Men need to step up and talk about their problems. Talk to your friends, go to therapy
Depression is the worst sort of trap because the disease prevents you from seeking the cure. Men have fewer friends, fewer relationships, weaker social support networks, and a greater social stigma against seeking help.
Very recently I’ve read at least 2 posts on Lemmy by men who opened up about a nerdy interest and about mental illness. Both faced rather severe rejection from their peers.
A lot of this rejection of course comes from other men. But it’s not on an individual man to convince their friends not to reject them for opening up.
So if we take your declaration in that light, what it amounts to saying is that men all need to simultaneously start acting differently than we’ve always acted. But you can say that about a lot of problems in society.
“Men need to”
No.
Women need to reach out.
Screw this view that the solution must come from the victims.
What? Why women and not also other men? 🤔
Much easier for men to blame women than acknowledge that patriarchy is bad for them too
Women are not necessarily the cause of men’s issues. I don’t see how soldiers with PTSD or untreated mental issues are women’s to solve.
A lot of issues are self-inflicted, men tend to think problems go away if you ignore them, or even worse, are oblivious to the problems. Especially in relationships. Luckily talking about mental load is becoming more common, and the smarter men, who were oblivious to that issue are stepping up. Relationships take work, also for men. If us men aren’t doing our part, I can easily see why women choose to leave.
Suicide victims are also the perpetrators though
I really wouldn’t call this beautiful.
Neither would I.
Suicide attempts are higher among women, though.
Men are just more successful.
Do you have any source on this?
Globally, death by suicide occurred about 1.8 times more often among men than among women in 2008, and 1.7 times in 2015.[5][6][7] In the Western world, men die by suicide three to four times more often than do women.[5][8] This greater male frequency is increased in those over the age of 65.[9] Suicide attempts are between two and four times more frequent among women.[10][11][12]

FYI. This user is a new account spamming poor quality infographics for the last few hours.
You’re going too far with your labels on me and what I post. I’m not a damn bot! The top mods know me. It seems difficult for people to imagine that I’m just really engaged.
