Across the UK, men are gathering in small groups to share how they really feel. It’s personal, non- judgmental – and potentially life-changing

      Well turns out that men aren’t a hive mind either.

      While It’s good to see such activities, i have to agree with the invisible comment. It would be personal hell or at least really uncomfortable/awkward and rather unproductive.

      Huh, I can’t see that comment, I wonder if .zip is defeferated with shitjustworks

      In fairness I probably would also hate this particular format of interaction but if its working for people that makes me happy. I’m queer and fortunately managed to avoid many of the most difficult aspects of male socialization. Or at least got them at a much lower intensity, and am surrounded by people who welcome me to talk with them and be vulnerable with them when I need to

      i’ve been thinking about making an /r/menslib equivalent, but i really don’t have the time to dedicate to it… 😩 still, if that’s something you want, there’s no better way to get it than to organize it
