This YouTuber has created 4 astoundingly insightful videos about men. Patriarchal society fucks us up, either turning us into monsters or demanding a facade that runs so deep most of us forget it’s a facade. Even just articulating our feelings and mental health is a massive struggle.

Worth a watch by men and anyone who cares about men. And if you don’t care about men… well, that’s pretty typical of society at large, so don’t feel too guilty, but maybe you should start caring.

In the same vein, I’d like to remind people that feminism is also for men.
As a start, I think bell hooks’ The Will to Change can be a good intro.

No it ain’t, feminism is for women only

I’d recommend the video I posted. He gives some branches of feminism the drubbing they deserve, but also identifies some examples of intersectional feminism that do include men as victims of patriarchy, deserving of help from feminists.

Maybe in some circles but I’ve always felt welcomed and supported by the women around me. I’m sorry that you can’t say the same.
I want you to know that your feelings are valid but please don’t let the actions of a few reactionaries spoil the entire ideal that feminism stands on.

I’m speaking on a holistic & practical level. Oh & the reason you’re welcomed is because you’re a useful tool, the instant you criticize them, you’ll be a misogynist & will be rail-roaded
I can give practical examples as well.

Bell Hooks gets quoted in the video FWIW
