'Cowboy mentality' blamed for country's worsening suicide rate among men
2023-08-16
Name calling won't solve it.
[FoxNews] Surgeon General Dr Vivek Murthy previously warned about 'epidemic of loneliness’.

A "cowboy mentality" of wanting to "man up" could be a factor in the epidemic of male loneliness, a New York University professor implied on Sunday.
Covid lockdown: Men and children hardest hit.
Professor Niobe Way spoke with the Washington Post in a story about the rise in an "alternative conception of American masculinity" to combat the lack of connection between men. When tackling the "epidemic of loneliness" plaguing the nation, Way suggested that it comes from the overly masculine way boys are raised.

"Niobe Way, a professor of developmental psychology at New York University and the author of ‘Deep Secrets: Boys’ Friendships and the Crisis of Connection,’ said many boys are raised with what she called ‘the cowboy mentality' – 'I can do it myself, I don’t need others’ – often perpetuated by ‘the father wanting the son to man up and not be so soft. … The whole model of getting help is part of so-called femininity,’" the article reads.
So the real problem is toxic masculinity, professor?

#12  Like this bint who wrote this. Not third or fourth wave feminism, not LA Woman in media culture, not hate men on every single television channel.

Its his fault.

#6  I would recommend listening to all od Oliver Anthonys songs and that might give some of these idiots a clue as to why the suicide rate is so high.

#4  Great, another NYU femtard spewing about male toxicity. Nothing she spit out was original yet it's still news for some reason.

#3  Oh, and join the Army. Be with other men, bond with them like brothers, then wonder why the number for these men is 22 a day...
