    How can a group of people give that to other people, when you don’t mean equal rights?

    Because the point of the post is mental health, not the merits of egalitarianism. I just wanted to point out that, for the gross majority of human history, men’s muscles and reproductive expendability were uniquely valuable traits. With automation and intellectual pursuits, those traits aren’t quite so necessary.

    Or am I misunderstanding?

      No, I’ve just read it a view times now (“society / people need to value men more”) and I don’t understand how that’s supposed to look like in concrete action.

        Agreed; that’s the challenge. I don’t have a full answer, but I do know that it involves having something to work towards, not just something to fight against.
