Men have no more economic and social pressures than women do these days, and yes, perhaps there are fewer agencies to promote charities and awareness for men, but that's because women have set up these charities themselves. If more men got together to set up charities and awareness groups perhaps the death figure wouldn't be so high and I wouldn't feel like I should be apologising to you because more women live than die.

I didnt ask you for an apology, a bit of empathy and understanding would of course be expected of any decent human being. men have more economic pressures than women still. Its factual and cultural. men lose their homes in over 80% of seperations, men work longer hours and for more years than women. but women have a greater spending power due to the culture of men handing much of their wages to their wives. men also lose the majority of divorce cases and therefore lose custody of their children and their home, yet have to pay the mother of their children payments who then go on to new partners and have 2 incomes. culturally men are still expected to work, they do not have the option women have of having muliple children and living off benefits.
men of course die younger and work longer several years younger than women on every nation on earth and commit suicide at 4 times the rate of women. the actual support organizations for women outnumber mens by over 50 to 1. the difference in support is staggering. virtually every news report is followed by its effect on women. barely a mention of men. men are more and more powerless yet have to work longer than ever. they have less support than ever. this is not just charities this is government money thats paying for the imbalance of support agencies for women over men. this disparity needs to be addressed.
even with abortion 1 million aborted babies in the UK every 6 years one of the highest rates in the world) mothers have enormous support, yet those million men who have had their children aborted without them having any input in the matter at all, are offered no counselling whatsoever. or take male soldiers at war for years on the front line fighting suicide bombers, terrorists in the desert and whats their reward? they get come and there are no military hospitals left? so they end up in the same hospitals as everyone else?
america has over 1000 hospitals for the army/navy etc
meanwhile the nhs provides free boobs for page 3 strippers who claim without them theyll be depressed.
Uk is a womans world and nobody cares
