The Secret Teachings 5/19/22 - Mendalorians

It is mental health awareness month. Although gender norms are considered outdated, men are still socially required to deal with their problems alone. Media, entertainment, and politics project images of men as a disposable brutes in all things - nearly all workplace and war deaths are male. Male feelings don't matter; their stresses, anxieties, fears, and requirements are laughed away or dismissed - the rate of male suicide is 3.5x higher than the same for females. Their voices matter little in abortion debates until it comes time to pay the bill. Despite domestic violence being socially attributed almost solely to males, data shows that although underreported greatly men are just as likely to be abused by an intimate partner compared. Men are also highly likely to be raped or be the victims of sexal abuse, wherein 1 in 3 women experience such abuse the number is 1 in 6 for men. None of this is to hashtag 'men matter' and women don't, but instead to demonstrate that men are treated as disposable and good for nothing except fulfilling their gender roles in silence. Even when it comes to punishments for crime, men typically serve nearly three quarters more time for the same exact crime carried out by a woman. Meanwhile, whereas women once hoped for 'indepdence' they are now just becoming men.
