    Well why would you when you're not the target of it.

    Despite what some* will have you believe you don't often find yourself on the receiving end of such things if you're a hetrosexual white male. Which is kinda the point.





    *Usually other hetrosexual white males who think that others having equal rights as them somehow makes them victims.

    The Centers for Disease Control recorded 47,173 suicides in 2017, and there were an estimated 1.4 million total attempts. Many of society’s plagues strike heavier at women and minorities, but suicide in America is dominated by white men, who account for 70 percent of all cases.

    So why aren't we getting the full story behind the epidemic of suicides? There are a number of factors, chief among them is the fact that reporting the truth about who's committing suicide would require acknowledging that the contemporary narrativein which men in general and white men in particular are a universally privileged class and have no legitimate problems—is false.
