Man is condemned to be free

Conflickulation
Joke's on you, my mother was completely unforgiving.
Isn't this about 40 years too late?
Yeah, but propelling them out of the solar system just sounds like the kind of fake-ending that ends up with the super villain coming back stronger in a decade. Have we learnt nothing from science fiction? You have to destroy your foes whilst you can.
Personal censorship has been around for a long time. People have always avoided saying things that others might view as weird or repulsive.
The true change is that everyday conversation is more monitored now than it ever has been before.
We have let insipidly authoritarian technology into our lives in an intimate way.
Can't we just take all of the sociopaths from the banking industry and stick them on the front line?
Gentoo. No. Compiling all of the things was not for me.
I like the suggestion that we concern ourselvrs more with the quality of men's internal lives, but I do worry we're still objectifying men as 'the problem'.

Should there be a UK Minister for Men?
(lemmy.world)
A UK Member of Parliament recently suggested that there should be a Government minister for men which would presumably do similar things to the existsing minister for Women.
This has thrown up a series of heated discussions on social media about whether this is part of the 'backlash' against feminsm, or whether there is a legitimate need for wider support of men's issues.
As a man who believes that there are legitimate issues disproportionately affecting men which should be addressed, what I really want help in understanding is the opinion that men don't need any targetted support.
I don't want to start a big argument, but I do want to understand this perspective, because I have struggled to understand it before and I don't like feeling like I'm missing something.
Why would I want to extend my life?
Oh do fuck off Google.
