It's good that they mention deaths due to domestic violence
It's good that they mention deaths due to domestic violence. The very high amount of male suicides must say something. And it's a big problem.
It says that men in our society are not given alternatives
Pressure upon men to conform to societal standards is extreme. The price to pay for deviance is also extreme.
Society says that men must succeed, endure, and overcome. This means that there is no safety net for men. If a man fails, he is simply left behind and expected to overcome the challenge on his own. Many men simply can't overcome on their own and the end result is often suicide.
