A study conducted by The Medical University of Vienna with a population of male suicide survivors found that, “some (men) reported that the adherence to masculine norms meant that sometimes the feelings associated with being vulnerable were more anxiety-provoking than the thought of being dead.” They felt that the feeling Emasculated was worse than death!

WORSE THAN DEATH.
