Alright - this one is pure conspiracy theory. I don't know how confident I am it is true but it "feels" kinda true. Lotta things in here that are gonna be a hot take. Btw - hardcore leftist and feminist here - so read it with some give.
Men are born at about 5% higher rate in the USA. This aspect isn't given any media attention because men are generally considered undesirable by both sexes. (Yes, even women don't really want men - they just need them) Men are considered disposable because they are born more often but also because they're considered not desirable. There is a mental health crisis going on with men but it's given no attention. The mass shootings, incredible amount of suicides, and various forms of violence are because no one prioritized men's health. This has an adverse effect on everyone - but silently no one cares because we've decided to be a monogamous society and if we did something about it then we'd have even more single men laying around and maybe even more violence. This violence and monogamous aspect might just be due to our cultural norms but also maybe something else. Polyamory of many men sharing one woman is relatively uncommon compared to the inverse... Thus there will likely be more single men in a non-monogamous society and even more violence. In some cases - men will likely share some women but it'll be common like other aspects of our culture where one man shares hundreds of women. The sexual conquest of men is prolific compared to women. Hard to tell what the cause is there - culture has an impact obviously but seems kinda universal.
If you look at the stats at least in the USA - at age 40 is when men have died enough to reach sex parity. And I believe it's mostly due to men committing suicide. The highest rate of men dying isn't directly from gunshot wounds to the head type suicide but due to other forms of suicide. Men take on high risk activities because A) if I don't die, I finally feel like I'm living and can forget my suffering and B) if I do die then I don't have to suffer anymore. A lot of other activities including professions can be put into this. High risk profession maybe pays well, gives a rush, and maybe I can escape my hellish life or attract a mate with my income. If it doesn't work out - well I die, big whoop. If I drive drunk and die - ain't a suicide - just another drunk driver. These types of deaths seem rampant in the military but get swept under the rug again and again. No one prioritizes it.
I think overall - there's a huge crisis going on for men's health that is being swept under the rug because people realized having significantly more men in society than women is actually detrimental to everyone. Maybe in some kind of Star Trek society where men wear dresses without judgment, aliens exist, and people don't have to work anymore then we wouldn't have this issue but that would require massive revolution or hundreds of years more progress, IMO.
