Republican men seem massively troubled about their masculinity — and that’s literally causing death and suffering

    Masculinity above logic is NOT the move

    Be "masculine, be “feminine,” nobody gives a fuck.

    Go to a therapist if you’re struggling with your mental health.

    Stop bringing your toxic-masculinity as an excuse to buy guns and hate minorities.

      The enormous numbers of people killing themselves are not necessarily buying guns or hating minorities. And therapy can only respond to pre-exisitng problems. If there are society-wide problems creating terrible living conditions, we need a society-wide prevention scheme.

      Or you can spew vile hatred and pretend it’s because you’re against hatred.

          You’re suggesting that the cause of a wave of suicides is only a lack of therapy? There’s nothing else behind it?

              Therapy can possibly help heal. I’m more interested in reducing the conditions which make therapy necessary.

                You don’t understand. You don’t need to have a mental health condition to go to therapy. Healthy minded people benefit from therapy as well to put their emotions and thoughts into perspective.

            Increase gun ownership is likely a factor, among many other factors.

                No, but it’s causing suicide attempts turn into suicides. If you try to OD or whatever, your chances of death are much lower than if you try to see what the barrel of your gun tastes like.

          Where are you getting this 2a stuff from? How is it even related? Nobody said that guns will save the USA from suicides and overdoses. You’re talking nonsense.

          And who is “angry for no reason?” You’re the one angry at men who are killing themselves. This is super weird and cruel.

            we need a society-wide prevention scheme.

            If your “prevention scheme” is not exclusively limiting gun sales, you’ve definitely been drinking the 2a koolaid
