In the first 10 minutes the speaker said a million things about men but literally when he mentions single moms the audience erupts in applause, I think that speaks a lot towards mens problems.

The legal system is incredibly biased towards women, to the point that it's an actual joke. My mother cheated on my dad when i was 8, he found out, she falsely accused him of domestic abuse and got full custody of me (she got full custody ONLY to spite him, she didn't care about me she just didn't want my dad to have me.) This caused me to grow up without my dad, in an abusive household with a revolving door of "step-dads" that i couldn't leave. My dad got into a serious depression over this and eventually stopped eating altogether and he died as a result. He was a good man, he didn't deserve any of this. Even 25 years later i'm bitter about this. The only person who cared about this was my grandmother, everyone else in the family either didn't care or took my mothers side because she told everyone he was abusive without any proof. Toxic femininity is very real.

"A child that is rejected by its village will burn it down to feel warmth" - old African proverb

"Being a man in modern society makes you an enemy of almost every activist group out there." Truer words

As a longterm female viewer, I was extremely caught off guard when the audience clapped for single mums. What is with the mum favouritism? I've seen some great dads lose their kids to shit mums because of the mother preference in court. My uncle committed suicide because he lost his kids to an absolute nutcase of a lady. Those two children now have nothing to do with their mother. We need to support families and I think that comes with really listening to men.

Postponing gratification only works if the person gets the reward at the end. If you show the person postponing gratification there is no reward at the end of it all, they fall into a deep depression. Guys are experiencing this first hand, the guys who went and studied for a job are being told they're average not good enough to beloved or to have a family and they're checking out. They do not want to live their whole life as a utility for someone else.

The clap at his comment about single moms proves that the audience wasn’t actually listening to what he was saying.

Women ignoring misandry reminds me of the people who say "you cant be racist towards whites"

The way they clapped when he mentioned single moms. A presentation about the issues of boys and men, and yet the single mom part got the most applause. The conditioning is real man 🤔

It's actually nuts how often I've heard the phrase "toxic masculinity" but never "toxic femininity."

It is shameful to think that many women think this man is spreading hate simply for acknowledging that being a victim of circumstance is not solely reserved for women.

The talk about rough-housing can be seen in dogs as well. You can tell a dog was separated from the rest of the puppies too early because they don't know how to play bite and gently grab. As a puppy if they bit too hard or got too rough the other puppy would stop and not want to play anymore. So the dog learns to be gentler. The result of early separation is a dog that gets in trouble because when play fighting they end up biting down and starting a real fight and causing injury.

I work as a teacher for 16-18yo, and pretty much every kid i have ever seen with problems comes from a home where the dad is not much involved or absent for one reason or another. This exact subject came up during a family dinner and i pointed out my experience and explained why dads are important. My sister (who is very much a far left feminist type) got angry at me because "A women can fill this role just as well as any man". She was perfectly happy to agree that women had an important role of their own and that dads had huge problems filling that role if the mother was absent, but when it came to the dad's role he was not really needed according to her. Sadly i see this kind of thinking more and more out there, and i find it insane that a lot of people actually think that men and women dont compliment each other. That it is not beneficial and even important to have both genders thrive and partake.

Notice how every time someone talks about men's issues they always have to pay lip service to women's issues in order to be taken seriously. Like what the fuck are we doing? The constant downplaying of men's issues in general is how we got here in the first place.

Im a single dad, with custody of my daughter and i can honestly say its NOT as hard as a narrative women have driven. Its definitely harder for a man raising the children because we dont have the backing from the judicial system like they do. My ex owes over 30,000 and they wont do anything, flip the script and my ass would be in jail. The hardest part about it is when you dont have the other parent being finanacially responsible.

Single Dads have it tougher than single Moms because they have less social support, they are less likely to receive child support, and there are less resources available for Dads.

Funny how a man gets called an incel instantly for speaking up about mens problems.

For those who do not know (or are too young to know), it was a bit of both Warren Farrell and Erin Pizzy (former OG feminist) who laid the groundwork into the crisis that men were undergoing under the new age of feminism. They were speaking outwardly about the problem before even Jordan Peterson came unto the scene. Famously, one of the conferences Warren Farrell had addressing the high rate of suicide among men, were brigaded and shutdown (via fire alarm pulling) by radical feminists where the occupants of the talk were hurled insults when some of them just attended to find out what drove their male friends to suicide.

