Feminism isn’t to blame for this issue. In fact, it may be part of the solution.

“Women, and feminists in particular, have been saying for decades that they want men to be more open with their feelings and want men to abandon masculine ideas of rugged individualism, so it makes no sense for women to somehow be blamed when men fail to seek help

Just stop being a man and you'll be fine.

While they may be killing themselves at record numbers, it’s hard to reconcile this with the idea that they are somehow unfairly favoured in the workplace, since men –and largely white men – hold 95.6 per cent of all chief executive officer roles at S&P 500 companies.

It’s also hard to draw attention to the plight of middle-class white males without falling into the open arms of the men’s rights movement, a “manosphere” populated by misogynists who blame women and feminism for all of men’s woes. Let’s be clear: Feminism isn’t to blame for this issue. In fact, it may be part of the solution.

Heh. Comments are open. Time to educate some feminists.

I read this article with hope (I know... I'm an optimist who never learns his goddamn lesson). But the article really boils down to this:

tl;dr - men commit suicide at epidemic levels, and it's noone's fault but their own.

One wonders if Leah Eichler's next articles will be headlined "Black men disproportionately killed by police: their own damn fault" or "Gender earnings gap still exists, and you're to blame, ladies" or "Gays face discrimination in many parts of the country/world... sucks to be you, queers!" ... I doubt it
