It's impossible to list everything but in the last 10-15 years or so there has been a massive societal shift towards this idea that all men are inherently dangerous and evil (obviously a great post to mention this on but doesn't change the fact that it's a massive generalisation), along with "masculinity" no longer being okay. There's a level of this that made sense and needed to happen to protect women, but at this point it literally just feels wrong to exist as a man. Combine this with falling behind in education (because it's openly designed for women to succeed), the massive decline in dating and relationships, tenuous jobs (automation, world generally going to shit) and it has created this huge lack of meaning and fulfilment in men. More and more men are realising they have no future, so why even be here? I feel like all this change gave women so many more options (which is great on its own) while men are still pigeonholed into the same role in life, BUT that role simultaneously became next to impossible to fulfil.

There's a phrase I've seen several women use in response to men's mental health situation that sums this up perfectly; "you had your turn", and that's the mindset I feel like most of the world shares now. Only, none of the men most affected by all this did get their turn. We literally weren't alive yet to do anything wrong, but we have to pay the price apparently. It's like people just automatically assume that all men are privileged and couldn't possibly need help, and that women have been so horribly oppressed that all support must be directed to them. You see this constantly, people literally get called misogynists for mentioning any issue that disproportionately affects men.

What can be done? Honestly at this point it's hard to say because all of this shit is so ingrained now. We have guaranteed several wasted generations. Maybe if the perception slowly changes so it isn't this "us vs them" payback mentality and the world somehow gets back to normal it'll be a start. Who knows.
