    You’ve literally made that up. The comment you responded to didn’t say that.

    It’s your lie, tell it how you want I guess… Why are you punishing yourself by believing in such terrible ‘opinions’ from others? Especially online, you literally can’t verify who’s human anymore. You could be getting upset with someone purposely creating rage bait. Opinions are like assholes mate. Bullies only bully to pull a reaction. They’re getting it with you, why let them do this to you?

    I’ve never met a woman who only focused on men’s looks. Never. Looks for many women come after personality. Confidence sans arrogance wins that race mostly.

    You appear not to have peace inside, just making shit up…you don’t have to live life with such dark outlook. In fact, you may be creating a self fulfilling prophecy in doing shit like this.

      Explain what incel means, it’s literally a gender equivalent of the N-word.

      You don’t get to have opinions cuz I deemed you as an incel

      You are going around labelling people’s opinion as invalid, because YOU said so, a common bullying tactic. Also women go for status.

        equating to a self-describing virgin/celibate is equal to calling someone an N word, thats not even close and not even the same thing at all. i tell you why, incel is a name that men describe themselves, given to themselves. they wernt persecuted or targeted by a group and given deragatory name, incels literally named themselves that way. thats why fatphobia isnt a thing either.

          & it is used to invalidate their opinions. This entire comment section is proof of it. Other comments have pointed it out.

            This began because you saw people talking shit about men’s mental health. I asked where, and vauge responses, all online, were listed. As a wife and mother, not only did my husband and I talk about men’s mental health, but we also support our son’s mental health and well-being and what this all means for our family. Most online spaces, again, are not real. People say shit to get other’s riled up on purpose, all the time, that’s their goal. It’s working on you.

            Online, I often try and speak with disgruntled folks, both male and female, often male, because I know some of y’all hurt. I think I’ve some complex, I was raised as the eldest daughter with no mother in the home. Only a father, and I watched his decent into becoming, an isolated monster who hated all women, and himself most. I watched my father suffer first, and then turn his suffering onto his children. So, like, I feel real pain when I read about this type of attitude. I have first hand experience with deep pain. I suffer myself often, so I try to relate for that connection. Sometimes all a person needs is to feel connected to the society they live. However, sometimes my optimism is misplaced, but personally, I try anyway.

            The responses here read as emotionally charged and defensive. This is why I mentioned finding peace inside. You have to want it for yourself, and I hope one day you find optimism. If you lead life in a negative outlook always, you’ll get that back. Stop hurting yourself this way. The world is shit enough, why punish yourself more with isolating ideas?

            Just because the Internet said it doesn’t mean it’s true.

            Just because some rando instigator on the Internet shit on something meaningful to you, does not mean it’s not meaningful to anyone else in tangible life. Men’s mental health is vital for society and personal well-being alike. Take yours seriously. If it matters to you, take it seriously. No one else can do it for you. Fuck the haters. People shit on women all the time online, I don’t take it out on the men in my life. They aint the ones who say it. There’s a global division market right now, the uptick in division propaganda has grown exponentially over the last ten years, social media being it’s largest influencer. It’s becoming harder and harder to decipher what is real in online spaces. One must be vigilant and constantly scrutinizing, who is this message for? Why is this message being shared? What is the goal of the poster? How should I respond, if at all?

            The Internet’s easiest path to engagement is to touch on our deep emotions. Negative emotions are wired into our brains to be more easily recalled, it’s just science. It’s why one bad visit to, say a restaurant, hypothetically, where the waiter called you a name, is easily recalled, versus 10 great visits that were pleasant. Ten years later you hear the restaurants name, what will you remember about it? That shit waiter.

            Anger, pain, fear, and that whole section of emotions are some of the strongest humans can experience and they stick with us for a long duration. Media knows this. So in the virtual world, Why let the marketing win on you? Much of the Internet is marketed this way. Instead of leaving the restaurant and never going back, you are metaphorically arguing with that same waiter everyday, re-engaging that same emotion, over and over, until you’re so tied up in it’s ideas it can become your truth. Break free mate. You sound here, I’m sorry, but like an emotional instigator yourself. Is that who you are? Is that how you wish to contribute to our society?

            Why repeat “no one cares about men’s mental health” when you do? You care, are you no one? You’re somebody. Instead of saying no one cares, say, I care about men’s mental health. Don’t repeat lies fed to you on the Internet. You are not no one.

            Let’s say your initial thought was true, and women en masse, scoffed at mens mental health. I don’t care if every woman on the earth laughed at the idea of men’s mental health. That doesn’t change the message of the movement. If anything, should drive you to work harder so folks understand the message. Men scoffed for centuries at women’s rights and well being. They locked women away for hysteria, at the husband’s whim, not very long ago. Women didn’t give up, and you’re not to give up either. Advocate for yourself and your cohort, naysayers be damned.

            I care deeply about men’s mental health. Many of us out here do. I do not give a flying fuck if some other people don’t. I do. Stand for yourself, and I’ll stand with you.

            One must live the change they want to see.
