    That’s true, and there are more of them available today, including the national suicide hotline 988, an easy number to remember. What men need is to see that mental health is as or even more important than physical health, and that going to a “mental gym” is a cool manly thing to do (and it is). By mental gym I mean getting counseling or whatever help you need to become a better and more integrated person.

      Not just that, but that goes for everyone.

      Men need men only spaces. Women have women’s shelters in every city in every western country.
      For men, you’re lucky if your country has a shelter. You’re lucky if the law even recognizes you being abused as a crime.

      “mental gym?” Goddamn dude we’re talking about men, not children. You don’t need to play word games with adults
