Living in this world as a man, it quickly becomes apparent why men die off quicker than woman in every age group, (precipitously more after age 65).

And it's obvious on why men committ 80% of the suicides. I'm sure the real number is 95%.

It's stupifying to see how poorly men are treated in this world & how little the average man is valued.

I'm stunned women even give birth to us when so many of them have a hatred for men.

Again, the hatred is NOT reciprical at any level on our end.

I truly don't understand women....at all.

I would counter by observing all the Robber Barons turned to philanthropy:

Andrew Carnegie, the steel magnate said "The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced," He wrote it in his 1889 essay titled "The Gospel of Wealth." This essay is the single most important document for understanding the philanthropic urge.

Carnegie's core argument in the essay was it was the moral duty of the new class of super-wealthy industrialists to use their fortunes for the public good.

He believed in strategic philanthropy, not just charity. He argued for funding public institutions (like libraries, universities, and concert halls) that would provide what he called "ladders of opportunity" for people to improve themselves.

He was strongly against simply passing down massive fortunes to heirs, believing it was wasteful and often destroyed the character of the children.

Carnegie built public libraries. Rockefeller built University of Chicago and what is now Rockefeller University. He eliminated hookworm via the Rockefeller Foundation. Stanford built Stanford University. Vanderbilt built a university. J.P. Morgan founded the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

They had the money but they craved the respect philanthropy gave them. Call it reputation laundering if you will, for their sins were many and terrible.
