    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.

        Sure, but the article itself is a generalization to by the nature of averages.

          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.
