Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Do you think no woman out there has ever lost everything and fucked up every chance they get? But societally speaking it’s more acceptable to get help and talk about their fuck ups without judgement.

I think you're forgetting that it's infinately easier for women to do this as well. just as in OP's post, people ask women if they are ok. women are engaged by strangers if they are crying on a park bench. men are mocked. I don't know if you're a man or woman, but it's rough out there for a dude.

No, I’m not forgetting it. What I’m saying is that it’s easier for women BECAUSE of the perpetuation of the “suck it up men” attitude by other men like OP. And that needs to stop.

Women do it to other men too, don’t get me wrong, but if you** (presumed male) know how hard it is for men out there, why are you not reaching out to your male peers? Is that not just perpetuating the status quo? Change has to start somewhere, and it should be within our male peergroups.
