You're right. This is an attack on men....by other men.

Another quote that you have says:

"The strong silent type runs deep with us. We don't bare ourselves, at least not to each other. We're not supposed to feel, we're supposed to be a man and keep it moving forward.

Where does this nonsense come from? Who says that "we're not supposed to feel"? Why can't we show emotion and cry? Why is it that we feel we have to be the "strong silent type"?

It's strange how we men will agree that we shouldn't show emotions and at the same time agree that it's upsetting that we can't.

It's nonsense like this that's killing us men. The fact that we reinforce this nonsense that we can't cry and show emotion because "that's not what a man does" is literally killing us because we're suffering in silence.

And no, women are not responsible for our emotional baggage. If we can't be there for the men we call brothers then that's our fault, not theirs. If we feel that we can't bare our souls with each other, then we should really look for better friends and be better men.
