      Are the options 'pretend its all roses' or 'something called a 'man-culture' is turning men into emotionally-stunted, violent psychopaths?https://twitter.com/YS/status/876927872602079232 …

      Yes. Many are. What about the 5:1 (male:female) suicide rate in Ireland? Then 19:1 global homicides rate? We can't pretend it's all roses.

      Pretty much. Look at the data. 5:1, 19:1, and so on. Hardly near ideal. I don't want my boys growing up in a culture like that.

      I will affirm that those ratios are fairly constant across cultures and that their ultimate cause is biological.

      Violence is a effective reproductive strategy for men, so is risk-taking (much, much more than for women). We evolved to exploit that.

      That also explains the much higher completion rate on suicide attempts. Men's capacity for violence can be turned on themselves.

      Also the tendency to be solutions orientated rather than exploratory. This helps them overcome depression better but increases suicide.

      Interesting! I'm not familiar with that idea.

      I have to admit this is my own observation when working in psychiatric hospitals & looking at gendered stats & large numbers of patients.

      Then later reading some stuff around this but not exactly this. Men tend to try to solve their mental health problems on their own.

      Often it works when the problem is mild & the solution is ignoring it & carrying on even more vigorously rather than alcohol or drugs.

          Best thing for early depression/anxiety. Or if doesn't work, they put up with it & don't seek help until awful then seek permanent solution

          Women more likely to address problem & talk about it but sometimes this leads to wallowing in the feelings & getting overwhelmed by them.
