  we need more male therapists and teachers. that’s what we need.

  we have systematically removed male teachers from the school system due to the pedophilia panic.

  rich men do those things. poor men do not.

  so do rich women.

  something is always better than nothing. esp if you are starving.

  I dealt with the same thing in all my relationships. Nothing got my gfs hotter than when I acted like a complete asshole towards other people. They got off the duality of me being shit to people and the being this ‘sweet man’ to them. And they’d get super jealous and bitter if I was kind towards anyone else other than them. It was Toxic AF.

  I’m so much happier single. I’d rather not get laid then have to be a POS asshole like they wanted me to be. Soooo many people get off on anti-social behaviors. I’m also so glad I never got married or had children with these ladies who have such a horrible Zero Sum way of thinking about the world.

  They wanted me to be vulnerable, but only in the sense that I was some heroic figure overcoming the odds. If i said I was sad when my dog died, then I was a giant pussy to them.

  .

  amen to all this. i really started removing ‘leftists’ people from my life and it was like… so much better because so much of their entity message is just this weird revenge/hate pron against straight white men, and men in general. when ironically, the people they should be angry at are the wealthy… but honestly most of these ‘leftists’ I’ve known were trust fund kids… so that tells you right there why they would never rag on the wealthy…

  normal well adjusted people don’t hate anyone or blame anyone for their problems. but for some reason it’s become mainstream A-OK to say horrible awful shit about men that would you get you banned/shitcanned/ostracized if you said ti about anyone else. esp in liberal/left groupthink.

  so are we going to help them, or are we going to wash our hands of them and let the problem fester?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  i pivot to wealth inequality because the wealthy have all the resources and the rest of us don’t have enough.

  that includes access to medical care and mental care.

  AI might also be giving them better advice than anyone else in their life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s is effectively self-treatment with more steps.

  And for many people it’s better than nothing and likely the best they can do. Waiting lists for a basic therapist in my area are months long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  incels are people. their problems are legitimate problems.

  why society can’t acknowledge this is beyond me. I guess because it’s socially unpalatable.

  incels or any extremist thing (terfs, religions extremists, etc) … is a product of the same issues. but people just want those people to ‘go away’ and not address the issues that would actaully make them go away… because that is hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  dude people here just want to dunk on men because it makes them feel good about themselves. it’s that sad, and that simple. they don’t care about having empathy for men, men are not ‘people’. they are ‘others’.

  they don’t really give a shit about… the issue at hand or the issues in the therapy industry/society that systematically disenfranchise many men.

  unironically they want men to ‘man up’ and ‘fix’ the problems and never acknowledge them. Because that is inconvenient for them and their viewpoints.

  and even if you think that the psychology of genders isn’t different, society treats genders differently and this either from the therapist who reacts differently to different genders, or from the patient who expects difference the point is the same: the construct of gender forces artificial difference, even if it’s not based in real “our brains are the same” science (which they aren’t - same as our biology isn’t quite the same)

  amen. brother, sister, or whatever preferred identity you want to be.

  more treating people as individuals, less as treating them as stereotypes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  how many well trained therapists are there out there who are totally objective, compared to poorly trained ones who will often perpetual their harmful biases?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yes, there is an incredibly amount of ignorance, and a lack of oversight about the entire thing.

  and so many internet jackasses who think they are experts about it, constantly pushing endless misinformation about every aspect of the process. esp the armchair diagnosing.

  ‘oh you had a bad day at work? you must have autism/adhd/depression/personality disorder’. or the fact anyone who was ever mean to you once in your life is a ‘narcissist’ or ‘gas lighting’ you.

  the bias confirmation is out of hand. even in this very comment thread… soooo many people just banging on their bias confirmation drum and screaming ‘no no no no, men are bad and should just go away and solve their own problems without bothering anyone at all ever!’ as if that attitude isn’t the biggest reason men, especially young men, feel so trapped about their lives.

  dude, you are the problem.

  that’s what you refuse to acknowledge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Your comment is just very one sided and that’s the side that has the most power on the planet and as a member of that side I have just as much perspective of you and I’m here to say – nah to most of what you said.

  The only ‘side’ that has power is the wealthy. But keep banging your gender war drum, it probably gives you meaning and purpose in life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  that’s what the manosphere is dude.

  and i bet you don’t like that either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes they are. The genders are massivenly different in a lot of ways, and failure to acknowledge that is sexist.

  But keep screaming that anything that disagrees with your particular narrative that women are great and men are bad, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Amen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The amount of sexism in this comment section is…unnerving. Does a community exist for male identifying people to talk and share their troubles in a non hostile space? If it doesn’t I’ll make one.

  No. Because if it it did it would be shut down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  a lot of therapists and psychs are also useless for helping men. because they are women and they are basically only trained to deal with women’s issues and only see women’s emotional processes and processing as ‘valid’. there is this default bias that men’s emotional processing is ‘flawed’.

  imo with mental health professionals all my ‘issues’ were blow way out of proportion. i only had one therapist who actaully helped me was a man and that person helped me understand that ‘not everything is your fault’. when all the other therapists/friends/family always 100% told me everything that happens to me is entirely my fault. they also told me it was normal/healthy to vent my feelings by doing productive things (like writing, exercising, relaxing), rather than viewing that as ‘not addressing the problem’.

  the issue with so much of this crap is that not only does nobody want to talk to men, it’s that they don’t want to listen and/or the tell us we are ‘talking wrong’.

  You’ve got it backwards. Society doesn’t work without a looming threat, whether that’s an enemy or the environment.
