"We urgently need to expand the conversation about men's mental health to include those who spend hours online reinforcing harmful, self-defeating worldviews. These aren't just lonely guys. They're often deeply hurt people who've found identity and community in cynicism, misogyny, or nihilism."
"In these online spaces, emotional pain gets reframed as evidence of betrayal by women and society. These communities become training grounds for entitlement and despair. The conversation around men's mental health often shies away from this group."

Many men lack the emotional vocabulary to express their feelings, and some are drawn to online communities that reinforce negative worldviews.

Both men and women suffer under societal expectations, complicating the dialogue around mental health.