I think Asmon hit the nail on the head. Increased social isolation has hugely negative effects of young men and boys. And like he said, how many of you actually know your neighbours nowadays. 20, 30, 40 years ago everyone basically knew your entire local community, so if boys didn't have a father, he would often at least have a father figure. But now community isn't a thing. So no wonder there's loads more antisocial weird boys and men out there.

I remember being raised by my mother, alone. She spent twenty years trying to convince me my father was evil, and when I spent just a week with him after all this time I realized that she simply hated him. Hated me because I reminded her of him, I'm very alike to him, and he's a genuine, and great man. It is only with time away from her I realize just how terrible and chronic the sustained cruelty she showed me was. I thought she was just doing her best until I escaped. But it turns out blackmailing your son and screaming at him constantly because he doesn't care about life isn't a good solution. She wondered why I stayed in, played video games all day, didn't shower (Basically lived like asmon without the money tbh). I was a wreck in my high school days because of one simple factor: There was no winning. If I did well I was punished harshly. Beaten, yelled at, kicked out a few times because I didn't do good enough. If I did bad, things would be broken, I'd have the things I valued in the house taken away and she wondered why I stopped caring. I remember the time she grounded me until my grades improved (Sitting at about 80% at the time, easy pass), so I tanked them. I refused to do anything at school, I over a period of 3 months went from 80 to 30 on bad behavior, lack of attendance and absolute refusal to work. Just to make a point I almost gave up my future because I didn't think I had a future. I was so fucked up at that time, I had not only considered suicide, but I thought I'd be dead by the age of 25. Now I'm 27, living with my father as he ages, ready and happy to take care of him when he can no longer work. Six years in, I love my father, I love myself and I have not spoken to my mother again. I've only seen from afar as she is alienated by the entire family, her own mother is dead and she had no one to lean on or turn to in this time. She has not been called by me, visited, nothing. I have no intentions on ever speaking to that abusive woman ever again, and I will watch in a schadenfreudic satisfaction as her life unravels, and it is no fault of anyone but her own. Six years of radio silence from both of her children has not taught her a thing or made her think she's the problem. She thinks instead my father brainwashed me, when in reality I just had space to reflect when I wasn't being constantly threatened or beaten by her. I remember the nightmares of waking up one day back in that house, this last six years being a cruel dream. But I've stopped having those nightmares. I only have good dreams now. Fellas. There IS light on the other side. If you can possibly escape the abuse you suffer, you will be better for it. Remember that you have a future. You have a tomorrow. Pick yourself back up, dust yourself off and remember...you don't have to be successful today or tomorrow. You can live day by day, but the tomorrows keep coming. You'll be fine one day, so fight for the day you can smile, and know that not everyone in your family will hurt you.

the boys crisis. women most affected.

Those first applauses were so inappropriate and definitely highlighted one of the issues society is facing. He talks for several minutes about really heavy stuff regarding boys and young men in complete silence and then he mentions single motherhood once and the crowd erupts in applause... like wtf.

the audience seemed like they didnt like that, except from the part about single mothers working hard.

The fact that they clapped for single mom's leads me to believe almost the entire audience missed the whole fucking point of the talk. Welcome to the modern generation. Audience was probably 2/3 modern feminists and divorced women.

14,000 hours of gaming before they are 21 Asmongold “that’s not that much” 😂😂😂 Did some math: it’s about 6.5 hours a day everyday from 14 - 21. Mind you, according to him this an average

Society: Talk about the crisis in boys. The first applause is for single moms.

So many things in this video prove the point. When one chatter said that men are the enemy to alot of activist movements, everyone called him an incel (proving the point). Single moms got the most applause in this video about fatherless households being the problem. Men's issues are so incredibly stigmatised that you're either called an incel or pussy for bringing it up (and not just by women, but other men too). But I personally have hope that those fatherless men that make it through to the other side will be great Dads. I personally feel a yearning to provide my future children with the experience that I personally missed out on. I just hope we can break the cycle eventually.

The dating scene atm (especially on apps) is literally like how wotlk gs requirements were and destroyed social dynamics. "Link achiev or gearscore" to get your foot in the door for raids is the same as women asking what your income is and how tall you are. If you don't meet their bare minimum, most of the time you just get ignored. Even though hypothetically you could of had great chemistry together. Sad times we're in.

