this spent an hour in the spam filter, wrongly. it's a powerful vid.

eta: the 'acceptance' bit at the end rubbed me wrong. 5 minutes of men wrenching their own guts, and the last word was 'accept it.' but may be true that that's what men are being told, in these 'counseling sessions' and in society at large: women own you. get over it

That was an amazing video to watch, especially as an Australian who grew up in a rural area. The suicide rate amongst Australian men in rural areas is one of the highest in the world. They do it so tough, they put everything of themselves into the land and into their families and this is how they're rewarded.

As a man you have to work from dawn till dusk to provide for your family and the way the courts look at it, if you've succeeded as a provider you've failed as a father. If you've succeeded as a father, it's because you've failed as a provider. And because you've failed at one, you deserve to have both taken from you.
