    Fair. Just that nobody cares about mens problems, especially women.

      I think people do care about men’s problems, but too often it just comes out as “the problem is toxic masculinity”.

      Fundamentally yes that is a major problem, and we need to find a better identity that men can subscribe to. But it’s like taking a book and just showing people the last page: it seems like irrelevant nonsense without the preceding understanding.

      If we set up a place where we listened to each other, and to the feedback of women, with the intent of forging a new and more functional form of masculinity, I for one would be very interested indeed.

        What do you personally see as male problems? Without googling - just off the top of your head. Im intrigued as to what gets broadcast.

        Off the top of my head for women - safety (both physical and psychological), financial independence, equality of opportunity, disparate domestic and emotional load, sexual objectification, gender pay disparity (overall), representation.

        I won’t say reproductive rights because I don’t live in the US, and while body image is a problem, I think its also impacting a lot of young men too.
