Why did this get immediately downvoted, lol

Because it starts by making an assumption about men when they want to talk about their mental health... sounds a tad sexist to me tbh.

My theory is that it’s actually a mix of angry dudes feeling excluded because they weren’t explicitly included by women talking about their own struggles

Ah yes, that explains it, just a mix of "angry dudes" who feel "excluded". Right... maybe they are just men who care about men's health? Maybe it's just men who think, "Oh, yeah, I see this body issue, actually I can relate because TV also set unrealistic expectations for me"....

But no, it's the angry dudes, the sad dudes, trying to steal spotlight from women... -.-

I think you got something wrong here. The comment talks about the "angry dudes" complaining that women would think men didn't have this struggle. See very first statement in the meme. It's about the myth not the real problem itself.

Whereas people actually participating in the discourse know very well those double standards apply to everyone.
