    Nature is not kind to women, but men aren’t exactly fortunate. Evolution incentivizes a solid percentage of men to die prematurely via testosterone induced aggression in their early adulthood. They generally don’t form the same sort of support systems as women, meaning that they’re often alone in their darkest moments. There are other factors, but those probably play the biggest role in their suffering.

        It’s such a lonely existence. I wish I could offer them advice, but I don’t fully understand what they’re going through. I’ve walked in their shoes for 2 decades, so while I know how they suffer, I don’t actually know what would make them happy. Men like being men and I cannot relate to that.

          I would offer some insight, but I experience a not inconsequential amount of dysphoria myself, so I doubt it would be terribly valuable. I really don’t like being a man. It sucks arse.

            People who don’t want to be men aren’t men, and we cannot solve men’s problems. All we can do is support and let them know if something doesn’t work for us. They need to man up and find solutions themselves.