"Children of single mothers can turn out fine." Continues to list out awful people.

I had a great father, but I still struggled a lot in my life with a lot of the problems outlined here. But I would never have solved my problems without my dad, and I have nothing but respect and admiration for him for putting up with me and raising me right. He wasn't perfect, but nothing in life is. I only hope I can be as good of a father in my own way as he was for me.

Go 6 figures into debt. Or 14,000 hours of gaming. Hmmm... hard choice!

His suggestion toward the end will never work. There was a (old time) feminist scholar which posited that if women take more traditionally masculine roles(i.e. primary earner, career focused, etc.), then they have to learn to be attracted to men in more traditionally feminine roles (i.e. staying home with children, or doing homemaking stuff). But in reality, women don't seem to respond to that well, and hypergamy results in them abandoning what they view as a 'worthless', 'unmotivated', or 'under ambitious' partner for someone more their peer in success, or better.

It's weird to be a guy nowadays. You kinda feel silently oppressed just by existing. It's like you feel that girls just think you're worth less. It's also kinda scary to just be a guy, like if I'm alone with a kid at a bus stop I get nervous as fuck that people will think I'm a pedo. If I walk behind a girl on the sidewalk, I'd rather stop and wait to not have them assume I'm a creep. It's so fucking weird... Life has been cold and lonely last few years. I don't want to be ashamed of my gender but I am.

As a 42 year old that has seen more opportunities and more attention in the last 5 years than ever in my life. I can confirm, we are a late game build.

I remembered a lady friend wishing she was born as a man bc she didn't want to deal with her problems. I told her she would just be changing one set of problems for another, and she wanted to argue about it. Everyone has issues, it doesn't matter what gender or whatever someone is, and arguing about who has it worse does nothing to solve anyones problems. I wish ppl would realize that and just help each other instead of jocky for position and degrade others for being born something they had no control over.

Can never talk about mens/boys problems without mentioning how it affects women. Its all about the woman in the end…

The part about the lack of communication and not having to deal with parents over the phone was powerful stuff.

As someone who has attempted suicide a lot, there is a fundamental misunderstanding in regard to mental health. For myself and my friends who have moved on, the #1 problem is ENTIRELY economical. There is no decent job for someone fresh out of high school, and the role models we have all tell us how easy it is, because they bought a house at 19 years old. It doesn’t matter what choices or mistakes we make, as long as we have the resources to learn from them. There are NO adequate resources for single parents, or college students trying to pay for their own tuition.

Men have pretty much checked out of dating atm...

My mother ran out on me and my brother when I was 12 too hear the crowd clap was insane! And it truly pisses me off they think woman aren’t capable of leaving and breaking families just like a man can

I've felt a lot of social issues from the second I stepped out of school. Being semi-grown up at the time, I was turning insane from living at home, so I was desperately looking for an appartment. Where I'm from there's this 'queue' system where one day in queue equals one point. Required points for the shittiest overpriced miniature appartment? 1800. Just about 5 years just to bid on one. So, turning partially insane and doing my absolute utmost not to treat my parents badly (when I'm the actual garbage in question), I kept working and checking every apartment site in the city daily. Result? It didn't take 5 years. When 5 years was over and I managed to get the top bid on a terrible 25 square single room apartment, my priority was lowered by a war immigrant. So, I didn't get that apartment, it's fine, that person has nowhere to stay whatsoever so it's fine. 5½ years had gone by, I won another bid - this time for an actually great apartment of 60 squares. I lost the bid again, this time because a woman in a feminist group had left her boyfriend. Was the guy terrible? Nope, it was a positive separation. How did they kick me out of queue? Party member in the feminist party, of course she has dibs and queue skipping rights from being in cahoots with the city planner. 6 years had now gone by from quitting school, and I was gnashing my teeth, picked up smoking, and taking late night walks to not become violent. I hit another apartment bid, 70 prime top quality square meters in the city centre. Rent was horrendous, over half of my monthly sallary just for a roof but anything goes just to get the peace of my own temple. I got kicked out of queue again. A family of four queue skipped because "You're just a single person, we prioritize families here", leaving me out of it again. 7 years. Still nothing. 8 years, 9 years. 10 Fucking years was what it took for me to have my current home - it's a good place of 69 square meters, close to work, close to the shops. By year 8 I was on the edge to commit something violent, or just straight up end myself as I felt like a sardine in a can. Where's the housing problem coming from? Oh, I didn't mention - I'm from Sweden. The so-called "humanitarian super power" that picks up every slightly wronged person in the world, while resolutely treating its own citizens as 3rd rate people. Been looking for a green card for a couple of years now to escape this nightmare country, but I guess I won't have a chance to get out before ww3.

