Then how do you explain the suicide disparity?

When are modern men supposed to have time for friends and social activities? We’re told that basically working all day to pay for everything isn’t enough, oh no we have to shoulder half the household chores (except the really hard stuff like yard work, fixing things, working on the car - that we have to do 100% of), half the cooking, half the cleaning, half the laundry, half the child rearing.

Meanwhile society has bought into this bullshit notion that “moms are unappreciated” and “work harder than dads” and “don’t get paid” (except for, you know, having a roof over their head, food on the table, a car, nice clothes, etc). God forbid Dad go to the pub after work for a couple beers - then he gets shamed as “selfish” and “lazy” and a “bad dad”. But of course he’s expected to babysit the kids while wifey swans off to her book club, her girls night out, etc. Men used to have service clubs and social clubs - now our evenings and weekends are spent folding laundry, grocery shopping, and shuttling the kids around. (And of course, men’s only clubs are essentially illegal now.)

This dynamic is captured perfectly by the scene from “Knocked Up” where Leslie Mann’s mom character “busts” Paul Rudd’s dad character at his baseball draft, which he had to lie about going to because God forbid he should have some time away from the wife and kids with his buddies. She initially suspected him of cheating, and actually seems angrier that he wanted time away from the family. This is followed by her bitching “what about meeeeeeee and my break?” - never mind that she’s already been clubbing umpteen times by this point with her sister Katherine Heigl while, you guessed it, dad stays home with the kids.
