Comment on MEN.
Sergio@slrpnk.net 3 weeks agoI didn’t say anything about gender, and I agree with everything in your comment. In addition, I maintain that the original post’s divide-and-conquer victim-blaming is one of the worst possible takes on the fact that accessing mental health care (in the US) is harder than performing esoteric medieval alchemy.

Hm, I’d see the joking about men in this case as a way to blow off some steam caused by the frustration of how the people in our society with the most power and who are the most violent continuously refuse to change anything or make concessions. Men not going to therapy and working on their issues results in heightened patriarchal violence. And it is just utterly frustrating how many decades people have fought for systemic change just to see the vast majority of men blocking any change or even pushing back against it.
