    A video essay by Philosophy Tube on trauma, how it's experienced by men, and why men's trauma is invisible to the society (hint: think patriarchy), all explained around personal experiences of the author and intermixed with relevant philosophy. I just finished watching this, and am glad that I did. Hope you'll give it a watch too, and maybe even decide that it's about time men began to work towards breaking out of the mold the society and tradition wants to force them into and conquer back their humanity instead.

    I sympathise strongly with normal men who have to endure insane conditions in the US's current social climate nowadays. If it helps: many females in the upcoming generation elsewhere in civilisation despise those who make a travesty of nature and the natural order and then try to force their abominal mores on others.

    I could be much more specific, prefer not to for privacy reasons, but just one thing: the collective amount of aggravation experienced so far by me and my peers did not result from the behaviour of normal, i.e. average men ages 30 and over. Not counting boys or young men for obvious reasons.

    To cheer you fellows up:
    I said similar once somewhere else, and received furious reactions by private message; doubting me, and worse. I recorded an entire dorm reacting to their words in real time and asked the senders whether they would like to see what 19 normal, fairly well-educated teenieboppers thought of their ideas; all but one declined, and s/he never wrote again.
