To Divis' original question, yes, statistics in NZ are in line with Britain, Europe, and the US.

As an opinion and an observation, men, particularly young men, are much less resilient than women emotionally. I was, and am.
It is just as well, because if men had to bear children, there wouldn't be many people.

I haven't disagreed with anything above, and the points made about male suicide giving virtually no chance of survival or second thoughts is well taken. Also, the point about lack of heroes in the modern world rings true for me. Who can you openly admire without argument?
