Riddle me this, if finding healthy masculine "males" who can earn the tag of man is rare, how much rarer is it for a man to find the same in a platonic way to share the emotional burdens without dumping on women?

Of course part of the answer is to do therapy and do it in the right time and place, but the stoicism layers is just beyond mind blowing.

I just went through the heat dome of hell in Texas, where we had 50 days of blistering heat of 47 days above 100. 10 of those day? No Central A/C.

The ground is baked and everything is hard AF. So when it rained (call that emotional sharing/intimacy etc ... where does that water go?

Not in the ground, but in Texas with Sandy Loom, down the trauma baked cracks in the ground as it is the only thing that will absorb the water.

Of course no woman wants to deal with that shit at all, and I don't blame them.

Now with the political malestrom happening, you are going to see a lot of men i.e. the traditioanl "strong" ones (ha) lose their shit.

I already see it happening with some of my supposedly strong male friends who are feeling threatened when being questions on their memes and all that shit.

One of them is a marine, I stated to him ... Gee, I didn't know that marines were so sensitive?

So our society doesn't care, and we will all pay.

I look at what I had to do to deal and fix shit from going hard core conservative with the GOP up until 2016 to Blue and all of that now?

It was a fuck-ton of work, and I am still managing broken prieces and moving forward with thirst and what not.

But this has to happen with all males 16 and older, because if we believe Gen Z will be better? Nope. The man box just hasn't gotten to them yet, they just have been ground into a pulp .... yet ...
