Why do our society don't value MEN MENTAL HEALTH?

A Man has a lot more responsibilities than women. We are not expressive by nature.

This is what patriarchy has fed you, break away!

Man has to earn, cannot sit at home, cannot cry? Who is making these rules and why are men in 2023 still abiding by it?

Mard ko dard nahi hota.

Male ego fed by years of mainstream media.

I know a lot of friends going through a lot mental health problems but not willing to take therapy or any help.

Let's be honest. This all patriarchy jibe is BS. At the end of the day a girl wants her man to be successful and not a struggler. A weak man has to overcome and become strong. No other choice.

Jo log vulnerable men, patriarchy ki baatein kar rahe hai wo sab hawa hawa me hai....though there is a small segment of actually empowered women...who are "OK" with a struggling man, albeit it is only a temporary phase, NOTHING MORE.

Reasons are manifold. Primary i think is the feedback mechanism. Women don’t like something, they complain and cry, and things get better. They realize their complaining does improve stuff, many times if not all. So they talk about the issues, about what they feel, and somehow get the solutions. Some fluffer somewhere would help them out.

For a man, the feedback loop is different. It’s not just perceptions, not that weak men are unattractive, but men don’t share among other men either. Cos they don’t find solutions this way, things don’t get better when they talk about it. So they don’t.

Regarding therapy , many men have tried it, it doesn’t work for them. Most therapists are well equipped to deal with a woman not man. The conversations need to be different. For women it is usually about what others think of them, for men it’s mostly about helplessness and making rational sense of the world. Hard to have those convos.
