Do u really want to be the one blaming 75% of suicides on men not being allowed to beat their wives?

This is so back asswards it is genuinely astounding.

Men are 75% of suicides under patriarchy.

Damn I wonder how someone could conclude that patriarchy hurts the majority of men.

Male suicide is getting worse every year the patriarchy is getting destroyed more every year, im simply pointing out the correlation is backward sof what u claim.

Damn I wonder how someone could conclude that patriarchy hurts the majority of men.

The data correlates exactly the wrong way for this to be true.

Correlation does not equal causation.

I would point to the economic disparity that is widening in virtually every advanced economy as a much more relevant driver of male suicide.

Exactly but causation does not come without correlation. Causation is a subset of correlation.

Economic disparity should be effecting the genders equally unless you are saying women are doing better financially.

Yep. Toxic masculinity wants us to work ourselves to death without complaining to anyone. So our mental health is in the fucking toilet. If you’re not working enough, you’re not providing and you’re not a real man. If you do work enough but show any emotion that’s not a β€œmanly” emotion (anything involving tears outside of a funeral or during Old Yeller or anything that’s too excited) then you’re not a real man.

I could write a whole dissertation on how young men get sucked into that whole toxic ideology due to the promises of being able to have a family and a house. And it’s all a fucking lie.
