Re: "Cause"....my autocorrect is wrong then, because it underlines it in that squiggly green line to get me to change it....not important tho. What I'd like to know is, why would I click "delete? You've provided a link of support groups, that could actually help many guys out there, then basically, you encourage me to delete it. WHY? I think I know why, but that's not important either. However, what do you think your message brings with it? How do you think I now see your message and reply? I see it NOT as help, but as, "See, in your face", which is precisely what was mentioned in my friends letter. He is pleading for help, and you didn't really come here to offer anything but more discouragement, I'm sorry to say. At least, that's how we've received it anyways. I'm not sure where you are from, but here in Canada, there is but one, maybe two, men's only shelters, a couple of call in centers, if they can find volunteers. (we dare not advertise or canvas for them anymore! That's just like playing with dynamite these days!) And yes, there are one or two support groups, which normally, are hard to find. Most don't last long....I wonder why?? There use to be more, but because of public opinion, and pressures from "other groups", they were forced to close down. So, thank you first for those links, even though the few that are there, are mostly only in the US, and then 2ndly, if you are being sincere, you can't help but to agree completely, just how today's men are being systematically perceived and quietly being shunned away. Wouldn't you disagree? If you don't see that, then, I'm sorry for you that you don't, because statistically, if you have 10 men that you truly care about in your life, at the very least, 4 of them suffer quickly, because of embarrassment, or from fear of being humiliated for "being weak", all because of political correctness, mainstream media, and today's social values/trends. (I say trends, because things change so fast in society today, I call it the "Throw away world" , or the "Me Me Me Society" we live in today. Most folks have been programmed to not get involved, to mind their business & just walk away. Often, they just stand around and record with their cellphones....but to help? Nah, not a chance! Watch any "family" sitcom or tv show that involves or mimics today's family, the kids pretty much think dad's an idiot or treat him as such, and the Mother mocks the father, or belittles & embarress's him in front of the kids, all the time. He's made to look like the fool, or the babbling idiot, and in some cases, is even been shown to be expendable & worse, non-existent! Whether you accept that narrative or not, it is entirely up to you. Judging from your reply, you seem to not care either way. But regardless, it HAS become plain as day to see how much value a single white male has in society, in both our two countries today. Perhaps even globally for all I know...though, I admit, I don't know. I've never researched it....anyways, Do you remember the YMCA?(no, not the song! lol) It was originally a club for men, but it actually became ILLEGAL for them to have an all male membership! That was back in the 70's or early 80's. Heck, even now, the Boy Scout's of America is no longer allow to be for "boys only". Do you think that applies to the Girl Guides/Girl Scouts of America too?....Are you kidding? NOT A CHANCE!! How many"women's only clubs & organizations" have sprung up in N. America since back then, in the 80's? How many, compared to that of men? Google that one. Perhaps, if you actually do Google that, see how many "Men's Shelters" there are in Canada. Don't be fooled by what you think you know. You can't see the forest for the trees. But anyways, as with my friend, that's just one man's opinion as well. You can disagree with some of it, or all of it, if you want. But if you don't mind, please don't delete this, just ignore it, okay? No worries! We've become use to that now...and have been for some time.... Like many, you likely just never noticed. Cheers!
