How I Know Feminists LOVE Men

<p><em>This posting is very personal. To overcome vulnerability in order to post, it took me a few days to consider whether anyone out there could relate to, and possibly learn anything from, a story about suicide, mental health, society, ecopsychology, and roles.</em></p>

<h2>On being spontaneously vulnerable</h2>
<p>Superb writer <a href="https://medium.com/fourth-wave/yes-its-true-men-commit-suicide-more-often-but-do-you-know-why-e279e167ea78" rel="noopener">Linda Caroll</a>, wrote a wonderful article about some of the ways men and women are socialized differently in a sexist world.</p>
<p>The rigid roles men and women are programmed to, even affect death by one’s own hand. Men are more successful at suicide because they are more likely to use a gun, or violent means. They feel a need to be more forceful, more manly, more “brave.”When it comes to expressing your feelings, what is a more powerful tool than a gun, or a car?</p>
