      They talk about a few causes, but this is the gist of it for anyone who doesn’t want to click:

      Researchers cited the pandemic as the biggest factor in the widening gender gap; it took a heavier toll on men. Unintentional injuries and poisonings (mostly drug overdoses), accidents and suicide were other contributors.

        That’s because in addition to the disinformation, many men also have to do the macho thing: https://youtu.be/1chYhsp3NRw

          I forgot that suicide was super macho.

      Yes, but what about those women who have to lose their husbands and sons? They are the real victims.

        You’re not wrong that they matter too, but both things can be bad

          I don’t know how many people have noticed, but I was being sarcastic.
