Western society, as it is, is fucked for men. We are told to not be emotional, to not ask for help, to man up etc. etc. If a man, god forbid, does any of these things he gets ridiculed and shown next to no compassion. We get emotionally stunted from an early age and are told no one will help.

So should we be shocked that that averages out to less concern about others well being? It has taken me decades to undo the damage done by a cold harsh civilization. If we want anyone to show compassion they must first be shown compassion.

There's a lot of generalization going on here.

Small wonder he didn't blame women for it. It's men putting other men down, and then some have the gall to say that it's all women's fault

sadly they're all correct.

Lol no. Speaking as a man, western society is MUCH worse for women.

I'll never have to worry about dying of sepsis while a dead fetus rots inside me because politicians want to legislate their brand of morality.

And that's just for starters.

As a man I have to say this has not been my experience growing up at all. I can not relate to anything you just said. Maybe your small circle lacked proper role models?

While it wasn't my experience either, it has been the experience of some men that I talk to, and if you ever look at how conservative men talk, you can see that the "traditional man" concept is still being pushed on them.

If does seem like it's getting better, but as you said, it definitely depends on your social and family circles.

we haven't figured out yet how to turn men into heroes for saving the planet

[-] interolivary@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Can't fuck it, kill it, or eat it, so I guess it's harder to make some men care

that's really disgustingly simplistic, and entirely offensive, and you know that.. it's degrading to ALL men, not just the ones you don't like..

me: some men are shitty

you: HOW ABSOLUTELY DARE YOU THIS IS AN INSULT TO ALL MEN

Environmental activism? People even die for it like proper heroes!

Every year, more than 100 environmental activists are murdered throughout the world.

Although, to be fair, about half of them seem to be women.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
