Discussing men's mental health and how they are also victims of patriarchy, but too many too often unwilling to give up the benefits conferred upon them by the patriarchy.

In the 50's perhaps.

Now? Most young men are faced with a choice of a lifetime of debt or enlisting and risking their life in one of the many, many wars the United States unilaterally decides to start throughout the world. They are punished harder both in school and the American "justice" system, and if they show a shred of vulnerability, they are culturally ostracized too.

They also commit suicide at higher rates.

Men are too busy working 2-3 jobs in order to afford a roach-infested studio to worry about women, especially now that the so-called progressives (but really liberals) have decided that food and housing becoming cost-prohibitive is an okay thing. This is reflected in the decreasing population growth, birth, and marriage rates.
