Middle-aged male suicide rate rises by 40 per cent since 2008. A new report by the Equality and Human Rights Commission suggests that unemployment, financial problems and unattainable masculine ideals may be responsible for the increase

What it says: "society is fucking men in the ass, and they see no reason to live"

What feminists hear: "Toxic masculinity whiny manchildren"

"financial problems"

You mean getting taken to the cleaners in so-called "family" court, right? Why not just say that. Divorced men kill themselves at 10 times the rate of divorced women. Maybe someone should look into this.

And there's no support there if you need it. My best friend and I live together and our house is known among our friends as a male only safe space. We've had two friends stay with us for about six months at a time after being divorced from their wives. They said the space saved their lives cause they didn't feel isolated, they didn't have to go home to an empty house and stew about how shit their life was at the moment.

We spent a lot of time cooking, playing vids, drinking, shooting and fishing.

They have seen their jobs, relationships and identities blown apart, and these challenges are exacerbated when men occupy low socio-economic positions.

So toxic masculinity is the failure to be emotionally resilient in the face of extreme bias during spousal and child separation.

I think the real issue is, how do the deaths of these men affect women and girls?

Feminism has a body count.

But the UK doesn't need to have a parliamentary debate on mens' issues or anything, even though British men are killing themselves in droves.

I didn't find that study, but was curious what the woman's rate did during that time period. I did come across a report from Samaritans that shows overall (all ages) men's rates basically flat, but women's rates cutting in half from '83 to '13. Also, for Northern Ireland women's rates were flat while men's rates (again overall) doubled. I found not a single group/region where the gap between men and women narrowed.

What that really means is the downfall of monogamy, the stable family structure and men being pretty much at the bottom of the employees list since the feminization of the work place. Once a man has nothing to work for, other than perhaps alimony for someone that screwed you over, they lose motivation to live.

Another pile of SHIT MSM that doesn't address the REAL issues and mislead people into thinking about the topic wrong thus making the problem even WORSE. Even if men do work hard, go to college and try to get a good paying job, there's a good chance that a less qualified woman is going to get the job you apply for because of Affirmative Action.

There's NO future with women and/or having a family. Women today are nothing more than just another dude competing against you and is going to back stab you and dump you for the next guy with more funds and a bigger house the second the chance comes up and devastate you. No hope and no future or reasonable expectation of ever having a family that's going to last any more than a handful of years.

Even dating is becoming out of the question because of the epidemic of false accusations of rape. And then you're always, always treated like a potential rapist and child molester everywhere you go by women. That gets really, REALLY old and it's clear that women fucking HATE men.

The only way to survive this piece of shit, child support/welfare/ single mother whore/ false accusation of rape mentally retarded, police state/ psychopathic, bizarre, bankrupt, entitled Feminist shit hole laughingly called a 'society' is to COMPLETELY cut women out of your life altogether, concentrate on career and/or a craft and/or business and if you can, start your own business and throw yourself completely into it. And forget all of the rest.

Recently, the Samaritans published a study revealing that middle-aged men of Britain currently feel like they don't belong; torn between two different masculine stereotypes. Their fathers are stoic, living by the classic 'stiff upper lip' ideology and their sons are emotional and encouraged to share any uncertainties and weaknesses.

When we started feeding Free to be You and Me propaganda to Generation X boys back in the 1970's, we were pretty sure that by the year 2000, men would be like women and our work would be done. But it now looks like our social engineering project is going to take two generations. There are some very promising results among the current generation of boys who've been brought up on single mother households, all-female teaching staffs, and you-go-girl TV, and therefore have no damaging masculine influence. So we'll definitely be able to announce success by say 2030-2040 when Gen-X starts dying out. But, yeah, it looks like we're going to have to write off Gen-X men. They just got stuck in the middle - the feminist education we gave them was too little too late, they still wanted to have lives of privilege and comfort like their fathers, and they weren't able to cope with being househusbands to strong independent women.

"Generation Stuck between two stereotypes" is an extraordinarily lazy and ideological caricature of masculinity, and it's disappointing to see that feminists have evidently become influential at the Samaritans, whose strength used to be that they didn't have a theory to fit their callers into or a grand social engineering solution for their problems.
