Men's emotional struggles continue

[Black Orchid]

The person I referred to previously was NOT poor. They were rorting the system and taking FROM the poor and those who really needed it so get your facts straight. If people looked down upon you that's no reason to carry it on and look down upon others either. If you want to feel morally superior maybe you should try to move past it and act accordingly.

[Nom De Plume]

It is a touchy topic.
Us men are much more sensitive than what might be assumed.

Let's continue cautiously.
We may be helping men or women here.

As a woman who had an 8th grade education, 2 children before I had turned 19, was single and on the pension I will show as little compassion as BO et al showed towards the poor. I may not be poor now, but I lived with that stigma for a long time... the judgements and belittlements by people just like BO...

But you want me to show compassion for the white man... no thanks... white man made this system... and if I can survive and thrive in the system why the fuck cant men. If I can survive the stigmas put upon me by a harsh society why cant men?

But wait, there's more... I also survived domestic violence and every day I survive chronic pain from my back that I broke horse riding. Still, I managed to turn that 8th grade education into a Masters... I put my children through university without any help from their dead beat dad...

It takes resilience... which seems lacking in the weak of mind...perhaps.

And I did all that using the white man's rules... So it is quite fair and reasonable to ponder... If I can survive and thrive in a world made for men... why cant they?

Yes and yes.

Some men lack emotional maturity, support and resilience.

Some men take this out on women. This is bad.
If we can help men to grow emotionally, they may not harm as many women, men or themselves
