I feel like women with depression are still expected to be polite and pretend to be happy in order to keep others happy, while men with depression get to be openly miserable and even rude and their depression can be an excuse for whatever bad behaviour they engage in.
Yessssssssss Also men’s depression is seen as like artistic and deep. Like its ok that theyre rude cause theyre going to write the next great American novel or some bull shit. While women with depression really aren’t taken seriously or were asked if we are pmsing or our suicides get made fun of for decades (sylvia plath)
See I’ve only ever seen the opposite. If a guy has depression, he’s told to man up and get work done anyway. A girl has depression and it’s wow, how sad is the beauty, we must melt and heal the ice queen’s heart. I think it depends on where you look, but anyone’s depression can either be overblown and fed into or diminished to the point of isolation.