Rich Parents = Level Boost

Yet, all you hear about is how "Oppressed" women are.

It feels odd to hear the word “boys” for once. I’m so used to the words “men” or “guy” and I’m a guy. After watching this I think that it was a good presentation. I am someone where my parents had not divorced but my dad was so busy working when I was growing up. He worked 16 hrs a day and I didn’t even know who my dad was until I was 10-11 yrs old…

with all the stats saying: "gay marriage has way less divorce rate compared lesbian marriage." and "single dad has better behaved children compared to single mom." my conclusion can be misogynistic.

One o7 for all fellas keeping the average gaming time up.

The thing is man "scale", we study hard, we go gym, we try to socialize( although maybe we arent that good in socializing)... we basically do everything thats in our power to have that "BIS late game build" so we have some chance of getting cute and smart girl. On the other side girls can do all this but dont have to. So i think its the pressure that is put on man to do all those things and thats killing us slowly.

One of the saddest things of the younger generations now is how uncomfortable/anxious they are to talk to someone on the phone. I've had multiple people tell me they only use their phone to text.

Did they just clapped to the deaths of men.

To bounce off Asmon's argument about men not knowing how to act, i believe there is a lack of compassion for boys growing up when making mistakes in social interactions. Being awkward and clumsy is part of learning, but men are not afford the benefit of the doubt and there are real and sometimes irrational consequences to thoses mistakes. Especially towards the opposite gender, so better be taking no chances and shutting down than being labeld a creep, or anything really.

You know, whenever i see sth like this i remember my great gradpa CRIED(the only time i seen him do it) out of joy that my younger siblings were girls. I was hurt as a kid but when i got older(like 10) i asked him about it and he told me he was ecstatic that they were girls beacuse girls dont get drafted and wouldnt have to suffer trough what he has survived, i learned that he had 6 brothers and only he and one brother survived the war and his brother killed himself by peeling his own skin with a knife(apparently he was tortured by having some sort of insects put under the skin by the germans). the stories hes told me defenitely discouraged me from joining military.

14k hours of gaming by 21 is rookie numbers lol

“As a girl” - Asmongold 2023

im 27, i stopped having friends at 19. I had a girlfriend between 21 and 24, the last year that i got a hug. I have a full time job earning a good amount of money, i go to the gym, play the guitar but i can't just make friends. I just can't. I can self teach my self all these stuff and become professional at except for making friends. The only one friend i made was trough facebook the last month, a girl from a distant city and she thinks i don't have any social skill issue because i listen, i communicate and i don't get mad for stupid reasons so much so she is surprised how ""well behave"" i am, socially speaking. But even this saturday like i did for the most part of my 20s, im eating alone in a fast food parking lot thinking that if i dont have any friend irl when i will be 30 i will just off my self.

I was 8 when my parents divorced, my mother cheated on him. Overheard that from them fighting that morning, made the decision to go with my father because I was scared he might feel alone. Took three years of litigation for my father to win so I stayed with him. And he only won because I was about to get 12 so I was in the right to decide. Ofc I grew up deprived of a mother so I don't struggle with productiveness but with emotions.

i tell this to my friend who said that women's rights and lgbt rights were "more important". i responded with a simple "there is the problem, you ignore one and when you decide to ignore it it get progressively worse, so dont ask why that guy went into a school with a weapon, dont ask why that guy jumped a bridge, when you never really bothered to listen in the first place" @jessbellis9510 has a point, the silent majority is offing themselves and the problematic minority takes it out on others. i would like to add that to your statement that it doesn't do anything but hurt others, especially to those closest. but theyre both problems that remain ignored to this day. what i have said still stands as it is crucial to understand how this is to be solved and possibly eradicated to the betterment of OUR future

It's just sad that it has become a taboo to say that child should have two parents (mom and dad). And I don't say single parents can't be good parents. I was pretty much raised by my mom and I'm very thankful for that. But it doesn't exclude the fact that I probably would be more intact human being if I've had a dad there all the time.

