Oh good. Another article about men struggling with X. This certainly means that help is coming, right? Right guys?

The help: “Remember guys, it’s okay to not be plagued by X”

It's ok to be weak without support structures, you'll be fine. It's ok to not have friends, making friends is hard, 15% of the male population having no close friends is something you can work past, you'll be fine. It's ok to have mental health problems, despite there not being any help or support for them, it's ok to let them take over your life from time to time, lonely men's bills pay themselves, right?

But you're men, you're meant to be strong, and stoic, and nothing is meant to phase you emotionally. You're allowed to cry, just don't be pathetic looking when you do it. Cry like a fucking man.

Another article you don’t want to mention to someone else on account of being shamed for acknowledging men have problems at all 😃

It's not phrased as how this is actually a women's issue, so no.
