    But they didn’t say that. They flat out said “men are broken”.

      You seem to have stopped reading once you got through the headline and missed the entire article written afterwards.

        Surely you have something more constructive to say than a sneering quip?

          Sure: Read the article and reassess what you think it’s about. I for sure didnt walk away with the same impression you did, but I could see why I would if I read the headline and headed straight to the comments section.

          At least read the article before you criticize it, because it’s nothing like what you seem to think it is.

            I did read it and it’s riddled with shit I would never, ever want, and yet he presents it like it’s a bad thing. Here’s a choice example:

            When traveling or running errands, and I saw a parent dealing with an exhausting kid, I could help and not be stared at like a creep.

            I can’t imagine ever wanting to help with a strangers child. Not because I might be treated like a creep, but because it’s just none of my business. I would even go so far as to say that assuming they need help is problematic in itself. But he doesn’t address that; no, apparently men don’t help because we’ve been broken by society.

        We’ll just have to agree to disagree on that.
