Maybe men should start supporting each other. You know, as long as admitting to having feelings isn't too gay or whatever.

That would be convincing if they didn't tear down every men's support systems. A few years back, they tore down the nation's only men's rape clinic, despite the fact that there was strong evidence that a quarter of all rape victims were actually men. Today, there are zero resources for male rape victims because just mentioning it often invites violence.

When you say "they", did you mean that "men"? Like, men tore down the nation's only men's rape clinic?

(genuine question, reading it back I can sound like a dick)

Looks like I was a bit off. Looking it up again, it was a men's shelter for domestic violence. The only one in the entire country was shut down due to a lack of funds over a decade ago. I do remember reading that there was pressure from some feminist groups to shut it down and helped to pull funding, but I can't find articles that mention that, so either I'm remembering wrong, or the article was pulled.
