I wise person once observed to me that "polarization is way to distract people from paying attention to the actual solutions."

We don't really need "us vs. them," we need "all of us, together."

I remind myself of that when I encounter mindnumbing shitshows like Andrew Tate or some uber-woke counterpart of his. They separate, rather than connect.

I generally stay clear of such discussions, though, as they seldom teach anyone how to become content with who they actually are.

But hey, I was born in 1960, so what do I know?

Indeed... perhaps the best thing we can do is stay true to ourselves, rather than having truth dictated to us by "popular" talking heads on social media.

Support groups for men and women are both valuable. Let's talk things through with respect, and not pick sides with anyone. Understanding each other helps everyone grow better and be a better version of themselves. Great one here.

There seem to be a lot of men feeling insecure these days and maybe that is because women are getting opportunities that were mostly denied to them before. I don't expect all the old stereotypes to disappear, but how well you do in life ought to depend on your abilities and not your gender. I speak as the father of a very smart daughter. I have plenty of female friends and am in bands with an equal gender mix. What matters there is how well you play.

Women do tend to be better at talking to each other. Men are often crap at talking about their feelings and problems. We hide behind 'macho' topics like sport. I think it is reasonable to have our own spaces to perhaps open up a bit.

So yo to all the bros out there.

I came from a stable home, so I was lucky. Unfortunately the internet amplifies extreme views, so we need positive messages out there.

I love women as well. The unfortunate reality is men and women are growing further apart. Our future in the United States and Canada is pretty obvious to me. We can see it in Japan and South Korea. Birthrates way below replacement. High suicide rates.
The dynamic is off between men and women and we have been put in competition with them.
Some men have went so far in an attempt to be close to women and defeat them they have pretended to be a woman to play sports against them and be in their locker rooms. That's how far we have fallen.
