    i’m on the left.

    and yet all i hear is how everything is my fault. i get told not to rape. and that my penis makes me guilty of the crime of proto-rape. i’ve never raped anyone, but i’ve been raped. weird.

    i get told how i should contribute to leftist and community causes. i do that. then i get told i’m problematic because i should give up my position for a woman because i am oppressing women by contributing and taking charge when no one else will. then i quit. then they complain how men won’t contribute… weird

    i go to college, i get a job, i do well for myself. i get told that i’m a shitheel loser for not making more money, but then if i want to make more money, i’m a greedy selfish right winger… weird

    i hear how men should man up and marry women and have families becaues if they odnt’ they are man children forever. then i date and try to find women who want a family. they tell me they dont’ want families ebcause they’d rather spend all their money on themseles and travel and careers and children are evil… i dont’ date those women anymore then get told i’m a selfish asshole for not dating anymore… weird.

    it’s almost as if i get endless criticism and harassment and zero positive support from the world. i wonder why i want to check out of it entirely. weird.

      Sounds like a lot of outside comparisons you’ve latched onto personalize and abandoned yourself and no longer affirm yourself. There is therapy for this(and some good books out there for it eg: unfuck your brain(they also have a podcast)/the body keeps the score, anything Jay shetty and brene brown I found these quite helpful )

      So there are some options. That’s assuming you are willing to get involved in finding solutions for yourself with the problems you are facing.

      But jumping into a thread and getting involved only to threat ‘going right’ rather than digging in on this stuff as mental health stuff to address into a working solution….weird.

      It’s almost as if people are getting involved in this post to weaponize mens issues/mental health issues and not interested in being part of the solution in addressing these problems … also weird.
