thank you too, for your thoughts and for beeing respectful.

well that is sad to hear

Ok…projecting a lot of stuff here. I was just asking if it is still that bad nowadays and how to respond better out of interest

I would also think that this “men-up”-mentality is a generational thing and eventually (hopefully) dies out soon (in men and women and anything inbetween). In order for that to happen it would probably help not to reproduce and repeat the belief that the mentality persists (for example by sharing memes that suggest otherwise…maybe i can help with that). You know… be the change you wanna see.

I guess there is also a nasty trend of going backwards and anti-DEI all over the world (in my understanding the E in DEI is suppose to also cover that whole male-mental-health inequality aspect) so that doesn’t help.

Regarding the response “go to therapy”: i was told the same thing several times and it sometimes felt like “i don’t want to listen to your problems anymore” or “go fix yourself, you’re not functioning like you’re supposed to” and that does hurt. As i grew older i realized that these responders usually mean well and probably were overwhelmed themselves or were simply unable to help or didn’t feel qualyfied enough to help. So the message they were unable to transport probably was something arround: “i care for your feelings and i am here for you but also i have limits to be respected and i want you to get the best help you need. Sadly i can not provide this, so i would suggest to seek help of a professional. I will help you as best as i can to make this happen”

Another aspect is (I’m not trying to derail now, or use whataoutism this is just sideaspect or orverlapping development) the somewhat common expectation that women are expected to do care work or emotional labour for free, which sometimes gets disappointed. And maybe there is a trend of women being less willing to do so nowadays. I don’t know If that makes sense and one would have to look at actual data on this but i don’t even know which field of study collects data on this topic.

any way it seems to be a somewhat complex topic but i stand with the believe that memes shape perception of the world and one can use that to also shape that stupid society for the better (i know i am heavily overestimating the power of memes but one can hope and dream :))

ok i will rephrase to: is society not offering real solutions nowadays.

I mean, as a woman, i will probably never understand how it feels to never really/freely be able to share emotions and be vulnerable. I thought this whole problem is somehow getting better or is better nowadays and that society is moving forward, though. Also, if “go to therapy” is dismissive, then what is a better response, i wonder.

Is the society not saying: “go to therapy” nowadays?

that would have been my seconds attempt with the template. In the object tossing case several calculations have to be done:

• what way of tossing causes the most damage
• which object is most valuable
• which object causes loudest noise when hitting the floor
• what is the time when the owner just cleaned the floor and already stored the cleaning equipment away and which objekc would cause most dirt or debris after dropping

i don’t mind that it is small. More people could post, that is true. In my case i would post more if i had more time.

you mean the fediverse is too small or too few people are creating content?

why?

Nice, not only do i seem very organized, i also have plants standing on my side keybord.

Im pretty sure if there was an obstacle, they would kivk it out of the way. And they would walk trough spiderwebs first.

Well there are people who write bots and i think it would be possible to do something like that.

thanks for the great work :)

yes!!

yeah, same. I’m happy she exists :)

yes very nice

I didn’t think that was suitable either, since the Fediverse is not dead, thanks to those ~20 people

The browser and meme generator. I forgot the name was something with society because, unlike the 20, i am not a meme Lord

i wanted a bunch of people carrying exactly one item.
