Misogynistic drivel.
Woman: I’m suffering
Man: I have it worse!
Shut the fuck up and listen. If someone says they’re suffering you pay attention to their problems not make it a contest.
Unless they are a man, of course, then they should just get a therapist.
So you’re just ignoring the part where the woman says that the man doesn’t understand? That’s the whole reason why he says how he feels. He’s not just saying that to undermine her struggle. He’s explaining why he thinks he understands her better than she thinks.
It’s about depression you git. Does he have “all men” tattooed on his fucking forehead? It’s one dude. You sound extremely hypocritical
I feel like if this was a specific character going “wait that’s not normal lol” the joke would land better. But as it is the only frame of reference we have is one representing women and one representing men.
And it just all falls flat because women can have mental illnesses too? And yes men are forced to repress it more often but women often have their physical or mental health dismissed or ignored so it’s not much better either way.
I’m trans so I’ll never face a period but I can’t imagine the agony of going through one in addition to a mental health crisis or other sickness. And it’s not like women get “period days off” of work or school so you’re just expected to push through it.
I’m grateful you will never have to deal with it, it makes me a little jealous. If you ever want to imagine what bad cramps feel like, imagine a power drill plunged into your belly, whirring at full speed. 😭

Now all together: Feeling bad and being sad are things you do not compete at
One man’s trash
Lemmy: MISOGYNY!
Meanwhile, me, a dumdum: Damn the author has experienced critically low self-esteem…or the joke is as fun as a rock in the field.
Like, either it’s self-depreciating/edgy humor or it’s not humor at all lol.
I immediately understood it to be a description of severe depression. If a neurotypical person suddenly experiences a low from a period similar to a depressed person’s average day, why is it suddenly misogyny?
this is fuckin dumb
Idk i may be only 14 but im thinkin it’s pretty deep
So… Why is this one getting reposted?
I love the comments demonstrating exactly how men’s mental health issues are marginalised, ignored and treated with contempt.
BTW, international men’s day is November 19th, and no one gives a shit.
I give a shit. Stop saying no one gives a shit, it’s not true. The media powers put those words together, stop repeating the lie they sell you.
Give a shit
Having once been a part of reddits /menslib. I can safely say that if that is the best we can do then its hopeless.
The best you can do is give a shit.
Say it louder than the naysayers.
I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR COMMUNITIES
CHECK IN WITH YOUR FELLOW DUDES
BE HONEST AND VULNERABLE EVEN WHEN IT FEELS LIKE YOU SHOULDN’T
BE THE LIGHT WHEN THERE IS ONLY DARKENSS FOR BOTH YOURSELF AND OTHERS
BE RADICAL, BE THE CHANGE, GIVE EXTRA FUCKS, FOR NOT ALL HAVE FUCKS TO GIVE!
I do. But I feel like I have to work against both sides on this issue.
Did you see any posts on international men’s day on Lemmy? Because I didn’t, and I also forgot. No one fucking cares. The only time it gets bought up is on 8 march because of douchebags. And doesn’t even get mentioned on the fucking day it happens , even by people who know about it, because we also forget
Lots of arguing here who has it worse. Hard to get objective comparisons.
I suppose asking post-op trans people might be the best way to come closest to objective information on the subject. Wonder if the data from transfemmes and transmascs would be significantly different.
Depression from being forced to grow up the opposite gender entirely removes my objectivity on this topic. Cis men don’t experience that same feeling so I can’t comment on what they feel.
I can say I personally feel a lot better as a woman though.
Also, cis women can stop their periods. My roommate has a thing injected in their arm for birth control that also fully stops their periods for (iirc) ~5 years.
Also I saw online that if you skip a dose of pill birth control before your period you can also skip the period, but I don’t have a uterus so I can’t confirm if that’s true loledit: This topic is a lot more complicated than I thought it was. I apologize.
Saying cis women can just stop their periods if they feel like it is a vast over simplification. Birth control fucks with your hormones often in very unpredictable ways. My friend had a light period for like 3 months straight due to her birth control and the doctors said that was fine and normal. In me, birth control triggered treatment resistant suicidal depression that I deal with to this day. In my sister, it gave wild mood swings and general emotional instability. My other sister was just plain allergic to it.
It’s dangerous for women to go on hormonal birth control even though it’s so common and normalized. Women’s Healthcare in the USA is so hit or miss, and doctors are often uninformed or dismissive. Maybe you live elsewhere where it’s better?
Please understand that periods are absolutely not optional. Even a complete hysterectomy (not that many of us could be granted one anyway) would trigger early menopause which is its own host of issues.
I had no idea it was so different for different people. I did not mean to downplay your issues at all, I apologize
I’ve noticed a trend (at least in online spaces I’ve been in) that trans women are much more present and vocal about their experiences than trans men. Do you have any observations on that topic? I wonder if trans women are simply more numerous, or perhaps trans men have more reasons to not be so vocal, e.g., ingrained shyness etc.
I know that on Lemmy specifically the number of trans women is significantly higher than the number of trans men, iirc Tumblr Pinterest and bluesky are places that trans men tend to be more dominant.
There is also a point that there’s not much about men that women don’t already know compared to the VAST amount of things that men don’t know about women.
So when someone switches gender the transfems tend to have a lot more learning and will overshare their experiences to help prevent the struggle for the next transfems that come along.though obviously that’s not to downplay the issues that trans men experience, there’s a lot of things that I thought were obvious that my transmasc friends had no idea about

Yeah, yeah. What do you think the origin of the word menstruation is?
It’s men + frustration.
booo
