Men everywhere except China commit far more suicides than women. And yet it is only in the West that it is taken as indication of men's problems.

I remember Jordan Peterson crying about suicide of young men on BBC, and I also remember Maajid Nawaz agreeing with Peterson on his own on LBC. There are many other semi-mainstream who have raised their concerns about male suicide, I'm too lazy to google them now.

But these same Jordan Peterson and Maajid Nawaz will tell you that Islam horribly oppresses women, even though in Islamic countries men also commit suicide 3 times as often on average. And I'm pretty sure that Peterson and Nawaz consider women to be oppressed not just in Islamic but in all countries outside of the West.

Sorry, but male suicide either means something or it means nothing. If it means something, it means something everywhere. If it means nothing, it means nothing also everywhere. (Same goes with disparities in life expectancy, violence, homelessness, sentencing, education, war casualties... which are all in favor of women everywhere, including in Islamic countries.)

Peterson and Nawaz are heroes on this subreddit. That's why I'm bringing this up.

By the way, I'm white and non-Muslim, just in case AltRight idiots are lurking around here.
