Does our culture value the lives of men? The incarceration rate of men is outrageously out of proportion to their percent of the population. The suicide rate for boys and men of all ages is pretty consistently double that of woman and girls yet we spend a disproportionate amount of our time and resources on helping girls and woman with mental illness. The overwhelming, staggering reality is that virtually all of the homeless people in Canada are men, and we turn our backs and let them rot.
