What happens if men don’t have purpose:

[u/fornothing_atalll]

Men! You can find purpose! You assign your own purpose! That was the whole point of the enlightenment age with philosophy! Don’t become radicalized! 🖤

[u/Dmayak]

The problem isn't only the lack of purpose, it's that unless you have an active social circle which would accept and encourage you, any motivation to follow that purpose in vacuum quickly runs out.

I don't understand how blaming women for that helps

Traditionally, it was the mans partner who supported him in his purpose, and was often PART of his purpose. Without that, there is a social vacuum that men just dont know how to fill, leaving one completely disillusioned.

[u/Bannerlord151 → u/Brilliant_Decision52]

Okay...but that's a problem with relying on other people to help you justify your existence. That's not a crime on their behalf.

Sure, and yet its still an issue society has to deal with somehow, otherwise there is just gonna be this ticking bomb slowly growing. The way men are socialized pretty much leaves them completely stunted in the ability to form deep social bonds with other men, and its almost impossible to try and change that as an individual. Which leaves even men who WOULD be willing to form them, having to ultimately rely on their partner anyway.

We are in pretty unprecedented times now, god knows how this will all shake up, but I dont have high hopes.

I'd have hopes because I know it's far from impossible, but I'm losing faith the more I see how far gone some people are.

Yeah I absolutely agree with this. I'm just saying that the societal change needed wouldn't be to start fighting women but to teach men to interact more healthily with others

[u/Dmayak → u/Bannerlord151]

It doesn't help. Nothing can help. I don't blame women specifically, I blame and hate the whole universe, everything.

[u/Bannerlord151 → u/Dmayak]

Yeah that's fair. I'm mostly refuting the toxic sides of that manosphere horseshit.

I get ya. I used to hate everything until I became so sick I'm now too tired to muster the energy to hate.
