> "Be nice to everyone. Be nice. Be nice!"

Yours is a very good piece, but I'd say that, from the '70s onward, men were taught to "Be nice!" as well. Therefore we now have lots of "nice guys" around who are people pleasers, "doormats" and repressed.

Our society tend to ignore that, because the feminist voices (actually most media) underline the worst aspect of masculinity (ignoring their frailty and suffering).

The gender discourse usually revolves around a "Men bad / attackers - Women good / victims" mentality (your writing sounds different, thank God). Reality is actually way more mixed and less black and white.
