    Not OP, but men tell us themselves. They tell us when we’re in a relationship and they say that no one else ever understood them like we do. They tell us when we see them talk about their loneliness across the internet. To deny it is to deny the pain that so many men admit for themselves, albeit only when in private or anonymous spaces.

    A lot of men don’t have this deep trust in their lives, and I say this not out of malice but out of sympathy and concern. You deserve to know the kind of trust referenced here.

      Valid, but you still can’t assume that’s the experience for EVERY man. Plenty of men are 100% trusted by those around them. My father was one of them. I have never spoken to anyone who didn’t view my father with true respect, including my mother. Trustworthy men exist, but women are taught to NEVER trust ANY man, no matter what. And BTW, plenty of women aren’t trustworthy either.

      If we can ever get the political issues in this country settled to some extent (wishful thinking), we need to focus on the war between the sexes.

        Yep, which is why the rest of us are using words like “many,” “most,” and “a lot of.”
