I have social and emotional deficits and have never been able to hold down a job.

This article argued that men’s lack of emotional support systems leads to increased burdens on women in relationships—coining the term “mankeeping” to describe the emotional labor women perform in supporting their male partners - The Hidden Costs of Men's Social Isolation: When men suffer social isolation, women may pay the price, too - www.scientificamerican.com/.../


I chose Option 2 – Men’s struggles shouldn’t be framed through the lens of how they affect women. That’s not empathy—that’s ego wrapped in victimhood.
This article tries to sound supportive of men but ultimately centers women as the ones who suffer because of men’s loneliness, as if men being emotionally isolated is a burden on them. Imagine framing women’s depression or trauma by saying, “Well, men suffer when women are emotionally distant.” It would be considered sexist and dismissive—and rightly so.
Emotional labor exists in both directions. If a woman is exhausted from carrying the emotional weight in a relationship, that’s a valid issue. But that doesn’t mean men’s pain is hers to fix—or that his isolation is somehow her responsibility. That kind of framing only deepens the gender divide and discourages men from seeking help.
If we actually want to support men, we need to talk to them, not about how their pain makes things harder for everyone else.

‘The protection of men has been replaced by the state… now women are dictating what the government does, often to the detriment of civilization itself.’ Do you think the decline in traditional male roles has led to the collapse of societal stability?


There’s truth in this. When the role of protector and provider is stripped from men, and instead handed to a faceless system, what’s left is emotional disconnect, purposelessness, and instability. The state isn’t a husband, and bureaucracies don’t love. When women begin to dictate state policy based on fear or ideology, rather than collaboration with strong men, we drift into imbalance—where safety becomes control and protection becomes power.
Real civilization thrives when men protect and women nurture—not when the state replaces either.

Firstly, all respect to those of nonbinary gender identity. Represent by selecting C (or applicable poll response) and commenting to weigh in.

Also; I do not deride SJWs. I'm more than qualified as one myself. It just makes sense for us all to ask one another to maintain healthy standards of political correctness, AND of simple interpersonal respect.

It's the mark of the true SJW, though, to hold oneself to consistent standards, and to admit it when one lapses. It erodes our good name when we over-enforce, or when we simply deny our mistakes.

This question is about first-world nuisances. Hope most of us regard it as a necessary nuisance when someone counter-intuitively corrects you on someone else's pronoun preferences (i. e. when you're told not to call that hottie in form-fitting jeans "her"). Stay on watch for those personal pronoun preferences.

And it makes sense to say "they" if you know an individual specifically prefers you to. And it's okay to say "they" if you lack knowledge of an individual's gender identity, or especially if you don't know her/his/their actual gender. (Note my example of the articulate solution. It's rarely asking too much to write or to say "he, she, or they.")

Whereas the trend of PRONOUN OVERWATCH is an unnecessary nuisance. If you know someone likes to be called "her/she" and someone else likes to be called "he/him," then why say "them/they?"

When I noted that this bothers me, it felt like healthy emotional self-honesty. It soon got me wondering if maybe being bothered is more of a guy thing, so I decided I might as well poll. I considered polling women only, but realized there's no reason not to keep it open to all.
