I understand that, but perhaps if it were a major chemical imbalance, talking to someone would mean they can at least try and get help for it? At the very least it's better than doing fuck all.

Toxic masculinity is absolutely a problematic concept because masculinity itself is a somewhat nebulous concept but I firmly believe it exists and there is a precedent for it.

i think where gyro isn't getting it is the fact that while repressed emotions and societal pressures don't LEAD to suicide, they're potentially a big influencer. if you're already struggling within yourself those problems r gonna come back up eventually and be a lot more difficult to deal with when they're piled on top of everything else

Eh, you have your opinion and I have mine. I think toxic masculinity is a construct used by the left to demonize males for any behavior whatsoever that's perceived as disagreeable (I've seen it happen countless times in debates when some sjw idiot gets in over their head). Toxicity isn't exclusive to gender and if you think it is then I think you're part of the problem. I've known some pretty wicked women in my lifetime

When you're talking about society-wide stuff like attitudes towards gender norms and causes of shifts in the suicide rate, ofc there isn't going to be any hard data or numbers to back it up. Stuff like that is just too hard to effectively quantify. Doesn't mean it's not a real thing that influences people. You wanna talk sociology, you'd better get used to anecdotes being the closest thing to evidence there is.

"I disagree with you therefore you're dumb" lol. At least I'm not basing my arguments on fucking anecdotes. Toxicity is a thing. Males are toxic. Females are toxic. SJW are idiots. The sky is blue.

Also that's a gross misrepresentation of sociology. A lot social sciences are guesswork I concede, but most of sociology is just anecdotes is pretty offensive to sociologists. Or at least I imagine it would be

I studied sociology for 3 years, from my own experience a lot of it is incredibly anecdotal.

"I think toxic masculinity is a construct used by the left to demonize males for any behavior whatsoever that's perceived as disagreeable"

I know you all are well intentioned, I don't question your motivations, but if you don't see how the left has already started to strip us of our freedoms (like trans community affecting legislative change for language used) then, well, hopefully you will eventually

That's me questioning the motives of radical leftists who are in a position to affect legislative change. Are you that entrenched in the debate?

I'm not far right or far left. I don't think there's any one political system that's definitively superior to another, there are qualities of the left I like, and many more I dislike

Right, none of us specifically have bad intentions, just "the left". You, know, in general.

And eh, I try to look at things objectively: such as you having no statistical data to support any of your allegations (something the left frequently fails at doing). I can't believe how unflinchingly biased you lot are.
