This right here. People forget that patriarchy doesn’t mean that men have no problems, just that social systems favor men.

If people want to watch some very good breakdowns of the current 'masculinity crisis’s and the reasons it exists, I would recommend watching Contrapoints, Swolesome, F.D. Signifier, Khadija Mbowe, Foreign Man in a Foreign Land, and anyone that they invite onto their episodes where they discuss men’s issues. Even if a particular episode deals specifically with trans men or black men, it is still worth watching, because we all live in the same system, it just affects us differently based on its categories and enforcement of labels.

My husband and I have been watching them for years, and a lot of these videos have helped him immensely, because they allow him to put his frustrations with lack of emotional intimacy and social support into words that make sense and aren’t immediately dismissed by therapists or family members, who are often perpetrators of these very biases.
