Men’s health in Australia is in dire straits. On average, men in Australia die 5 years younger than women. Sadly, every day, 50 Australian men (under 75 years of age) and boys die from preventable causes.

The recent trend of men having fewer friends is very concerning. But the solution for any man is usually simple, but not always easy. Forming friendships does take work, but it's worth the investment.

This DEI-based system is a key part of the reason why family men are killing themselves in such numbers – a system designed to chew men up and spit them out. Any decent suicide prevention program would ask what can be done to protect men from this fate.
