  • I would also think that this “men-up”-mentality is a generational thing and eventually (hopefully) dies out soon (in men and women and anything inbetween). In order for that to happen it would probably help not to reproduce and repeat the belief that the mentality persists (for example by sharing memes that suggest otherwise…maybe i can help with that). You know… be the change you wanna see.

    I guess there is also a nasty trend of going backwards and anti-DEI all over the world (in my understanding the E in DEI is suppose to also cover that whole male-mental-health inequality aspect) so that doesn’t help.

    Regarding the response “go to therapy”: i was told the same thing several times and it sometimes felt like “i don’t want to listen to your problems anymore” or “go fix yourself, you’re not functioning like you’re supposed to” and that does hurt. As i grew older i realized that these responders usually mean well and probably were overwhelmed themselves or were simply unable to help or didn’t feel qualyfied enough to help. So the message they were unable to transport probably was something arround: “i care for your feelings and i am here for you but also i have limits to be respected and i want you to get the best help you need. Sadly i can not provide this, so i would suggest to seek help of a professional. I will help you as best as i can to make this happen”

    Another aspect is (I’m not trying to derail now, or use whataoutism this is just sideaspect or orverlapping development) the somewhat common expectation that women are expected to do care work or emotional labour for free, which sometimes gets disappointed. And maybe there is a trend of women being less willing to do so nowadays. I don’t know If that makes sense and one would have to look at actual data on this but i don’t even know which field of study collects data on this topic.

    any way it seems to be a somewhat complex topic but i stand with the believe that memes shape perception of the world and one can use that to also shape that stupid society for the better (i know i am heavily overestimating the power of memes but one can hope and dream :))

    that would have been my seconds attempt with the template. In the object tossing case several calculations have to be done:

    • what way of tossing causes the most damage
    • which object is most valuable
    • which object causes loudest noise when hitting the floor
    • what is the time when the owner just cleaned the floor and already stored the cleaning equipment away and which objekc would cause most dirt or debris after dropping

    I used to have a major crush on the brother of my best friend but never said anything. Mainly because i was a teenager and he was in his mid twenties and it would have made everything awkward between me and my best friend (it kind of feels forbidden where i come from). I think someone who seriously says something like this has nothing to lose or they know that nothing will ever happen anyway and they want to play mind games out of boredom or due to low self esteem.








  • usually my mom uses the first when things/tools/equipment/objects do not work like they intended to do. or simply if she expected more the second one is is usually if someone or something looks ugly or if someone missbehaved or did something wrong. the third is mostly used when something is very ugly, of bad quality, just like in you case, tastes bad


  • sure… 9-8 min per job interview including welcoming the candidate, smalltalk, talking about the bullshit role you have to offer, listening to the candidates speech about why they are the best match for the bullshit role, asking critical questions about hypothetical job situations, pressing the candidate to buy a pyramid-scheme soda, saying goodbyes and escorting the candidate out.

    sure that sounds realistic
