men die almost as often from suicide as women do from breast cancer

Lol if you ever talk about suicide as a gendered issue it will immediately get taken over by feminists saying women are still most affected because women report attempting suicide more frequently.

Male victim erasure is very real.

Anything multiplied by the worth of men is still zero

For there to be outrage they’d have to at least care first

Male privilege in action

Learn a few risk factors, look,these up on a suitable website, and start keeping this is mind when talking to men. A man might not volunteer that he is in despair, but he may tell you the truth if you ask outright. If a friend or family member tells you he has just lost his job, girlfriend or wife has left him, don,t argue about politics, or other subject that does not matter at the time. Just chat and really listen for protective factors ( such as children, pets or parents), and if that man thinks and feels like his life is worth living. Does he feel that he has worth? Does he have a support system in person, not just on the internet?

If somebody tells you he feels like killing himself, you can just ask outright if you have been talking honestly for a while, and has a well thought out plan to act, and is planning to act, encourage him to see a dr or go to a hospital. That way if somebody does kill himself, you will know you did everything you could to attempt to prevent it.

Men (in general) are not expecting others asking about their well-being. In my personal experience, many are only too happy to tell somebody, just for the asking.

Thank you very much for asking about this. If more people had this productive conversation, we can start to influence our culture to take an interest in this very important issue.

If any of you reading this feels actively suicidal, I urge you to tell somebody, If you are in the UK call the Samaritans if you don’t have a friend or family member to call.

It doesn't exist. They're happy when we die.

I am a female psychiatric nurse. I work at an in patient addictions unit which was,taken over by an organisation which works inside the prison service. My job started off working with both males and females equally. My job is now working with men’s mental health. I do care about this issue, and I have spoken to my husband and male friends about the risk factors and how to potentially spot a man of high risk. I am only one person, but I can tell you I challenge the narrative when I hear statements which are untrue. I do try to encourage men to learn how to risk assess other men they know to prevent as many suicides as possible. I hear people complain about this issue, and they are right to do so, but how many of you have bothered to learn how to help somebody at risk?

I urge all of you reading this to learn some basic skills, it could save a man’s life.

Could I get a source for those numbers? I'd like to read more about this.

Andrew Wilson quoted data on stream that said men are the primary victims of SA and R and/or violence (its been a lil while since I heard it) not women when blank is accounted for i forget what he said but I wasn't surprised. We're the logical ones.

Isn't there something similar with prostate and breast cancer? Guess which one gets the funding.

EnvironmentalRow996 · 2025-03-30T22:51:04+00:00

Poor me feminism.

Victim virtue signalling.

There's no empathy for men.

Clinton, 1998, "The experience that you have gone through is in many ways comparable to what happens with domestic violence. Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from conflict and sometimes, more frequently in today’s warfare, victims. Women are often left with the responsibility, alone, of raising the children."

Whoa 🤯 this is a wake up call!

Eden_Company · 2025-03-30T01:12:26+00:00

Those numbers are actually quite low. Are you talking about a population that's 500 million large or larger?

Male suicide awareness month

A lot of men die from prostate cancer as well, but they don't give a shit about them.

Someone should look into Iradia bablitch and her family

Nouvel_User · 2025-03-30T12:03:42+00:00

I don't understand why men don't get organized to talk about these issues, gosh.
