BBC-Is macho culture causing young men to take their own lives?

Unable to link article sorry.

Good or bs?

I mean the liberal nanny state has promoted a New Age Sensitive Guy culture which creates prissy little brats like myself after all

It would be good to see WHY men are reluctant to talk about their feelings especially in distress. (Especially in private. You don't need to do a Riku here.)

We have created a generation of men unfit for work, falling behind women in test scores, with the capacity to enable addictions, antisocial/irresponsible and avoidance behaviour through social media!

Macho-culture.. basically drinking culture. And a bunch of rejects on a bus or over the internet talking about rape. Is that macho culture your taking about?

Rubbish, everyone I know, myself included, can be out the door within 15 minutes. Teenagers who idolise metrosexual footballers (yes I'm judging you based on your avatar) may be different :wink:

*******s, the reason is the decimation of formerly male-only physical strength based industries (1970s) and the feminisation of secondary education (1990s). As for social media it appears to sucker women in more than men in my view.

Only thing men inflict on themselves is personal loneliness and political disunity due, in my view, mostly to outdated gender roles.

Minus misogyny plus intense competition, keeping feelings to yourself, never showing weakness or fear, fierce independence, violence to assert dominance and authority if necessary...basically strong.silenttype
