men will do literally anything other than engaging in pro-social community-oriented behavior and then get online and complain about how masculinity is vilified and men aren't allowed to be heroes anymore
"all men really want is to feel like the hero" okay then volunteer at a food bank. get narcan training. step in when a woman is being harassed on the street. help out an elderly neighbor with shopping or home repairs. learn how to safely de-escalate fights. help your friends move. join or start your workplace union. become a big brother or volunteer coach for kids' sports. clean up your local park or get involved in some local conservation campaign. do your own damn dishes. notice what needs to be done and then do it. the world doesn't need heroes, it needs helpers. there are literally so many paths to finding a sense of self-respect and worth through pro-social behaviors that improve your immediate local community and help build your network of close personal connections. but these guys don't give a shit about actually contributing anything to the world. they just want to whine and fantasize.
their inherent lack of self-respect is belied not only by the fact that they can't imagine doing anything that contributes to building a better, more resilient society, but how they can't imagine that doing so might involve a lot of small acts and choices and not one big act of heroism that gets them on the news as Big Man Of The Year.
There is little to no glory in those activities, which are also feminine-coded
Not saying they aren’t valuable or that men shouldn’t do them or that they should be seen as feminine (they are valuable, men should do them, they should not be seen as inherently female behaviors) but those activities don’t really bring wealth, status, or fame.
Posting this is a great way to help people who are already annoyed with whiny and aimless men commiserate, but it’s not going to stop those men from being whiny or aimless because being a “helper,” however inherently noble, is not glorious and often feels degrading. It’s not uncommon that it makes people feel sorry for you. Posts like this do not address the root issue or understand their putative audience.
Ask me how I know
How would you address them? The desire for wealth, status, and fame, instead of moral virtue, IS the problem. This post is highlighting that people are wanting to be percieved as heroes without doing anything virtuous. Wanting unearned glory isn't christian. How is that not addressing the root issue?
Admittedly the tone here isn't likely to get through to a hostile audience but the advice isn't the wrong advice.
If a lawyer or businessman or doctor takes time to coach then no, his time is extremely valuable and he has status and so his coaching is noble. A sad, exhausted teacher taking on a coaching role on top of their already overloaded, demanding job that pays little is depressing. It seems like his time is not valuable and he has no choice.
Desire for wealth, status, and fame are wrong in the sense that they are not the ultimate Christian values and are dangerously easily disordered, but just rhetorically discarding them while society so lavishly rewards them without doing a lot of work that isn’t founded in knee-jerk contempt for useless males makes the problem worse.
It also feels like a lie to dismiss them and ridicule people for wanting them when anyone with eyes can see, again, the lavish rewards of wealth, status, and fame, and the deep, deep contempt for people who lack them.
Edit: sorry I didn’t answer your question. I would personally start by no longer lying about the obvious and pervasive demonstrated value of wealth, fame, and status and stop showering contempt on people who want them. I might, and this is just me, then personally go to school for many many years, become a teacher, and engage in the arduous and inglorious work of trying to shape young men to have properly oriented goals and to that do not see service as degrading and to understand that wealth, fame, and status are not ends. Your mileage may vary. But I would say everyone can stop lying about the problem.
If I were speaking from the world, instead of as a Christian, I would be a huge hypocrite, then. I would be saying something like "glory for me but not for thee," which doubtless many people are saying. But. The world values these things, but God doesn't. The problem that society has is a pervasive vainglorious materialism. I acknowledge the rewards of wealth and status and fame are real. But the appropriate attitude of a Christian is to actually spit on these things, or rather, to actively kill the impulse to seek them. The only cure we as Christians can give out to society is Jesus, not "here's how to get the missing prestige". Ultimately the world's satisfaction is completely empty and they will suffer loss probably in this life even.
Plus, as OP said, the rewards of work with actual value are intrinsic, and I think people would discover that if they did work with actual value.
hard cider was invented when someone decided to make beer that tastes good instead of bad
stupid fuckin post. People have been making beer since before they even knew how to write and you think that they don’t like the way it tastes?
damn all that time and it still tastes really bad. huge L tbh
Software used to run better after it was updated.
Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the dignity, support, and pay they deserve?
Yeah , it can be laid at the feet of Conservative Republicans , like almost everything else involving the public population ! Republicans hate education , because intelligent people can think for themselves .
So you think 94% of teachers in America are in Red states?
Because if that was true, I'd say the critical lack of teachers in blue states is a much bigger problem.
In the US, across the entire country, we spend 981 BILLION dollars on education from the kindergarten to grade 12 level.
When you break down the numbers, and the scandals, it's often VERY easy to find how administration and the unions work in concert to divert funds into things that get Administration kickbacks, and to keep employed teachers and staff that would not just be fired, but probably jailed in many cases if their situations came to light.
But nobody can fix it, because education's value as a political football (and how many politicians are in the pockets of related PAC's) make any real changes impossible to enact.
After all, admitting that X program is an issue would mean admitting those darn conservatives are right! Just as admitting that Y benefit would help kids would mean admitting those damn leftists are right!
One thing we should all be able to agree on is that "No Child Left Behind" was a massive mistake.

“Seven times, I have counted, is it written that You saw that what You made was good; and this is the eighth, that You saw all that You had made, and You saw that all things as a totality were not only good but very good. For taken one by one they were simply good; but taken altogether they were not only good but very good.”
— St. Augustine’s Confessions (XIII, xxviii)
“…it honours God more to consider him in all things than in any particular thing.”
