As men, we are raised to be mere cogs in the grand machine that is society. From the oldest of our memories, we remember girls being kissed, and loved, by the teachers, whereas, we boys, used to get all the detentions and sometimes even physical abuse at the hands of teachers. From the youngest of ages, we men have been told to shut up and not cry, to instead bottle it up, and thus lead to depression and isolation. Front the youngest of ages, we men have been treated as "potential rapists", to be feared and stayed away from.
What does this do to a human mind? It causes depression, isolation, and loneliness. Combine this with the general apathy of society to male issues, and the general hostility strangers have to men (compared to women) and you can see where this goes.
Perhaps the most prominent of these issues is touch starvation. Most guys rarely if ever have physical contact with anyone apart from handshakes. I as a guy in college, have not hugged anyone in almost 3 months, the last time I did was with my dad when I left home for college. This isn't just me, it's basically almost every man. We are so touch starved and depraved of basic human (non-sexual) intimacy, that we no longer know what it is to be a human. All we know is that we have to earn money, and provide for our family.
I look with envy and sadness whenever I see girls hugging, kissing and touching each other platonically. I wish sometimes, how must it feel to be treated with care and love? For all I know, I've never been treated like a human by the fellow humans that I am surrounded by. Why? Because I was born with the "wrong" genitalia.
