A growing network of online communities known collectively as the “manosphere” is emerging as a serious threat to gender equality, as toxic digital spaces increasingly influence real-world attitudes, behaviours, and policies, the UN agency dedicated to ending gender discrimination has warned.

    Or you start being a ‘man’ or rather human, and create the life that you want.

    If you see yourself as human resource, you are not worth more than that commodity and that value is all you have. Instead, meet other people and start creating.

      I’m sick and tired of hitting a wall. I can’t live with a hostile family constantly sabotaging my efforts. I’m supposed to at least have some respite at home, people aren’t supposed to laugh at you when you try to improve yourself. I have no other recourse, I will just finally blow my fucking head off next pay. Then maybe they will finally ask if they did something wrong.

        Listen to me: try putting maximum effort into improving yourself.

        “I will just finally blow my head off next pay. Then maybe they will finally ask if they did something wrong.”

        What makes you think that people who have not acknowledged your efforts until now will suddenly gain enough self-awareness to realize that they are the problem after you take your own life?

        Join an offline community, engage in fieldwork, sports, or anything where you don’t have to be the best—just be there. Just know that I am rooting for you.

        Get some counceling first. Seems like you could use some help communicating your needs.
