I like his point about men deserving to express the full range of emotions, including rage. Men are just told to suppress their emotions, particularly anger these days or they are toxic and abusive, while women can scream and ran "because their voices are not as scary".
When told "men need to be able to cry more" to cure so called toxic masculinity" I always say "If men cried, you would be crying too" If men actually were free to share their emotions and use them as drivers for change in life and politics, women would be very, very sad simply because men would no longer be shutting up and taking it.
Good piece, that. Very relevant for a lot of the posts I see on this forum. Didn't know he was still actively posting anywhere, but glad he is. A voice of reason well worth taking into account.

quite an interesting read.
He nearly gets to the point!
I think the point he should be making is this: why do men want a relationship with a woman in the first place?
Relationships come at a cost. They come at a great cost, not just financial cost.
The thing is, every cost has to have a correspondingly higher benefit, or nobody will be interested. So far so good?
Good. So the thing to realise is this: what do men want from women in the first place?
Legacy. Family. Children. A family life.
That is what men want. There is simply no other good reason why anyone should consider risking their peace, sanity or estate on a woman.
