My city already tried to address having a mental health facility designed specifically for men and it got shutdown 3 years later because of low attendance. It got restructed back up as a regular mental health facility with 95% of their patients being females. The rough part is men are just less likely to seek out help vs women and we need to bring more awareness that seeking help doesn't make a person weaker or less of a man.
thats only part of the problem

its not just that men are less likely to seek help
its also that society at large has a habit of treating men like shit when they do seek help...ESPECIALLY underprivileged men

in a lot of cases its the latter that causes the former, men see how other men are treated and stay silent
and NO its not all some code of "toxic masculinity" theyre striving to adhere to until it kills them, thats a cop out
its the widespread dumbass mentality that men are the disposable sex, which is condoned by both portions of men AND women
whats killing todays men is so much more than what can be summed up in some stupid buzz term

but if you need a word I got a more accurate one: negligence towards male problems that are hurting boys and men exclusively and the common presumption that they're too privileged to have anything justifiably worth crying about

and statistically women are more likely to attempt suicide, men are just more likely to use methods that are absolute
too bad there's dramatically less male-specific support institutions, partly because they keep getting shut down due to radfems protesting

i say this as a fuckin intersectional feminist whos sick of seeing the selective hypocrisy of members in my own party
and it pains me to admit that feminism CAN'T solve this one, it's actually contributing to it when applied poorly to cater to idiot far leftists
ffs the lady, Erin Pizzey, who opened the first safehouses for female DV victims had asshole radfems bangin on her door for tryin to help male victims too
shes the kind of feminist i looked up to, because she understood that being a victim is not exclusive to one sex, shes the real deal and they couldn't handle that
