    I live in Australia

    The homicide rate here is 0.86 deaths per 100k people per year

    Of those, approx 66% are male.

    The suicide rate is 12.3 deaths per 100k per year.

    Of those, 75% are male.

    The statistics are similar in most Western countries.

    Pause for a second and think about the last time that you heard that mentioned either in casual conversation or in the news media.

    It is not spoken about.

      One third of family violence victims are male as well. The government’s policy is that we don’t exist.

      I feel the need to point out that this guy is basically just pointing out the specific message posted here on the image

      (When I read the images I was thinking: "things? What kind of things? Sensations? Diarrhea? The need for respect? Motherfucker just say FEELINGS)

      as a way for us to call attention to it and reflect on it instead of the misrepresentation of an slight or derogatory meaning.

      Y’all need to calm the fuck down
