Some of the fault can be attributed to video games and porn for their excessive stimulation. Truth is, when being depressed finding anything sufficiently stimulating is very hard. Some of the fault has to be attributed to this excessive femism and men/boys shaming that exists in the last decades. I say femism because feminism is supposed to be about equality but having men shamed at every place including media is not feminism. There are so many examples that prove this, it just can't be explained in one post.

Depression in men is increasing, and one of the main reasons is their lack of freedom to be actual men, instead of pussies that do what women want. It makes them feel like failures and most will actually go to video games and porn for compensating what they can't achieve in real life.

But talking more specifically about video games and simply put, we shouldn't put porn and video games in the same sentence. Normal video game usage is simply... normal. It is an hobby, a healthy one because it has many benefits, but playing more than 2/3/4 hours each day when the person has a job is not very healthy I think because it detracts from other areas of life, like family, taking care of yourself, friends and potential romantic relationships.

Can you explain these sentences? What the "freedom to be actual men" really means?

 

Men are fundamentally different from women and women are fundamentally different from men. We shouldn't have to make the same kind of decisions, or think alike, there is a whole dynamic between the two sexes that is healthy and essential and that is what actually makes most women happy in a relationship.

But instead there is this whole culture of making men have the same kind of sensitivity, that women are more emotionally evolved (whatever that means), that men should not look at women and simply being attracted to them, that men are creeps. In school they teach boys to be like girls, to not be more aggressive and whatever boys do, and "always" bring the example that girls are so much more superior and more intelligent. Also that you never hit a girl even if she is a total bitch and is hitting you, you just can't defend yourself. Or that you have to please your girlfriend or potential girlfriend a lot even sometimes sacrificing your pleasure simply because they are more complex beings. ALSO that you should accept a lot of their bullshit because they are so emotional and complex. What kind of message does that send? Of course men will put women in pedestals and be pussies and then women step on them and do whatever they want.

All of these things send many mixed messages to boys and men and they start behaving like girls actually and then girls are, of course, not attracted to them and they spiral into depression or other things. An extremely socially anxious boy or man that can't talk to girls is not normal, he should have been brought correctly and not have these problems because naturally being a boy/man he would learn his place, what it means to be a man and how he should treat women.

Anyway, if none of this makes sense to you, then you are lucky cause you never witnessed the real results of this modern age femism. Equal rights doesn't mean equal roles.
