Depressed, committing suicide or just doing nothing. But apparently nobody cares.

> Depressed, committing suicide or just doing nothing. But apparently nobody cares.

We've had a decade+ of men being told they're useless oppressors, who've earned nothing for themselves, whose "time is up", and that they haven't a place in the future. Couple that with the loss of shared identity in general, the breakdown of the family, the bias in the divorce process, the disappearance of purposeful work and more and it's no surprise that we're in the situation we're in now.

The ever-changing "ideals" and "values" we're building modern society on are as brittle as a house of cards.

A note: I'm a happily married man with a career I enjoy and am optimistic for my own future, so the above isn't coming from some sense of ingrained / developed resentment, merely observation.

>the bias in the divorce process

That one you can probably place the blame squarely on the conservatives for. That bias made some sense back in the old days when women couldn't possibly hope to get a job that paid anywhere near what her (now ex-)husband earned. But things are completely different now, but the court system is still stuck in the 1950s. Meanwhile, the men who complain about this bias continue to vote for conservatives.

Somehow, I don't think that there are many conservative judges in family courts. Family court judges heavily lean female and liberal.

Well, let's look at examples from other countries. Do liberal western European nations have this same kind of bias in their family courts, or not?

Many "liberals" in America really aren't that liberal, and women in America generally lean conservative from what I've seen, despite their claims of being liberal. For instance, the number of single women attending church is much higher than the number of single men (find a single woman who identifies as active Christian and ask her if she has any luck finding single guys at church).

Conservatives aren't the ones who insult me when I try to talk about men's issues.

There was a former senate candidate at a Maine Democrats meeting who joked about how middle-aged white men killing themselves is good for the country, and the crowd seemed to find it pretty funny.

Well, yes. But specifically I'm referring to people who blame men for all kinds of problems, complain about "the patriarchy" and things like that.

They'd get a lot more sympathy if the first association people have isn't stuff like gamergate and QAnon.

Men do in fact get more prison time for the same crimes when compared with women!

While that's most likely true, it only accounts for a very small amount of the gender imbalance. In reality, men simply choose to commit violent crimes, or get involved in violent criminal careers, far more often than women.
