Stopping Male Suicide Horizon,2018 Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK - causing more deaths in this group than car accidents, and even more than cancer. This means that the most likely thing to kill Dr Xand Van Tulleken is himself. And he wants to know why.

One of us just did a write-up about it on Men Are Human:

My personal thoughts on it are a lot more positive, but I think there are some really good points raised about the subtext.

We are already know the answer to this. It's a combination of lost privilege, sexual entitlement, toxic masculinity and fragile masculinity. Also men don't act feminine enough and talk about their feelings to other women. /s

It has nothing to do with stats like these, or the fact that feminists enforce all of the negative attributes of the male gender role while eliminating all of the positive attributes.

Wow I can't believe Horizon did an episode about this. It's a very prestigious series.

Ok, Found some stats (below). They do indeed show that suicide is the most prevalent cause of death for males 5-49! (Under 10s are not recorded as suicide) so that puts a big weighting on the 10-19s.

Sorry u/CharlieShogun I don't think this story fits your narrative as women also show as top ranking until 35-49 when breast cancer, liver diseases and accidental poisoning step in ( the accidental poisoning is highly suspect! )

Yes, I agree the polarised attention in the world of celebrity and our obsession with it as far as feminism is concerned will have ramifications for young men (and young women). We are in gender flux as brawn no longer equals breadwinner but drawing divisions will not solve anything... How well has it worked in the race debate?

Many PEOPLE are vulnerable and need help.

Be a real man and give your mate a hug and listen to him!
