Unsafe or unsupported? There’s a big difference.

I feel like feminist do a disservice by using the "real man" label.

Men definitely need a place to open up... but sadly, it cannot be their partner. You need a therapist or a men's group somewhere.

I’m older and my wife was a partial feminist. She got her masters, worked white collar jobs for a Fortune 500. Also took 2 years off when the kids were little and all that is great. She also made it 100% clear that if I ever wanted to take time off to be with the kids she would divorce me because she wouldn’t support a man (despite all household expenses being paid out of my paycheck the last 13 years of our marriage)

also it is a reasonable to ask for emotional safety. everyone deserves emotional safety.

I feel often we are the victims of this economic system. we work exorbitant hours to try and provide a livable standard. this is true regardless of gender. but if we want better relationships we need time to replenish friendships and familial relationships. as a consequence we bleed support structures. people who are drowning can't save one another.

LetsCheckItOut :
Eigh. I think it’s okay to talk about your experience, but I wouldn’t frame this is a “male breaking away from patriarchy” problem or a “men being forced back into patriarchy” problem and that’s probably where you should get push back. Anytime anyone is breaking away from a societal standard they are going to be “corrected” and socially ostracized. That’s why it takes courage. It’s better to phrase it as a shared experience of trying to change norms than like…male victimhood. Same thing with the crisis in your family- yeah, it’s hard to have to put your needs to the side for a period of time to ensure the family crisis is resolved, that’s not really a male victimhood thing that’s more of an adult thing, it’s what adults do. You can talk about it being hard but once you frame it as male victimhood it makes it sound…🤮. The main problem I see is the reframing of generalized experiences as male specific victimhood instead of just like…how it feels as a man trying to change standards, or how your specific life situation is hard and how being a man intersects with that. The way you present things almost sounds like you are trying to use your attempt at deconstructing patriarchy and the struggles you are experiencing as a tool to gain a different type of entitlement - the “male deconstructing patriarchy” entitlement instead of just talking about your experiences. Not saying that is your intent, but it is your effect.

Getting cut down for evolving is rough, getting cut down bc it is assumed I'm not evolving/they only see the strawman is also rough, but we got ourselves and each other, let's keep growing

As a man who is an elementary school counselor, you hit the nail on the head. Men will judge your for not being a “traditional male.” Women will judge because they believe “it’s all men.”

I had a problem with my ex-husband where he would trash talk with his step dad and the other men in his life while I was in earshot. I walked in on him saying "I only married her to have a family". For me that meant he wanted a brood mare. Which I am not.

Personally as a Latino man, it doesn’t help me survive. If I slow down I know I may never get back up. To many people need me. And if tried to unback it all, we won’t make it. It a luxury I don’t have.

Thank you for sharing. This is an essential message for the world to hear. You articulated it from love and truth. I bow to you 🙇. A men’s movement is needed. I’m hoping to help with that. We need so many more men like you and women who get this. I just shared this post and hope to collaborate more in divine time

the partner one hit home. my ex considered herself aggressive itself then would gaslight me in the same way..and everything was mansplanning even if it was just talking about something enjoyable and looking for feedback. That being said changing this behavior of society is to be accountable but also create boundaries so we can be ourselves beyond our closest quarters and loves ones. Us being guarded will sadly be our responsibility as a generation to slowly push that change while being hit by both the hilt and the blade.

I have a really good therapist who’s a man, and I really recommend you find one if you can. Probably someone your age, ideally someone who is liberal but came from a more traditional upbringing. I think you owe it to yourself to find that person as you do this work. Also - I’d offer that the young version of you, the boy who wasn’t allowed to feel, is exactly where you need love. And no one, not even a perfect partner, can love that boy better than you can. He needs Dada Emotion Soup. He needs to be able to say, this reminds me of mom and dad fighting, and know that you’ve got him in his fear and his grief. You’re going to keep him safe. He deserves protection. 🤍
