    I got about have way through before I couldn't take it anymore.

    Did you even stop to think for one second that these "guys that pile on" know EXACTLY what you meant when you say toxic masculinity and that THAT is the freaking problem?

      Ok, I got through the rest of it. Anger is the only acceptable emotion? Are you kidding me? Ugh.

      20% is kind of sweet in it's sentiment but it's largely overwhelmed by the 80% where you down know jack about what you're talking about. You've seen too much highschool "bro" movies, listened to too many feminists/women tell you what goes on in a man's head as opposed to actually listening to men, and romanticized men too much in my opinion.

      I can handle an idiotic angry rant about men, but I hate when people come to me being really nice and acting like I don't know any better. MOST guys who've heard the term toxic masculinity understand it. They still get irked about it because it's ridiculous and/or offensive, and they really get angry when you keep telling them that they "just don't understand." Yes. Yes they do. The majority understand feminism and toxic masculinity and all the rest of it. Please stop.

      this is actually the reason i hate feminism, because women keep complaining when there blind to the fact they have all the support in the world. And are taken seriously. Whats more important? making sure there is no wage gap in every profession, or stopping 5x as many guys jumping off a cliff?

      Is it perhaps because you stop listening the moment someone says they're a feminist?

      I follow lots of feminist blogs and publications and issues surrounding masculinity and how it affects men is a fairly common theme...

      no i listen to what people have to say, there is some purity in feminism. But have you heard the shit anita sarkeesian comes out with. I saw a video where she was criticizing how in a game a woman's hips were wider then the mans, and she was walking in a more feminine way then a man.
      And the man in this game was very muscular and was walking in a very hard man way, not at any point did she pick this up.

    I dont really agree with any of this. As many women as men sufferer mental illnesses and try to kill themselves its just that men frankly being more practical in general are more successful due to the methods they use

      I got six down votes because some folks can't handle the truth. Men tend to hang themselves, shoot themselves or gas themselves in the car whike women prefer pills or slashing thrir wrists in the bath tub. Men take the more practical guranteed routes to suicide.

    Toxic masculinity is what pussyboys call it when they feel left out but instead of changing themselves they want people who don't hate themselves to be just as unhappy as they are.

    This is the most BS my take I've ever read.
    This is why society has gotten weaker and men have gotten softer.

    No offense woman, but stick to feminism and 'womanliness'.

    I have to say that, the Alcohol dependence one really hits close to home. I was an alcoholic for many months, and it is hellish. It's like the only thing you look forward to in the world.

    This exists because of women. Women expect men to be 'men'. This is why we never show our emotional sides, we only show anger (masculine trait) and happiness. It's something that is taught to kids from a very young age. Boy cries, mom tells him not to cry and that boys don't cry. As a result, boy becomes emotionally withdrawn as an adult... and then women wonder why men don't open up. You did it. Everyone knows women HATE sad men.

      "Boy cries, mom tells him not to cry and that boys don't cry."
      Actually no. It's the dad that tells him that.

    In my opinion being noble is key! Not a fakeness kind, but a real sense of being noble makes a real man.

    The absolute worst thing men can do is allow women (especially feminist) to define what is acceptable when it comes to masculinity.

    I disagree with your definition of what make a man a "real man". You are not a man, so you don't know what it takes to be a man. This is basically "A woman's opinion on what makes a real man".

      I might make a take on what it feels like to be pregnant, give birth and be a mother. It would be just as good as this take.

    A real man is a man in control of his own shit, and in control of the shit around him. Keeping his woman seen but not heard, making sure she's got the house clean and dinner ready on time, these are strengths of a real man.
