  Hard agree. It’s not just that wealth inequality breeds these issues; they’re being synthetically exacerbated by social media algorithms.

  I feel like a lot of the online discourse, and a few isolated in-person interactions, wants to frame this sort of stuff as evidenciary of how miserable and oppressive it is to be men in the modern world.

  I don’t believe it; frankly, I think it’s a ploy to instill division by exploiting young men’s lack of emotional intelligence (not necessarily their fault) but even if it were true, I don’t buy the response being that society has it out to get men and we need to accommodate people who refuse to learn how deal with their own emotions.

  A lot of it feels like young men projecting a deep sense of inadequacy and fear about the future.

  Oh, right; like empathy. /s

  So close to being gay (and happy) yet too scared to admit to themselves.

  Lol yeah I read that whole thing and had to a double take because it reminded of Elon asking why everyone hates him.

  Well, no point in arguing with someone like you. Regardless, as a practicing immunologist I don’t feel the least bit diminished by having the social utility of my work compared to other people; ESPECIALLY if it’s on the arbitrary basis of the amount of time, money, or education it took someone to become “valuable to society.” As for any of my colleagues who do feel that way: grow up; healthcare is a service, and we are service workers.

  I agree to disagree. Doctos may have a more immediate bad tangible benefit on people’s health and well-being, but providing safe and reliable public transportation to untold amounts of working class people who may rely on you to provide for their families is also a massive positive effect that should not be diminished simply for being less culturally prominent.
