was way tools late that I realized that I was allowed to seek help and feel emotions.

The point here is the same as with „Black lives matter“. Of course all lifes matter, but blacks are underrepresented, as are men in mental health topics.

Fair enough. I never felt it that way even as a man, but it might be cultural difference. This just felt to me like a “Bic For Her”-moment. But of course I do think mental health is important for men as well.
