This is an excellent submission. For me personally, it has been obvious for a long time that what we have been told about depression is not true. The number of men who are alcoholics and the number of men who blow their owns heads points to A LOT of depressed males.

Nevertheless, as discussed in the video, we live in a culture that focuses on women. Sometimes, to the extreme, with a straight up "women are good and oppressed; men are bad and privileged" mentality. Getting the word out on this type of information is very important for the the well-being of men and for the public discourse.

How did anyone not label that as depression? It sounds like he was just reading the list of "signs of depression." I don't understand either of those results at all.

His conclusion was wrong, though. The results he listed show not that men and women felt the female case was more distressing and deserving of sympathy as much as that men don't think other men have it as distressing and deserving of sympathy .
