Men Have No Friends and Women Bear the Burden
- coldnose 7y agoMen are toxic and evil, and women are noble and put-upon —- what a fresh and interesting idea, why haven’t I heard about it before!
- XaoDaoCaoCao 7y agoThis is such garbage. >Most men feel increasingly devalued in a society where student debt, declining job security, firsthand experience of the instability of modern marriages, the ravages of increasing obesity, and wacky dating space have put them on unstable ground >but the problem is "toxic masculinity" The usage of "toxic" has become toxic itself!
- akuchling 7y agoI thought this seems largely correct: "“Men don’t usually put the effort into maintaining friendships once they’re married,” Johnson says. “The guys at work are the only people other than me that my husband even talks to, so when some of these men retire, they expect their wives to be their source of entertainment and even get jealous that they have a life.”" A variety of posts about loneliness have been popular on HN, so I think this strikes a chord.
