“white people join the kkk because they are made to feel inherently evil! we need more white positivity if we want to stop this! black people need to stop being so mean!” <- unironically how you all sound when you talk about incels

while we’re all publicly critiquing the “male loneliness” hysteria i want to mention that the “men’s mental health!!!” handwringing is a part of it. which is not to say that I am not empathetic to the mental health struggles of men as individuals. my wish is for everyone to have access to quality mental health care, and for people in the depths of mental illness to find support and get better.

But it’s frankly a disservice to women and everyone else to frame “men’s mental health” as a uniquely urgent social issue. I’m not going to unpack all of the statistics right now, but suffice to say men’s mental health issues are not inherently worse or more prevalent than anyone else’s. In fact, women suffer from depression at higher rates than men.

Yet women’s collective mental health does not generate mass concern or rhetorical pandering like that of men, because:

(1) our society at large does not encourage/reward collective empathy for women the way it does for men. conversely, efforts to talk about women’s issues are often treated as suspect and met with overwhelming anti-feminist backlash.

And (2) women’s mental health cannot be dredged up as an apolitical scapegoat for things like mass murder and sexual violence. because women as a group, despite suffering from equal or greater mental health struggles, do not commit those crimes at nearly the same rates as men. And when they do, no one is saying “but she was depressed” or “we should have been nicer to her” or “if only he hadn’t rejected her.”

And all this lip service to “men’s mental health” does not address or even attempt to address the explicit radical misogyny that these disaffected young men are embracing. because that would require a serious critique of systemic patriarchy and gender politics, which tends to unsettle the people who are invested in maintaining that system.

Anyway. It is extremely tiresome to see widespread patriarchal violence and resentment toward women’s social advancement dismissed with cries of “men need to be coddled more!!!”
