>>81656014 (OP)It's because of their obsession with hierarchy. Men really do force each other into endless misery, and it's nobody's fault but their own. They build these suffocating little hierarchies where any hint of vulnerability is mocked, any softness is treated like weakness, and showing normal human emotion is branded as pathetic. They sabotage each other with toxic expectations, then act shocked when the only thing left for them is resentment and emptiness.
Who told men they can't cry, or talk about their problems, or be gentle? Other men did. Who made "man up" the only acceptable response to suffering? Other men. Who made status games, bragging, and constant competition the pillars of their entire identity? Other men. They are their own jailers, wallowing in this miserable culture of repression they created, all while blaming women for somehow failing to rescue them from it.
They even pressure each other into staying in soul-crushing jobs, bad relationships, or lonely ruts just so they won't look "weak" in front of the boys. The entire brotherhood is built on forcing each other down, then laughing about it, only to repeat the cycle again and again.
And then, when the consequences of their rigid, backwards worldview come crashing down, they cry about how nobody cares about men's mental health, as if they haven't been the ones ridiculing and stomping out empathy from the start.
Women didn't do this to them. Women didn't force them to build their identity around misery, fear, and constant aggression. Men did it to themselves, generation after generation, and still refuse to fix it because they'd rather keep acting like petty overlords of their tiny social empires than dare to be free.
So yes, men force each other to be miserable, they invented it, perfected it, and proudly uphold it, then expect pity for living in the world they built.
