Are Fathers' Rights a Factor in Male Suicide?

How can we know since our feminist government does not want to allocate some funds to study male suicide (can you imagine the outcry if it was female suicide)?

It figures: the money is spent on studying imaginary wage discrimination and breast cancer /s

There was a study made in Australia though, and indeed the main cause of middle-aged male suicide is DIVORCE. Interestingly, females were actually less likely to kill themselves after divorce. It makes sense!

The root of the problem, I sense, is men and men's contribution to society are taken for grated.

Therefore losing men to heart disease and suicide, frustrating men through unfair child support judgments, crushing men's emotional life by stealing their children, traumatizing men through male genital mutilation and torture... these are allowed to persist because we collectively don't give a shit about men.

Some of that comes from the feminist's idea that no matter how bad men have it, women have it worse. Which is false and misleading, but many people believe it.

And I don't get the feeling there's any urgency on the part of men or women to turn this around. Look at the black inner city communities; what happens when a large portion of men are uninvolved in their family, community, or economy? Why, they scapegoat the men of course. So when the shit finally hits the fan, men will wear the blame for the shit society has heaped upon men.

It never seems to occur to feminists or the government that by devastating men as we do today, there are going to be consequences.

Look at circumcision; Goldman wrote his book "Circumcision: The Hidden Trauma" in 1997. Using demographic data, Goldman made a strong case linking neonatal male circumcision with a 600% increase in rape and intentional homicide by men versus non-circumcising countries.

What happened to Goldman's book? It was mostly ignored of course. Nobody wants to talk about the psychological or social consequences of circumcision. We just want to mutilate and then let the boy deal with it.

The problem is that, we have so many psychological and social mechanisms to silence men, that we're now in a position to subject men to any horror without social reprisals.

Maybe that's why things continue to get worse.

The camel's back is breaking, one man at a time. And ultimately men's problems will all be blamed on men. Disgusting.
