“The patriarchy” isn’t this all-encompassing boogeyman that you seem to think it is. Yes, it’s true that men are hurt by the societal expectations that people have levied against the male gender identity. The idea that men can’t or shouldn’t talk about their feelings, must remain stoic, and never display anything that could be considered a weakness DOES hurt and leads to higher rates of suicide amongst men. But also, you can’t just blame people for “not taking action to do anything about it”.
