Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

But society is run by men so it would seem its our own damn fault.

@Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world :

There’s a lot of expectations of men - a lot of them self-inflicted - and if you don’t feel you can live up to them it sucks.

Basically, there are two kinds of men : those who are succeeding at the things they are trying to achieve, and the rest. If you're part of the first group, congrats! You're privvy to the privilage and etc and you are part of the "gender society appreciates". If you're part of the rest, you're a fucking awful failure , shut up, fuck off, and die already, no one cares and no one will help you until you help yourself.

So then get therapy and help yourself, idk what to tell you

Therapy can help with individual problems, but is a poor salve for the harms caused by systemic problems.

It wont fix systemic problems but it will give you the tools to work through them without taking your problems out on others and contributing to the abusive systems.

We all suffer from system-level problems and yet some are well-adjusted (as well asnthey can be) and some are not.
If not therapy, what bridges this gap?
