Place for male identifying persons to share their stories without judgement and come together in support to bring each other up instead of tear each other down. "Alpha" males and other dumb ass made up shit will be dealt with. This is NOT a space to bring women down this a place to bring men UP.

You wanna know what’s worse?
No one giving a goddamn about you at all; not even being worthy of criticism or toxic masculinity. Just left for dead on the proverbial side of the road. But also being told to think of your family, and how much you’d hurt them, and miss out on.
It’s always about somebody else.
This community is here specifically for you. Even if no one else cares about you, I do. Please remember that. And I hope that you can find more people here in this community who feel the same. My favorite phrase for family is "family is not a privilege, it is a right" and if you're a fucking jackass then that right can be taken away. Or on the other hand, you can freely give the right to family to others.
The other common phrase "blood is thicker than water"? That's a bastardization of the original which means literally the opposite - "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb". Meaning the connection to the people you choose to be your family is stronger than the connection to the people forced to be your family.
