This is an article (gifted) about a community outreach worker in Wyoming trying to challenge toxic masculinity stereotypes in America.
Some key statistics from the article:
-- Across the United States, men accounted for 79 percent of suicide deaths in 2020
-- A majority of suicide deaths involve firearms
-- Women are more likely to attempt suicide; men are more likely to succeed
-- About 70 percent of all suicides in 2020 were White men, who are just 30 percent of the country’s overall population; this makes White men the highest-risk group for suicide in the country
-- 60 percent of gun owners in America are men
-- About half of all White men in the country own guns, compared to about a quarter of Black and Latino men