I can relate to this somewhat. My mother was spiteful, lazy, crazy and rarely sober. My father worked 5-6 days a week, 10-12 hours a day. He never had the time to be with my sister and I. He funded the family and I got to do things like play soccer and baseball but he was never there, he couldn't be. He had to work to fund my baseball or my sister's gymnastics. I think in the 5 years I played baseball he got to go to around 7-8 games. He was working or sleeping when he got home because he was so exhausted. I would go to work with him sometimes just so I could see him a bit more. Only once my mother cheated on my dad with a.. very specific person just to cut him deeper. Not some "boyfriend" she had but a very specific person. With the courts the way they are she won almost everything she wanted when they got a divorce and everything he had built was gone. Then the whole back and forth between the parents hating each other.. That gets old fast and doesn't help when you're young. Only once the child support he had to pay went away and I could move in with him at 18 did I get to see him a decent amount. Now I've learned about all the cool stuff my dad when he was younger.. I wish I knew those when I was younger, they definitely would have guided me through my younger years better. I'm 38 and I still hate my mom for all of that. I had to ghost her for 2 years after an argument and when she came back into the picture (not by my decision) she acted like nothing happened. She just went on being her narcissistic self. So I guess I've kind of been parentless, at least mentally, for around 30ish years. My dad made enough money to make things comfortable for us monetarily. Meh, I'll just put one foot in-front of the other and keep moving. Adopting viewpoints combining people like George Carlin, Bill Burr and Optimistic Nihilism has put me mostly at peace. Nothing matters, just sit back, enjoy the show and laugh. If the world starts burning I'll grab the hotdogs.

Notice how the speaker has to modify his language to be deemed appropriate. Can't be discussing mens issues without paving the ground and painting the walls without more than a cursory mention of womens issues. Degrading.

don't forget that when 2 guys get along really well, it starts getting called a Bromance which just makes things weird

If education is an answer then having all scholarships be exclusively for women needs to end.

The audience in video itself shows the problem of society and that we need to care about mens problems more. He talks about mens issues and how much increase in "self delete" it is even for young boys, and much other problems. But when he mention that single mums work hard, everyone is clapping... it was just so unsettling to me.

My sister and I both have Masters Degrees and both married men without even a bachelor's degree, and they still made more money than we did. It's the types of careers we chose, and I ended up being a stay at home mom after my husband and I both got out of the USArmy. Having three boys, I have encouraged them to begin with a community college to minimize their initial educational debt and to look for careers that are needed and will always be needed. My Masters in School Counseling was difficult to obtain jobs in because there were fewer jobs available than people who were licensed. I don't want them to make that same mistake. I am quite concerned for my young men's futures.

My dad was a self sacrificing provider who I loved but he ended up killing himself but even before that I knew there was something wrong with what he was doing, he made himself a background character even in his own life.

I lived primarily with my father and I feel like the main reason I grew up following his lead more was mainly due to the fact that his boundaries indicated he trusted me more then the ones my mother imposed. She just seemed like she was trying to control me and dad seemed more like he was teaching me. (I love my mother and I appreciate the time I spent and spend with her I just feel like between the two my father had the better method over all)

As someone raised by a single father, I felt nothing but disdain for that "few people work harder than single moms" comment/applause. I find it so indicative of the problem with society that people are so socialised into the "single moms good, men bad" that just saying "single moms work hard" automatically earns applause. No shit single mom's work hard. So do all other single parents. Why is it always "single moms"?

The irony of the message that "power has to be redefined as more human being and less human doing" is that that, as Dr. Farrell pointed out earlier, and even Asmongold pointed out, men's value is defined as overwhelming based on their socially recognized successes (or lack thereof). To even qualify as an individual worthy of consideration to begin with, one needs to pass the threshold of "success", and that success is defined not by the individual, but by the society that individual inhabits. Success, be it in the form of wealth, fame, or force of personality, is what qualifies a man as a human "being" at all. It's not really a matter of fault, but the reality we exist in needs to be acknowledged, and the limits of self-definition is a part of that state of affairs. Women, as part of society, hold a part in the definition of what men should value. Arguably, they have even more of a part, because it is women who define "success" in men, who establish that threshold. But this is all pointless navel gazing in a youtube comments section anyway.

