CMV: Most of men's largest issues (suicide rate, homelessness, handling emotions, how they are treated around children, etc...) would be helped by feminism, as sexism is largely the reason for these issues.

All of the large issues that come up surrounding men (which I agree are a huge problem, these things also need to be handled) such as homelessness, suicide, not being able to talk about their feelings, feelings surrounding women and dating, children, etc... seem to all largely circle back to misogyny and sexism.

Men suffer with suicide and attempting suicide because they often feel they have nobody to reach out to because talking about your feelings is a "feminine" thing to do and men must be "masculine" because being feminine is seen as less than and weak by society, and men are not supposed to be weak. It's the same with homelessness, they get into a situation but feel they have nobody to reach out too. Often I hear men talk about how they can never share their feelings, but again, that is because we deem as a society that men need to be strong because women are... weak and therefore being feminine is also weak. 

I say this because so often I see men saying that feminism isn't needed or that it is trying to push women above men, but it seems if you really look at it, implementing equality and egalitarian practices would mean that men would be given the opportunity to just be human and not have to feel so pressured. To me, it makes sense that feminism also helps men because when we put women in a box, it only makes sense that is going to force men into the opposite box and so we both end up stuck with the expectations of how we should be that can be suffocating.

edit: I find it interesting that most women disagreeing are simply saying that men need their own specific movements or groups to help with their issues separately to be more focused, while the men disagreeing largely seem to be saying that all feminism wants to do is drag men down and that women actually only care about themselves and are just pretending to care about men’s issues. It seems that the women and feminists in this thread have shown that is not true.

You are fundamentally correct, gender issues are two sides of the same coin. Patriarchal gender norms hurt all of us. In that way, yes, feminist goals and ideals do actually stand to generally help men in the long run.

However, feminism is not a direct solution to these problems. Feminism is focused on women's issues and women's rights in the here and now. Complex male issues like suicide, homelessness, mental health, body dysmorphia, sexual trauma, social support networks... are NOT any part of any feminist agenda and won't see any direct improvement unless we create movements and initiatives specifically targeting those things.
