      Then why do I see so many people talking about issues like abortion as if all men are against it and all women are for it?

      Thats not helping.

      A huge amount of those men are either suffering from mental illness, or lashing out because of that hate, which is just further polarizing them.

        Women are losing their rights but we need to stop and consider how the men who voted for a convicted felon authoritarian rapist are the real victims here.

        Lashing out when hurt is a maladaptive behavior. Giving in to someone who’s lashing out doesn’t solve the underlying issues. Instead, it serves to reinforce the behavior - making it happen more frequently. By contrast, therapy can absolutely help with both the behavior and any illness that’s aggravating it.

        Do you honestly think Trump’s regime is going to help such people get the mental healthcare they need? If so, what, specifically, has any of his party said or done that supports that argument?

          This entire post is lashing out when hurt. All of these demographic breakdowns are.

            Yes, the neglect of our nation’s mental health is screwing every facet of society. The in-fighting that’s exploded since the election results came out is heart-breaking to see. Victims blaming victims, while the rich and the politicians who’ve spent decades using their money and power to actively withhold health care, attack the educational system, and sow this distrust in the first place are, once again, getting away without blame.

            Trump’s not going to fix any of that. I’m going to keep bringing the focus to him and his ilk, because as easy as it is to lash out at each other, the blame squarely falls on the powerful people who’ve created this environment.
