Problem is not with women having careers. Women should have a job to be independent from men. Problem is with women prioritizing career over family life. Every man wants to be succesful because succes results in having enough money to have a family. Modern feminism try to present the goal of having career is having money and living hedonistic life, the same thing feminists hate in rich hedonistic men.

Society itself is a testament to the "goodness" of man, however I often think we dont fully recognize that the baring that spins the fastest often heats up and breaks apart. there needs to be a talk about the ledger of man, Society wants man to be all good at all times, always self sacrificing, willing to take on danger/harm on behalf of others and always working hard but there has to be cons for the pros. Society has this weird thing where men are supposed to have no cons ONLY pros, and women have pros and cons but we now say there cons are just "another type" of pro. Men have a higher suicide rate, is this great? no HOWEVER it might be a byproduct of the fact men are required to do the most dangerous tasks and the part of the man that can cast aside the fear of danger to complete a task also makes him less adverse to suicide. "I wish men didnt care about sex so much" Imagine we had a genie who made this true and the result was a lot of women died... because coupled with that sex drive came a natural care for women to a greater degree that women have towards men, so more women were pushed into dangerous jobs, War and general conflict because mens natural desire to protect women (it being a byproduct tied to sexual desire) was reduced by 32%.... and most of the buildings and technology we enjoy also disappeared as it was coupled into the male sex drive to compete for a womans favour.

We are not pulling away, we were pushed away. Both my parents as white collar professionals in their respective fields made more at my age when adjused for inflation and already had me and my brother.

We are all in different fields but I believe nothing would change had I followed in dad or mum's footsteps.

Market value and income are not the only, primary, or ideal sources of "purpose" for men. At least they ought not to be. My parents lived through incredible poverty but reportedly never lacked "purpose."

[@obviouslyasockpuppet]

@colewhite3098 the point is, I can't afford the life my parents could at my age and I can't afford the lifestyle I got accustomed to growing up plus I can't find an employer willing to pay me the real market value of my skills. Everyone is cost cutting by offering below market rate like theyre doing me a favor because "no full time positions are available but we can offer you an internship" because they know it's a buyers market for labor. I'm still grateful for this job because I'd be out on the street or in my childhood bedroom without it, and that's where the retreat from society begins.

The problem here is that nobody is asking why men are sedating in the first place, and why they are feeling unneeded. Sedation is not the reason, it’s the symptom. Look around over the last sixty years.

[@TheMuscleArchitect]

The amount of times I've felt unneeded or unworthy is my biggest struggle in life. A sense of purpose is an adult human need just as much as food and water.

[@trig]

As a lad there where places where men could go and be with male friends to do male things. The pubs, football grounds, work, saunas, gyms. There is no where legally that men can go to the exclusion of women. However much we love and need them that's just not healthy. There was a time when men could support men by just being in each others presence but now if we try we are sexist, far right wing or creeps.

[@marieuzes]

As a woman I agree 100%. Both men and women do need their own spaces where they can hang out with their own sex. Interests are different, and points of view are funnelled through their experiences growing up as boys and girls, through the prism of their gender. We need to respect this and make it comfortable for men and women to have these spaces.

If I didn't have my job, which is the only thing I look forward to each day, I wouldn't have anything to live for. All my friends I made in high school and college spread out throughout the country so we effectively never see each other unless I make the effort to reach out and plan that we meet, but that's never reciprocated which have left me feeling invisible and unwanted. I know I'm supposed to make an effort to create new connections, but with 3 hours left each day coming back home from work I'm supposed to do groceries, cook, clean and work out - there's simply no free time. So the only real option is hanging out with a friend over discord until I have to go to bed each day. It's a cycle I find difficult to break, but if I whine about it like I just did none will listen or just ridicule me over how good I supposedly have it - life fucking sucks. At my age my parents already had a full life and with time to spare for a social life.

Men love feeling being needed and being told they’ve done a good job. It can be a simple thing like undoing a tight lid! The one thing that will make a man walk is to make him feel useless or inadequate. Have an argument by all means but never humiliate a man if you want him to stay. And never run him down in front of anyone. Men demand loyalty of those they wish to be around above everything else.

I don't think Reeves would agree with that characterisation of his argument. I think there is real wisdom in understanding that giving and providing can be rewarding, satisfying, and give meaning, especially for men. If there's no appreciation given, sure, that's unlikely to give satisfaction, but often appreciation is all that's needed. I give my time and skill to a charity. I get nothing in particular back except the satisfaction of being useful and the thanks of others. They don't even have to give much thanks. So long as I don't feel taken for granted I'm fine

I’m a Christian. Grew up in a good Christian home with loving parents. From the time I was a little boy going to public school, I encountered subtitle to openly hostile statements against Christianity from teachers, tv movie media depictions, etc. (I remember my second grade teacher saying Christians didn’t really care about science because they’ll just do what their church tells them). My parents response to this was always simple saying Jesus said his followers would be disliked or even hated. As I aged of course, the hostility became more ugly and open (I had a college professor say Christians should have to register as such and shouldn’t be given certain civil rights like voting, since they’re a bunch of crazies) - to clarify, not of these teachers, classmates were ever directly unkind to me. They were often very kind, just had a lot of hang ups about religion. I say all this because though my entire life, my faith has given me comfort, and purpose. I’ve been discouraged, stressed, sad, but never nihilistic or purposeless. I know the hostility that religion gets often stems from the frustration that the secular have with religious people being irrational, taking things on faith, or being manipulated by religious systems, (much of these things are undoubtedly true) but I’ve always been surprised that the existential peace and purpose derived from religion seems to be endlessly overlooked as a positive by the secular. Simply put, would we rather convert people to materialists that the potential for accompanying misery and nihilism is worth the cost? I’m not sure it’s a good trade.

