It’s a lot of things in reality. Past numbers are skewed by war, but also men are bigger risk takers, less likely to seek medical care, less likely to seek mental healthcare, more likely to isolate, more likely to drink and use drugs (and when they do, a higher average amount), more likely to commit suicide, and the list goes on.
I realize this is a meme, but isn’t it mostly linked to how many men died in wars last century, which disproportionately skews the numbers?
