There is a lot of material out there, even identifying bias - but little action.

Example Samaritans UK say in 2012;

We need to move from blaming men for not being like women. to recognising their needs

Men and suicide: Why it’s a social issue, Jacqui Thornton, 2012 ""

However, they have still not implemented this after 5 years and Samaritans Volunteers are still treating male callers as broken women.

Research by Movember is still ignored:

Despite the recognised importance of sex differences in suicide, and the amount of available work on such sex differences, there is currently only a limited amount of empirical work on the links between masculine gender and suicidal ideation, suicide attempt and suicide and this constitutes a knowledge gap in the field.

Professor Steve Robertson, Dr Anne-Marie Bagnall, Dr Michael Walker Evidence for a gender-based approach to mental health program: identifying the key considerations associated with “being male” Rapid Review (UK) (commissioned by the Sax Institute, on behalf of the Movember Foundation), Movember - 2014 .

That Knowledge Gap Is Still Not Being Addressed lending weight to the view that men are the Disposable Sex (See The Myth Of male Power)