I’m 70, female. I’ve watched this progression over the past 50 years. I worked full time and made twice the money my husband made. I am staunchly independent and self-sufficient a proud of my accomplishments in a number of arenas. But I have come to two conclusions. 1. Contrary to popular belief, most women would dearly love to be a stay at home mother during the first 15 years or so while child rearing is intense and demanding. The pressure on women from working and managing home-life is incredible and may actually influence the divorce rate. 2. If men would like to address their changing role, the economics need to be addressed. With the cost of housing, cars, etc., can men afford to be the only breadwinner and keep their families in comfort? Most can no longer do so compared to the boomer generation. So focusing on economic policy making is the only way to give women the space to not have to work while childrearing. Finally, men have an absolutely essential role in the life of a woman. It doesn’t look the same as men from the 1940s when the only thing men had to do was to bring home a paycheck. A man’s role is even more important now because he needs to model to his family what being a team player looks like. Model what being a loving man looks like to his children by being involved at a deeper level than our grandfathers were. It’s down to a finesse level now, not just looking over and seeing him parked in his easy chair. It’s a finer, finesse based existence men are struggling with.

[@allanvaninwegen1840]

Beautifully expressed. And I agree 100%. The problem though, is that such wisdom only comes after a lifetime of observation. In today's world, a lifetime of perspective is sought out, listened to, or enough to make a person of a younger generation fundamentally change. Technology is no longer beneficial in this area. The constant, addictive, onslaught of new noise and information overload, drowns out and dilutes our ability to value actual human value.😢

[@thewolfex1]

I agree with all this, but to extend, this finer experience must also be rewarded as well. It can’t be strictly just “men need to learn to show a finer experience” because if the opposite is rewarded, that’s what will be brought instead. Case in point, men have slowed on the versions of dates they do because it was through trial and error found that “better” dates weren’t more successful. IE, kids today wanna be KZbinrs because they see that as successful. What women want men to be has to be shown to be rewarded or it’ll just be another stopped idea like any other version of men.

It's more than just not feeling a sense of purpose, or being useful. It's also not being respected or appreciated, being treated poorly or unfairly, and not being taken seriously if one complains about it. It's being outright vilified, ridiculed, and too often ignored. And for divorced men, it is too often about having that which is most precious to them, that which they were literally bred to protect, their children, taken from them, alienated from them, and having no real recourse against the slanted, heartless system that took them from them in the first place. Being rendered not so much useless, but powerless and humiliated. And finding little to no hope that the situation will change for the better.

[@OneLine122]

Women are directly connected to the Eternal I would say, through mothering. Men don't have that, they need women as an intercession. If you cut that link, men simply loose this and obviously loose hope as well. It's more than purpose, it's basically the lack of grace in religious terms. It's possible to get around it, with communities and so on, but it's not as natural and really not the same. It's kind of dry and not convincing, although for a minority it works. It takes a lot of work to make it this way and usually it is done through actual work. Of course if you take that away, there is nothing left. Reeves is a bit optimistic, he thinks it's about "challenges" and not wanting to face them. That's completely false, it's more that men are not allowed to have challenges and if they do take some, are considered bad, so you don't get any validation, no community, no women and probably no friends either. It's inculcated very young as well, where taking chances for a man is punished while women doing it are rewarded. So of course people will feel valueless, they were abused all their lives and since they are providers, people that are supposed to care, they will instead internalize and hurt themselves and not allow themselves to be happy. And the adult society will also make sure you don't make it, unless you are considered useful by a woman temporarily, or are nice looking, or a good personality in some ways. But it's extremely precarious and conditional. So yes, I don't think any society has ever abused their children this way, so it is pretty much game over. There is no turning back and such a society does not deserve to live anyway. The world is much better off without it. Reeves is correct about that part, but he thinks some rats can leave the boat and save themselves. Not really.

Marketing, sex, materialism, insecurities through body imaging (throw plastic surgery at them), and you can see how alot of men would see this from an outside point, is how broken and flawed everything is. Woman really want men and want that strength and security that they bring. But if you just keep throwing money at them and push them to be independent, then you are lying to them, because I wouldn't have someone who is so "high and mighty" would be into me, if there wasn't some random pull that you can't explain. You are supposed to see your partner as someone who would would be a good representation of your children, like if my partner were to raise my kids or i were to raise hers, we wouldn't produce some wild offspring that had inclinations of hating their parents, due to their irresponsibility of finding a proper partner. I'm glad I'm born, but I hate the life that I had to endure cause of it, my partner is going to be a reflection of who I am. So either or of us, can raise the children and they will be completely understood, since both parents accept and know their confines and project that to the children. And to boot, since were okay with our proclivities and are less likely to clash, we are therefore a better leader for our children and lead by example, how we would want our children to live.
