Hmm. Seems to me that I am saying exactly the same thing (that there are
definite links between high male suicide rates and traditional constructions
of masculinity), but explaining why I think the things I do. Scepticism is
welcome of course, but I actually have real reasons for most of the things I
say.
But you can't write a book every time you make an assertion in an email
discussion. Yes, take the complexity of human behaviour as read; it
underlies everything I say as an implicit or explicit caveat. Our brains are
complex to the point of complete mystery. Me, I'm having a shower.
All best
