    Correlation does not equal causation.

    I would point to the economic disparity that is widening in virtually every advanced economy as a much more relevant driver of male suicide.

      Exactly but causation does not come without correlation. Causation is a subset of correlation.

      Economic disparity should be effecting the genders equally unless you are saying women are doing better financially.

        Maybe do some research about statistical concepts before spouting what sounds good to you. Causation can absolutely ‘come’ without correlation.

        You are a great example of someone not understanding that things are complex so you reach for tabloid explanations because they are comfortable and simple.
