I'm saving that one for tomorrow, when the "what about that vigilante" talk comes out.
There's a great potential come-back for these memes. At the start of Men in Black 2 the villainess gets assaulted in the park by a dude who licks her neck and says "hey, pretty lady you taste good", then she eats him alive and replies "thanks, you too". Unfortunately, I can't find an english clip of this anywhere.
Yep.We live in a society.
Guys are expected to just soak the damage and ignore it as if the damage never happened because "we don't have time to bleed" according to the ideals of masculinity.We live in a society.

Very gew guys are able shrug off injuries as if they never happened. Those who can are probably some sort of psyco or so hopped on drugs that pain doesn't even register anymore.
Even proper tradition says that a guy letting his own wife know that he can't handle everything is him saying "I'm not good enough".If we're being proper Trad, then men are expected to not show their issues to anybody but their family, and their wives should be the ones to help them through it.
Modern women aren't capable of helping a goldfish forget pain.

Or they do find a woman who will have them, and she treats him so poorly that a man has no way out but suicide, because the wife would just take everything he has in a divorce anyway and leave him with less than nothing.Male spaces where a man could find support and a place of common experience have been systematically disrupted over the past century. So has religion for that matter. So while a man may have sought help or solace at the pub, club, or clergy these tools are generally unavailable to modern man. And when you can't even find a sympathetic friend you can talk to or a woman in your life to share it with eventually a lot of men kill themselves. But shhhh, it's a patriarchy...
