Men face numerous issues: Violence against men is often accepted, forced conscription, high suicide rates, our life expectancy lags way behind women, and so forth. These subjects have been discussed to death, to the point where saying any new can seem impossible, yet precious little is being done to alleviate these issues. It can often seem that as long as women are doing better, everything is fine. Nothing else needs to change.

And so perhaps the biggest problem faced by men at large is the belittling of serious issues.

Throughout history, better conditions have always been something people have had to fight for, and so I guess the duty lies on those of us who are able, to do what we can for the men in our lives and perhaps even beyond. And to convince others who are able to do the same.

I don’t know if this place has died, so this is just in case it hasn’t.
