Science

Fuck I just typed out such a long and thoughtful response. It was the perfect balance of addressing all the misconceptions in the comments and giving my opinion on the actual issue without at all relating anything women vs man.

My finger slipped and I hit the back button on jeboa and I lost the whole comment. I'm really feeling the traditional masculine urge to express anger and engage in risky behavior.

Would I get downvoted for pointing out that this is one of the reasons I'm a feminist?

The details make the headline come across like “humans who refuse to acknowledge mental heath and emotional needs are at a higher risk of suicide” which tracks, especially from my American point of view. What passes for manliness, at least for some who really care about being traditionally “manly,” is essentially an excuse to act like a child and/or cope while in denial of mental illness.

With some people it seems like a subconscious addiction to self harm. It can be so hard to have compassion for oneself sometimes. At some point you have to give yourself permission to pursue the things that actually make you happy rather than the things you’re supposed to like. (Details vary based on the individual and their local culture)

This is why I wanna be a stay at home dad.