All of these movies and shows featuring "girl bosses" just surround these one dimensional "strong women" by incompetent men. Of course they look better by comparison. Why is it they can't find a way of uplifting women without putting men down? It's getting really old. I could care less about men being portrayed as buffoons in certain forms of media but when it starts bleeding over into how men are actually treated in society it's becoming a problem.

The issue with missing social interactions is exactly the reason why I only live in shared houses. I enjoy being alone sometimes, but because of this I tend to become a shut-in if I live alone.

1/3 of 14k hours to get a bachelors, yeah that's great but how much fucking money does it cost?

It feels like people always blame dads when something bad happens, they've even developed a term for it: "Fatherless Behavior". Sometimes I can't help but wonder what Herculean leeps men have to do to be considered "good" fathers. Fathers need to be able to provide for their family right? That's what's expected of them. However in order to properly provide for their family they have to work hard which takes time which means that they have less time and energy to spend with their family. If you work too much you're considered a bad dad (and husband), if you don't work enough to provide for your family you're considered a bad dad (and husband). I guess what I'm trying to say is... What are the REAL standards? People make it out to be like not having a dad is the cause of all problems but then if even if there IS a dad in the picture then the goal post changes from not having a dad to: needing a *particular* type of dad to be successful in life.

For a guy that lives in his moms basement/attic and played video games his whole life, As has remarkable understanding of human behavior.

I've really suffered with this a lot lately. I'm 26 and i can't seem to find any value in myself. When i was 23 i had upward momentum but then both me and my dad got sick, he died and i lost most of my physical earnings and was too far out to finish college . Ever since then i just feel like a failure or unable to do anything worth anything. I can make okay money doing various jobs but it doesn't feel like enough. I can't find self pride anymore.

My wife gets really nervous when i start rough housing with my 2yo daughter, especially when my (almost) 5yo son joins in. Explained how it builds bonds and teaches both, but esp my son self restraint especially with girls. Teaches coordination and working with another person physically the same way dancing does. Nor she triesc to make a point to rough house with us so it's a whole family fun time and it has really helped her anxiety and made her feel like a better mom.

As a male, I’d rather stay in and play video games all day away from society because I can just enjoy doing something without being blamed for others problems. I just want nothing to do with the gender blame game. I now don’t enjoy engaging in flirting or flattering women. I’d rather stay single the rest of my life then to cater to a gender that treats me as the cause of their problems which sucks because I always wanted a family. Whatever tho I got WoW SoD to be my new gf lol.

There is a MASSIVE difference between being aggressive and assertive. They come from very different places. You can see it in debates. An aggressive debater will push to hide vulnerability of areas they lack knowledge, so they hide it with speed and getting to a win as fast as possible. An assertive person can win the argument while still being calm and patient. You can attack their points all you want but they are CONFIDENT to the point of not needing to be emotional and can assert their position AND convince you they are right all day, every day. Those are what make excellent leaders Assertive confident empathic men. Not raging assholes

As a single dad in Florida, I finalized my divorce in July ‘23 and I’m glad Florida changed the rule to make long story short. Florida prioritizes 50/50 over anything

I do think Asmon is right (at around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="267">4:27</a>) that women do have that value of being able to carry children, and that's more valuable in a sense than just providing the "seed" so to speak because a woman can only carry one or two children at a time, and any more than that at a time is substantially more dangerous and rare, where guys can theoretically impregnate so many women quickly. If you want around 10 babies to be born quickly, you only need one man for that and 10 women, making the women more "valuable" towards that goal. It sucks. Tech will balance this out really soon, but in the meanwhile this sucks for men. However, being a woman who is unwell, I still reap these benefits. This is an innate, biological bias that people hold towards women, which means that women don't even need to be able to reproduce for most people to still want to protect us. It's incredibly unfair. It's not something that can just be fixed, because it's so biologically ingrained in people, so all I'd ask is that people become more aware of this bias and try to extend understanding and empathy towards your fellow man, even if it doesn't come as naturally. Men deserve to be valued as much as women do. We are all people, and we all deserve love and education and a better life.

