Do you date a man? Or have a brother, father, male cousin, male coworkers, or any man in your life that you care about? Are there any men that you would be sad about if they became depressed and took their own life? Not sure how this is a man's versus women's issue, but feel free to enlighten me!

So when i say a womans issue l mean they are the group largely advocating for social change, research and putting in the meaningful work to do so. Men contribute to the fucked up system and women have been forced for centuries to put up with the poor mental health of men. We are now in a day and age where we have widely known information that can be used to help men and improve their emotional health, but without other men advocating and modeling said behavior it’s not going to help.

I’m not a damn extremist most people aren’t. Coming at people like that is rude before asking any clarifying questions. Hope this helps you have a wonderful day

Let's hope a suicidal man doesn't see your post because it'd probably be his 13th reason why

I hope not that would be extremely unfortunate. I’m sorry we couldn’t come to a more understanding point, I hope you have a wonderful life and good luck this semester :)

Some people assume they don’t have to do anything. And it’s sad how they expect that you asking women how they’re helping men during their mental health month is wrong. But if we had women’s mental health, they would expect men to be bowing to their wills. Women should support men during this month and all other months.

Check in with the men in your life. Offer them support. Take notice of their emotions. Give them kindness and tell them that you’re here to support them. It’s their mental health month so take them for something. Ask to hang out with them.

That’s…girl that ain’t right

May just passed, that was women’s health and mental health month, what did men do to help support and promote that message? Did you even know? No one was exactly suggesting it was wrong of them to promote men’s mental health but this is a very complex subject for many women affected by the persistent lack of emotional intelligence. we as a society need to collectively fix what we indulge and our unhealthy views on gender need to be addressed. Men need to support other men, enough women do.

No one should be bowing their heads at all, we all should be creating more access to resources and pushing mental health information to get it to those who need it.

Promote openness and show men in your life how to communicate their feelings effectively if they’re receptive (don’t waste your time on a man who won’t learn). Help them learn what men in their life have told them “wasn’t manly” is normal, human, and accepted among people. I just think they want to be more comfortable sharing feeling and getting help, they need it just as much as women.

It was a joint mental health month. Not specifically women’s. And guess what, I did support it because it’s important. And you’re literally upset about a post asking women what they’re doing for men’s mental health month during the month it is honored. It’s sad to see people get so defensive over something like this.

It’s really sad to see honestly

Why if it’s a joint month do they need their own and women don’t get one? Here’s what I’ll say, you clearly refuse to believe people can have complex views on a subject. You are extremely passionate about men’s mental health and should look into a similar field, it’s wonderful what you want to push, I think you need a bit more understanding toward others feelings to push the message well if not, you’re gonna contribute to a more negative viewpoint on men’s mental health awareness.

This is not how you push a positive message

I have literally told you to reach out to the men in your life because men have much bigger struggles and have a bigger suicide rate because of how society treats their mental health, and you’re asking why women don’t get their own one? Make one. Go and petition to get it certified. Or, do it during mental health awareness and honor the men that have struggled more and die more because of how it’s ignored for them.

Definitely! But it is also so good to have an extra mental health month for men when they have a higher suicide rate and have society against them when it comes to their mental health, including many other men. So glad they get to have a dedicated month for those who have lost their fight with mental health and to support the men who are otherwise ignored or dismissed by society

got it! i try to do that already, but i’ll definitely start being more intentional about it now

Men have larger rates of suicide because they typically choose the more lethal and messier ways of committing, women have high rates of attempted suicide, do proper research. And we had one until you decided to take May and June. Also we all struggle comparing issues is wild in 2026 thought you’d know better. Sounds like you want people to care about men’s mental health cause it makes it feel like you’re cared about, let me help you if people only care once a year they don’t care.

that’s true! i’ll definitely do that since i’ve seen firsthand what it looks like when they adopt a “masculine” way of responding to certain things. and many times it actually just ends in violence/self destruction, so this is important to note

^^^ this!! i also think suicide rates shouldn’t be a competition or something used to prove a point about who has it worse. and yeah knowing the details about it puts it into context (as to why men have higher successful suicide rates)

Yes! I believe men’s mental health should address large issues in their community such as difficulties communicating, emotional regulation, substance abuse and more. A lot of Women need this just as much for the record. comparing such things is gross to me and inconsiderate of everyone’s issues. Someone losing their mom and someone getting cancer would not be compared, don’t compare mental health, we are all struggling, life is mean (not saying you but yk)

It’s more of society against men with mental health issues. So often they’re told to man up, or like in your post, blame is put on them.

People like you are the reason there is a divide between men’s and women’s mental health. Women expect to be heavily supported but then when a woman tells you to support men who don’t get supported, you try and just say ‘oh it’s online, grow up, handle it yourself’
