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.

You are a great example of someone not understanding that things are complex so you reach for tabloid explanations because they are comfortable and simple.
