    I mean engaging with someone’s problems and trying to “help” with them can be a form of care or affection.

    I think both you and the post are 1000% right. I do wish society was able to have larger and less dysfunctional conversation around the issues men face.

    They are not the persistent threat of danger that women deal with, but cultural norms around men, masculinity, and how they’re treated are also deeply toxic and do a huge amount of harm.
