Let’s take a feminist perspective on male suicide rates: why aren’t we trying to help the 70% dying by suicide, who are men?
Suicide is violence. Using this understanding, feminists are not surprised at higher rates of male suicide, since maleviolence is at epidemic levels
Male suicide is understood as self-directed maleviolence. Working to name, and then to end maleviolence, is a key feminist aim.
Threats to harm, along with threats to self-harm, and threats of suicide, are all part of the emotional abuser’s playbook. Feminists understand the spectrum of maleviolence: from insults, to threats, to violent acts
I’m not going to participate in the nonsense that is ‘International m3ns day’, just as I would [not] participate in a ‘national white supremacy day’, or ‘homophobe day’. Oppressor classes already have all the days
High male suicide rates can be understood as the collateral damage associated with epidemic male violence. There must be an overall benefit to the oppressor class, or the end goal wouldn’t be ‘worth’ the collateral damage
So, what’s the end goal that ‘justifies’ male violence? It’s male supremacy. Dominion over the female sex class. Hierarchy within the male sex class. That’s the root cause of male violence, hence high male suicide rates
Men could reverse high male suicide rates by abandoning male violence as a tactic to enforce male supremacy. They could consciously choose to dismantle male supremacy, and abandon male violence in all its forms
As long as male supremacy is maintained and perpetuated by men, for the benefit of the male sex class, it’s hard to see how any of us could address the rates of suicide associated with maleness
It’s necessary to understand that it’s not ‘toxic masculinity’ that is used to perpetuate male supremacy. It’s masculinity
Some idiot feminist says male suicide is men’s fault for being violent.
Notice how she can’t even pretend she actually cares about male suicide.
