I think learning about men’s issues is bad for mental health. If you are a man, it definitely is. Feminists don’t care about men’s issues. If they did, there would be more positive changes occurring for men. It’s a futile exercise to debate feminists. It’s better for them to wake up by themselves.
I identify as anti-feminism, not anti-feminist. Anti-feminist sounds like I am against a group of people. I’m not against any group of people’s rights. Anti-feminism sounds like I am against the ideology, which I am. I guess that’s the proper term.
I have been reading articles from New Male Studies. It is a journal about men’s issues. They are a group of professors and scholars who write about men’s issues. Here is their website: https://www.newmalestudies.com/OJS/index.php/nms.
Abstract:
“Masculine identity has become increasingly problematic due to technological and cultural changes over the past ten thousand years, beginning with the horticultural and agricultural revolutions but gaining momentum with the industrial, military and reproductive revolutions. Egalitarian feminists have unwittingly exacerbated the problem by equating sexual equality with sexual sameness, leaving men unable to make even one contribution to society, as men, which is distinctive, necessary and can therefore be publicly valued–that is, unable to establish a healthy collective identity specifically as men. The result of this emptiness is a growing tendency to give up either by dropping out of school and or by committing suicide. Ideological feminists have thrown down the gauntlet, on the other hand, by ascribing to men a highly negative collective identity. The result of this misandry is an increasing number of men who believe that even a negative collective identity is better than no collective identity‚ at all. No solution will be possible without challenging pervasive assumptions about both boys and men.”

I read this article. It is very disturbing that there is a lot of misandry in our society. It causes men to commit suicide. The New Male Studies journal goes against everything that feminism teaches.
How?
Seriously? By spending your time wisely. Go for a walk in nature. Go to the gym. Go read things that build you up. Remove TikTok and Reddit, and any other social media apps that fill your mind with negativity; or curate your feed so you get positive media instead of negative ones.
