Men, we can't live with them, and we apparently can't live without them, and the current narrative online is pretty negative, and for good reason.
However, tonight a man tried or even did take his life in the park where my kids play. Right across the road from my house. This changes nothing about what men do. But, as I sat there on my porch watching emergency services do their thing, I thought about that man and how dark that space feels. And it prompts me to ask, if we have a problem, even though I know we are all angry, what do we do? What do we do about men, and the problem of male violence and suicide? How do we help? We don't know either but we believe the best way to find solutions is to talk about them. Understanding is the key to anything.
