The Backlash! - Men...Suicide...the Tragedy

I have often felt like a horrible, unattractive man who serves no useful purpose and might as well be dead.

EDIT: Don't worry. This has now changed, but for most of my life I think this was my predominant feeling.

From the article:

There are no widely advertised government sponsored support groups for men in emotional pain.

Now there's an idea!

[ "My brother was depressed, he was on medication, and he was drinking a lot. He had been threatening suicide, so it wasn't a surprise when it happened." ]

This is a very circular way of describing the situation. Depression is just another word for unhappiness - which is a redundant observation in a suicide. Medication and threatening suicide, are just part of the depression so again a redundant observation.

Women bully men. They do it as kids, they do it as adults. That we don't know why this occurs doesn't matter, this bullying is by far the most likely cause of male suicide.
