    Zero purpose in society since women fill their role now

    If people being more equal than before rids you of your purpose there’s quite a problem there, there’s no reason for that.

    Don’t get me wrong, the suicides are a problem, obviously, but suicide attempts are actually multiple times more frequent among women (around 3x last I checked), so I don’t think this is a reasonable hypothesis (losing purpose because women are empowered more) as to why the suicide rates are higher.

      I don’t believe men and women have gotten more equal actually. (Not in the last few decades I mean)

      Do you think it’s possible that suicide attempts among men are not reported as often? I’ve attempted suicide twice before and never told anyone. Long time ago and I’m happy now.

        You seem to subtly direct everything at women. Men’s mental health is a problem, but we don’t need to play oppression olympics here. Let’s just keep it to the issue at hand rather than making constant comparisons.

          Well I was replying to a comment claiming that women don’t have it easier than men. Which is almost certainly false.
