Men don't need fake support and reassurance from virtue signalling media corporations who don't give a fuck about anyone.

We only appreciate those things when they are genuine, otherwise we can endure without being treated like children.

You're right, we don't. But it would be nice to be treated fairly regardless. Public perception and image matter more than you think

Anecdotal evidence form 1 person (me).

But another thing too. I'd say the past 7-8 years at work have been a slew of people going on sick leave of some sort. And I'm not talking cancer or family issues. But stress leave. The kind where in Canada you dont even need a doctors note now. You just tell the boss and HR youre feeling shit and gong on leave for TBD time frame. I had never seen one person go on stress leave ever from when I started working after university till around 2015. Now, every year there's a couple who disappear for 6-12 months. Oh and look at that. When they are back, they announce they are leaving the company for another job too.

All women. Only guy I know who went on leave was a guy who was a drunk going on chat calls slurring his speech wasted (as per his department). And people said in afternoon meetings he could reek of booze. So this guy was drinking up at lunch.

And what happens when people go on leave? Rest of team has to cover. On my team, some chick went on leave for a month or so. She seemed coherent and mentally fine but her legs hurt. Somehow she couldnt work though she has a desk job. She's back and fine after she said her doc told her to take some meds and lose some weight (she's fat). Jesus fuck. Thanks for the extra work!

Maybe.

But either way, it's Google. I would probably be more pissed on their fake, hollow attempt to make themselves look like they care for me. If i was a woman, i would be pissed with all this condescending way the media treats me, especially when i know they don't really care and they only do it because it makes themselves look better to investors or a certain type of people, etc.
