“We feel sorry for women. We don’t really feel sorry for men, right? So if a woman is a victim, everyone wants to, like, go and help her and support her, and it’s natural and understandable. There’s is a very good evolutionary reason for this, I think, which is men are biologically disposable. Basically, um, you know, if you have a tribe of 10 men and 10 women, you send the men off to war; if one comes back, you can replenish the tribe, and that’s one very lucky dude.”
For a long time, society has drawn a picture of men as tough, stoic, and capable of handling their issues. In turn, this has caused a lot of men’s needs to be ignored. For generations, men and women have been set up against each other, where men are seen as aggressive and controlling, whereas women are seen as the victims of these behaviors. Consequently, women have been empowered over generations to be able to stand up for their rights and measure up to men while completely ignoring men’s needs and rights.
For society to be balanced, men and women must find a way to coexist and support each other. Men and women can complement each other in different ways, and that is how it should be. This will ensure no bias when it comes to meeting people’s needs at an individual level rather than determining which gender’s needs are more important.
