"In the West, suicide rates amongst men under 30 have risen by 40% since 2010. Suicide by males now accounts for as many deaths as breast cancer does for women. Did you read that? In the West, male suicide now accounts for as many deaths as breast cancer does in women, for fu#@s sake! Yet any attempt to put a spotlight on this is quashed either through callous indifference, or deliberately under the ethos of Zero-Sum Empathy. We live in a world where no one; pro-male or pro-female, is prepared to genuinely accept that the other sex has to deal with difficulties, without automatically measuring that cost up against their own suffering.

This ridiculous assumption that any assistance or funding offered to help men and boys, is assistance or funding that must be taken away from helping women and girls.

It’s as if the love we have for each other, the care available for people who are struggling in life is seen as a finite resource. It’s like both sides are trying to balance some bizarre social justice equation — like victimhood masquerading as arithmetic. It’s a fu#@ing catastrophe — just ask the mothers, the fathers, the sisters, the brothers, the boyfriends and the girlfriends of the young men that are killing themselves."
