Maybe OP posted it ironically
SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 11 months ago
It’s in numerous places.

Considering it’s posted here I assume OP is a shithead who thinks that men think everything is about them and it’s always men’s something day/week/month and trying to make pride month about men.
stebo02@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
because it’s actually pride month

It’s a glorious shit post. Half the comments will be support, half will be criticism, and the rest will be your sentiment. There is no way to tell who is being ironic on any side.

I wonder if this is posted in the correct community…
garbagebagel@lemmy.world 11 months ago
HM maybe the wrong community but it’s an important message anyway. Men’s mental health matters and if we all cared more about it, we’d have a lot less issues in the world.

Men’s menstrual health is also just as important.

This seems… unnecessarily gendered. I think these are things you can wish for everyone.
Katana314@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Let’s walk back and compare to a social cause that I think most people agree on.
Police violence is a problem. It’s a problem for all races, but black people have been disproportionately targeted for a long time, and are in all forms at greater risk. So, it’s fair to organize social movements around supporting that demographic to show they’re recognized and they matter; Black Lives Matter.
Male social isolation is also a problem. It’s been a problem for everyone, and loneliness affects all genders under modern social technological trends; but men are overwhelmingly gathering to movements that target their demographic and give them a sense of identity association. (Women and trans communities also gather to their exclusive groups to help identify their unique problems). Even if you don’t agree men are really victims, they can be warped into becoming perpetrators, creating more victims, if their mental health needs are not addressed.
And so, it’s fair to organize social movements around supporting that demographic to show they’re recognized and they matter; Men’s mental health matters. This of course does not need to detract from any other social causes happening.

I think the main thing that is unnecessarily gendered is they are trying to push the “blue is the only manly color” thing in this image.
Allero@lemmy.today 11 months ago
In principle, I do agree; but sometimes we have to explicitly highlight that men (or any other group) are included, because it’s often implied that some group is not.
It could be helpful to look into stereotypes people of both genders face that stop them, in this case, from seeking therapy. One can call out issues women AND men (and nonbinary folks) face on the topic, thereby both being very explicit that everyone’s involved, but maintaining a balanced message.
Something like “Men, you deserve support. You don’t have to be tough”, and then “Women, you don’t have to be a neverending source of care. You might need help too” etc.

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.
loomy@lemy.lol 11 months ago
I agree.
The internet could benefit by being more inclusive ; especially around (mental) health.
BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Point of this is to rise awareness that June used to be men’s mental health awareness month, to be able to live in harmony with men, but all changed when the LGBTQ community attacked.
peregrin5@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Maybe if you guys were better at gender bending you wouldn’t have lost the sexuality wars.
LordGimp@lemm.ee 11 months ago
No it fits. Men’s mental health month should be gay pride because we all know it’s homoerotic to seek therapy as men.
WhiteHotaru@feddit.org 11 months ago
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.
FQQD@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 11 months ago
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.

I don’t suffer from suicidal thoughts. They’re my coping mechanism!
