A Conversation With Dr. Warren Farrell: Why Are Men Killing Themselves?

IDLM is in transit this week and will return Monday with our usual schedule. In the meantime we take a look back at one of our The Full Count podcast episodes from 2018. 

The recent suicides by prominent men begs the question why men and boys are four times more likely than women to kill themselves.  Here. Here. Here. Here. Overall, approximately 30,000 people commit suicide each year in the U.S. and 80 percent are men. With the advent of legal MAID the numbers are likely to grow exponentially.

Dr. Warren Farrell says in The Boy Crisis that there’s a crisis for men in society that’s being ignored. Feminism's gains don't have to be a loss for men. Farrell is an American educator, activist and author. His latest book, The Boy Crisis, cowritten with John Gray, is an eye-opening examination of what has happened to males in the era of ascendant feminism.

He joined us on my podcast The Full Count in June 2018. We think it holds up well today.
