Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Ouch, maybe men should be open about their feelings & not give a damn about the shaming language
Ouch, it is said than done. In order to be open about your feelings you need someone to be able to listen to you without judgment. Society expects men to be tough and while talking about your feelings you become vulnerable, because you give out some fears and insecurities that can be used against you.
Good, if the person you're talking to is your understanding family member. Bad, if it's some shady friend.
I don't think anyone here disagrees, but it's a lot harder to buck off those societal expectations than you may believe.
How about male solidarity
Male solidarity is actually increasing, you just assume it doesnt bc you dont see it. The problem is that every group actually shames men for being human. Especially if those groups dont like them for whatever flimsy reason. And if men try to demonstrate solidarity when standing up for one another, others try to gaslight them or straight up try to turn the herd against them by ridiculing them.
Stop that instead of blaming the lack of male solidarity. It exists. The problem is that ppl dont want to see it so they can continue to blame lack of “male solidarity” and try to tear it down when they do see it.
But there IS a lack of male solidarity, in the firm of male-on-male hostility
Mostly what you see on social media. There are more groups supporting men run by men, sizable shifts in their voting coordination, more legal representation coming forward to litigate when men are discriminated against, etc.
What you see isn’t the whole picture bc ppl dont care to see the whole picture.
Who said I was talking about Social media ?
Doesnt matter your source anyways. It doesnt change the fact that solidarity is improving amongst men. And voting track record is a far better indicator than what you’ve noticed around you.
