I think a big obstacle to taking men's sufferng seriously is that many men find it emasculating to be viewed as vulnerable.
When my husband worries about my safety, I feel loved and protected.
But when I worry about my husband's safety, he gets irritated and thinks I don't respect him (which is wildly untrue - I just know I have no interest in living without him, so I tend to care about his physical wellbeing).
Men need to be encouraged to express their suffering and vulnerability, not ridiculed for it.
That woman who made light of the suicide of Richard Bilkszto is depraved. Hers was a vicious sociopathic response to a horrible tragedy and she is harming all of humanity (including the female half) by her cruelty.
Thank You for writing about this extremely serious issue.
