I find it funny
How certain phrases and words make it obvious who a person is based on their reactions, and sadly, it is mostly men who have the most violent reactions to them.
• Toxic masculinity
• Self-sufficiency isn't helpful to the individual, community, or society
• Opinions are based on feelings, not facts
• Privilege isn't what you own or worked for
• Telling friends you love them
• Hugging friends/physical contact that is intimate does not mean sexual
• Seeking out help is how we survive as a society
• Therapy is for everyone
• Generational trauma is preventable with self-awareness
• Just because you had it okay or struggled doesn't mean everyone else must as well
• Just because you think you "came out fine" doesn't mean you really did
• Self accountability creates freedom from regret and shame
And these are just a few I can think of in 5 minutes. The list is long, and if the person opposing these thoughts actually took time to research these things to challenge their currently held beliefs, we might actually become better as a society. Of course, it's easier to be angry and deny there is any responsibility or obligation to become better people.
