    One third of family violence victims are male as well. The government’s policy is that we don’t exist.

        I think so, yes, but that’s beyond the point. I don’t think anyone here is claiming or even implying that “Women don’t suffer from issues”, cause well, they do. The point they’re making is that it’s not talked about for men, or at the very least, not nearly as much as it should be.

        Yes women do suffer, and that should be treated respectfully and have empathy for, we just think it should be the same for men as well, cause they do suffer from a ton of mental health issues as well.

          I’m not disputing any of that, it was just a strange statistic to use for illustrating men’s mental health. There are better statistics in this post already where men are majority sufferers/victims, instead of a decisive minority.

            Rest assured, the visibility of that statistic is very much in the minority. Feel free to look up the funding ratios for domestic violence against women and domestic violence against men. One third of the support won’t even come close.