Animals have better bonding rituals than humans😅

I'm depressed as shit and lonely as shit, I just want someone to hug

I think it tells you the state of society when a man tries to talk about the issues boys and and men face and the first applause he receives is after he makes a statement about how hard it is to be a single mom.

when he was talking about people online telling you how to live right and are more F'ed up irl then the people they are trying to 'help' Ruby Franke came to mind lol

I garentee that some of the women in the crowd were probably smiling to themselves silently hearing this.

I dont want to live to an age when I cant take care of myself because I know no one else will.

I love that Asmon just explains every topic through gaming

I love how humans cracked the code of successful family dynamics millenia ago, but for the last 60 years we think we know better despite the glaringly obvious problems our hubris is causing. How long must this charade go on?

Fear not, this conversation will be hijacked by women to be about them in no time.

He couldn't have did this talk 10 years ago without getting booed, heckled, threatened and/or the fire alarm pulled 10 times. Incredible. Also, go see how a popular channel called "Knowing Better" deliberately took Warren Farrel out of context. Bane666au covered it years ago, assuming he still has a channel.

I've seen a lot of people ask "Why doesnt anyone talk about toxic femininity?" and the reason is very simple. Its what I have called "The oppressive rubber band" Women have been oppressed in America for a long time, because of that, they've acquired a social oppressive rubber band which allows them to be as toxic, problematic, and uncaring as they want to be. Men, for centuries have been able to do this for centuries that when women did it, it wasn't taken seriously so the band stretched and stretched as one side was able to do almost whatever they wanted while the other was either being shut down or ignored. Now that men and women are equal, the toxicity is able to be more in the spotlight, and people can actually have convos about it, but that rubber band is going to take a long long time to unstretch safely. Think of it like this, everyone knows there's an orange Taki chip with a different flavor than Fuego Takis. Fuego (the purple bag) is the most popular flavor and if you were to ask someone about Takis they'd instantly think of Fuego. Now, a random person asks you "Why doesnt anyone ever talk about the orange one?" Because, it's not nearly as popular. Women can get away with more society-wise because of how they weren't able to do anything for years. That's the rubber band. Is it fair? Definitely not. But we have to stop acting as if the past didn't happen or else that band is going to keep stretching.

No fault divorce was pure evil.

I think the staggering amount of pain and isolation men can go through is so staggering its straight up incomprehensible to people. I dont think theres stigma, its simply a gap in understanding to the point they dont even see the frame of the issue. It almost gets spiritual for why you would even need to care about other men. Because a man wont give you the same validation as a child, woman or even pet, theres almost like this metaphysical respect that transcends pleasure or love chemicals when you know you did right by another man. So i think theres like a level of intellect even required to even think why ethically i should care about how a man feels or what he thinks. An illustration: a child raised by a father is going to be more emotionally intelligent, because they will learn to be emotionally sensitive. This is because men are good at hiding their queues, so you literally need a more sensitive read on their emotions, even to the point where you learn to reason why they are hiding them.

Clicked this expecting to get a "The Boys" amazon show video lmao but glad it wasn't

I grew up without knowing my dad but my only mission before I leave this earth is to have and raise a family and when it’s my time to go i hope I leave them with everything they need. Don’t give up kings 👑

Kids of single dads do better than kids of singles moms but still nowhere near 2 parent home

The comparison of males being valuable in the “late game” and females being valued in the “early game” is quite accurate when we’re looking at it from a game perspective. It’s unfortunate, because some people never asked to be born in this kind of “game” to begin with. We never asked to be born with “that type of build” in this world to begin with. Unaliving oneself could be seen as justified in such a case, if you were born as someone you never asked, or born in a world you never asked for, or even both. That is not to say I ENCOURAGE the act. I just mean to say that I empathize with them. Some people were just born in a world that they cannot conform to. Simply because of the way they were born, or because the entire world itself refuses to conform to yourself. It truly is tragic.

As a single father, I would say that it is harder on an emotional level than being a single mother. There is tons of support and various social systems set up to help single mothers that DO NOT EXIST for single fathers. Beyond even that, most of the times single fathers are unable to find emotional support even within their own social circles, everyone defaults to solve the problem with minimal effort. It fucking sucks
