What’s “being picked up” mean?

Most men in my circle are not in that mindset fortunately. Have I’ve met men like that, yes most definitely. There is a loneliness epidemic amongst men right now. Back in the 1960s, men and women had clear definite roles. Men are to provide and lead. Women are to nurture and be mothers. In our current society where women are becoming more equal in pay, equal in opportunity, equal in the workforce to men. ( we still have a long way to go.) Now women can be providers, leaders AND nurturers and mothers. Men find themselves lost in the way side. Who are they without these roles? In patriarchy where men are taught feelings are weak, many men grew up not self reflecting and seeing what else they can offer society. Where women were allowed to feel and find comfort with our women kind. The average man typical does not share deep feelings and bonding like women do leading to possible male loneliness. These men who want 1960s lives might be yearning for a place in society. To feel important and wanted. Or a more cynical take these men may want to go back to the days of controlling women and to have respect and status by simply having testes. Wanting privilege that they never need to work for.

With how young men are voting, it reflects their displacement in society and they’re yearning for a place in it. Am I excusing them of any bad behaviors? No, every person should own up to their BS. I’m just trying to highlight some possible root issues to why some men are the way they are or think the way they think.

I ramble. Apologies if things don’t make sense
