I have to admit, I've thought some of the same things. What I really relate to is this general, vague, unspecific feeling that men as a category these days are just "not liked." And basically, kind of unwanted. Feels like there is enormous pressure for men to be successful and really no specialized support resources. The support resources that do exist for people in general tend to be under-utilized by men and often unsympathetic to the feelings of men. For a large portion of men, it is extremely hard to seek support or tolerate emotional vulnerability and sadly even in this day and age that generally is not taken very seriously at all. A lot of men are falling through the cracks because they just are not finding the emotional resources to develop into well-rounded people.

I mostly try not to think about it because it actually makes me feel really awful. I try to ignore thoughts of how I will be treated based on being male, however a lot of times you can just feel it in the way people treat you from square one, and it really sucks.

I think some of it has to do with the growth of social media, the voice of our culture is just more predominately female these days. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, I just hate to see that being used as a platform for bashing men rather than for something positive.

But we live in a weird world these days. Just gotta stay strong and keep pushing through it.
