So pretty much 100% of which is a consequence of behavior/policies/actions of other men. We need more women in positions of power.

How in the world did you jump to that conclusion?
-
How? In a word: patriarchy. Google it, read up, acquire knowledge, expand your mind.

You are part of the problem
-
No, I simply refuse to blame all of the worlds problems on a single gender/race/religion/ideology/orientation. Life and civilisation is far more complex than that.

Y’all are great for your mutual support, we’re obv in this together. Just like many men suck many women suck too. The women in my life are all fantastic people who treat me with care & I them. But other times I’ve been put down for expression of deeply felt emotions, care.
-
Women can express love/care & it’s ok b/c it’s part of their caring nature. Men can’t without it being sexual, according to minds of most. “Deep emotions” must mean lust/love. Nope just deep care. For women: normal, men: weird. It puts me in an emotional box, makes me feel alone.

“So what” I’ve been told, to which point I have to tell them about the pain men feel, the 4x suicide rate of men from this emotional isolation and how attitudes like this continue to drive us (men/women) apart. We are all in this together

Again thankfully great people in my life, but nonetheless it’s the dance we live.

I really miss the days when you could pop into your local Saudi Embassy for a friendly cup of tea.

Which reminds me. Defusing things that matter with crap humour is another bad thing men learn.
-
Gallows humour. I see it as a positive thing.
-
It can be, yes. I've also seen it used as a way of closing down things worth investigating.
-
You have an example? Genuine question, not trolling.
-
Thanks. Appreciated. HER: I'm worried about my sister. HIM; Should be too, the face on her. Serves to belittle concern. Could be he's wary about impact of one sister on other and doesn't know how to say, sister's issues reflect his own, or more. Seen it many times. Sense?
-
I see your point, but I'm not entirely convinced. I'd characterise Gallows humour as laughing in the face of adversity, something like: "courage under fire". It could be negative, but on the whole I think it's positive.
-
Sure. But my starting point here 'defusing things with crap humour'. I see gallows humour as different, and experienced plenty of that working in a homeless hostel.
