Men Are Less Likely Than Women To Seek Mental Health Help
Machismo, masculinity, and the age-old Cigar culture impedes men in achieving mental wellbeing. A glimpse into men’s psyche, the gaunt, the haunted, million-miles stare, and the burning anger.
The paradoxical notion that men are psychologically inept and the incessant inner struggle to liberate their feelings have been a constant quandary. It mystifies women but the understatement is the age-old mentality deep-rooted in the minds of every young boy growing up. The knight-in-shining armour is oftentimes bare and vulnerable when battling emotional hyper drive. I detest when we people make unfathomable alibi that men are incapable of ceding machismo because that how there are wired. This is unpopular but it is real, venal, petty, cruel, and arbitrary — Undeserving of our time’s good things. These conditions are outright injustices and it is not a grey area, it’s a reality at the tip of the iceberg not underneath a secretive cavern, and yet we refuse to act on it. We should wilfully try to get better at; otherwise, it is a failure. Men’s incapacity to be chivalrous is a vanity not a genetic make-up — it’s demonic narcissism.
Men are not like all men. There’s a clan, a gang, a gentleman’s club but no one represent all. No overlords. Not even during the renaissance period’s Kings. Some men are not what their class is branded but some are still hostile. Whatever are your philosophical, foundational beliefs these are painful stories, inescapable facts. It’s a fine line between a legitimate mental health diagnosis of being schizophrenic to just being an outright terrible human being. And no ever takes ownership of their maniacal behaviours. The anger and the rage is pathological, it’s man’s cry for help. It’s a glorious moment when that cry is spoken but it’s rare like a cosmic mineral stone on Earth while awaiting for an inter-planetary alignment. It’s an obscure analogy but an issue so serious deserves an avant-garde comparison.
In our society, locally to a global extent, we have given men more than enough pass for distasteful deeds. This alone is an argument for humanity’s imbalance that the universe screams at us. Men will always be men. Well, that is indeed the case if we let it. We are in the modern era but that is meaningless without advancement with our moronic norms. Tolerating these behaviours won’t yield change. We need to promote a culture for men wherein seeking help is expected because the alternative they’re doing, abusing and manipulation, would not be tolerated any more.
