    “If women would just have stayed in the Kitchen, we would not need to kill ourselves!”

    The victim mentality in Korean men is astounding.

    Every male suicide I’ve been unfortunate enough to experience (no, not directly - I’m still alive) has been to do with women. That’s almost certainly the main reason men kill themselves. Not to blame women, it’s just something men care about a lot. So it’s really not a controversial statement.

      Fair but it sounds like this guy is not nearly so reasonable as that as he is blaming

      women’s increased participation in the workforce

          The politician also states that it is due to becoming a female dominant society. Your statement still stands that inter gender relations are a factor in male suicides, but man, it’s crazy that they’ve just taken a few steps towards gender equality and are already crying for help.

      Yeah it isn’t necessarily the women’s fault. It’s just that the human mind is complicated and men are dumb.

    I wish it were more surprising how much of the world still treats women like second class citizens at best.

    Oh yes it’s totally the women and not a issue with systemic ignorance of men’s mental health issues and support for men in general or if they are abused / assaulted where they’re told they should just suck it up and take it and feel lucky for being SA’d

    Fuck a system that thinks it is equal when it also systemically ignores the issues a certain group faces

    No one is equal until we are all equal and intolerance is dealt with

    Excuse the fuck out of me…?

    Male suicides towards women?

    Did anyone even bother reading the definition of the word? 🤔

      That’s “linking to” not “suiciding to”.
      So it’s “politician links (rising male suicides) to (women)”.

          Yeah, I was talking about the wording, not if the link actually makes sense even because the reason described here is absurd:

          increasingly “dominant” role of women in society.
