I'm not disputing anything you say, just want to point out a couple of possibilities for support for men. If you can't find any, try creating some support groups to address your issues. Men are abused. My cousin was one of them. He was also an alcoholic as was his wife. Have you tried reporting the abuse to authorities? Have you told the medical personnel that treats you and asked for their help? Bring it out into the open. If I didn't know it was that prevalent, how many others are also unaware?

Until very recently, like 100 years ago or less, women were considered property whose value was on a par with a horse or a cow so, yes, many women do have a toxic view of men and their issues. How many mem still have that attitude? No apologies from me on that topic. Have some honest conversations with the important women in your life, as an exchange of information not accusatory or as a victim. Women have been oppressed. They've been paid less than men for the same job.

I'm way passed retirement age. When I started working I was told my pay was less for the same job because the man doing the same work had a family to support. He was single, by the way. And what if I had been supporting a family? Would I have bern paid more? Doubtful.

You want some commisions on men's health, start some. Get doctors involved. Call on mental health specialists. Knock on doors. Women didn't and still don't get the help they need by sitting back and waiting for it to come to them. They have to advocate for all the help they can get.

Also, a lot of men need to change their attitude toward women if they want our help. I once went out with a guy that always dated my much more attractive and outgoing friend. I asked him why he'd never asked me out before. His reply, and I quote, I was the kind of girl a guy marries. She was the kind of girl a guy dates. End of quote. That was the end of that date and very eye opening. So I was good enough to cook his meals, wash his dirty clothes, clean his hoyse, etc but not good to take out in public on a date.

Women are not the enemy (or toys) of men any more than modern men should be the enemy of women. We need to be supportive partners not adverseraries.

I asked him why he'd never asked me out before. His reply, and I quote, I was the kind of girl a guy marries. She was the kind of girl a guy dates. That was the end of that date and very eye opening.

Women are not the enemy (or toys) of men any more than modern men should be the enemy of women. We need to be supportive partners not adverseraries.

I'm not disputing anything you say, just want to point out a couple of possibilities for support for men. If you can't find any, try creating some support groups to address your issues. Men are abused. My cousin was one of them. He was also an alcoholic as was his wife. Have you tried reporting the abuse to authorities? Have you told the medical personnel that treats you and asked for their help? Bring it out into the open. If I didn't know it was that prevalent, how many others are also unaware?

Until very recently, like 100 years ago or less, women were considered property whose value was on a par with a horse or a cow so, yes, many women do have a toxic view of men and their issues. How many mem still have that attitude? No apologies from me on that topic. Have some honest conversations with the important women in your life, as an exchange of information not accusatory or as a victim. Women have been oppressed. They've been paid less than men for the same job.

I'm way passed retirement age. When I started working I was told my pay was less for the same job because the man doing the same work had a family to support. He was single, by the way. And what if I had been supporting a family? Would I have bern paid more? Doubtful.

You want some commisions on men's health, start some. Get doctors involved. Call on mental health specialists. Knock on doors. Women didn't and still don't get the help they need by sitting back and waiting for it to come to them. They have to advocate for all the help they can get.

Also, a lot of men need to change their attitude toward women if they want our help. I once went out with a guy that always dated my much more attractive and outgoing friend. I asked him why he'd never asked me out before. His reply, and I quote, I was the kind of girl a guy marries. She was the kind of girl a guy dates. That was the end of that date and very eye opening.
