Men are not silent by nature, they are forced into silence. Every time they try to speak they are ordered to shut up, sit down, and “be a man.”
The world drills the same message into their skulls: your pain is weakness, your struggles are irrelevant, your voice is nothing, and you as a man are disposable.
So men stop talking. Not because they choose to, but because they know the truth, no one gives a damn. That silence rots inside them until it kills.
The numbers expose it. Men kill themselves at four times the rate of women. Not because they lack courage, but because society mocks them the second they admit pain. Even therapy is poisoned against them. The mental health industry doesn’t see men as patients, it sees them as the problem, the burden, the cause of everything wrong.
And here’s the venom you can’t wash away: society does not want to hear men’s problems. Women don’t want to hear them, institutions don’t want to hear them, governments don’t want to hear them. Men exist only to work, to fight, to pay, to bleed, and to die. That is the demand. That is the expectation. Shut up and suffer for everyone else.
Men don’t need more worthless lectures telling them to “man up.” They need to be heard, respected, and treated as human beings. But that will never happen. Society is not built to care about men. It is built to feed on them, to drain them until they collapse, and then to bury their silence under shame.
This is the ugly reality: men are not valued, they are harvested. Their strength is consumed, their suffering is mocked, and their deaths are ignored. And the world likes it that way.
