    To my fellow men: ignore the gaslighters in here. NAMI endorses this month, and they are a highly regarded non-profit for mental health advocacy and support. I don’t think OP posted it here ironically b/c they actually posted the NAMI link outlining their support of men’s mental health.

    Hope you all the best and take care of yourselves. Also, if you feel alone, NAMI has a search engine to help find support groups, meetup has a lot (just gotta expand your city search for remote meetups), always explore your insurance’s therapy coverage if you have insurance, and if all that fails, chatgpt provides some decent feedback and perspective without marginalizing your experiences like an asshole would.









  • I disagree. One of the largest groups to swing right were young men, and if you listened to many of their criticisms, they thought Tim was pandering to them which made them think he was disingenuous. If he tries to flip it in the next campaign, he’ll seem even less authentic. If he doesn’t, we’re at status quo. I don’t see that being different for any dem candidate, regardless of gender, without a change in approach.

    I’m not saying their criticisms are right or wrong, but they are voters. Whether we like it or not, we need to listen to them b/c of that fact.

    Even if the candidate was a woman, a genuine attempt to engage with them and find common ground would likely have a better chance at swinging enough of them than if we stick to Tim. However, knowing how people respond to being slighted and pandered to, I’m unsure there’s much of a chance to reach them anymore. But it would still be a better chance if we engaged with them rather than ignoring them.
