Every male suicide I've been unfortunate enough to experience (no, not directly - I'm still alive) has been to do with women. That's almost certainly the main reason men kill themselves. Not to blame women, it's just something men care about a lot. So it's really not a controversial statement.

Fair but it sounds like this guy is not nearly so reasonable as that as he is blaming

women’s increased participation in the workforce

I see. In that case, I don't believe it's causal, but another symptom of the same illness.

The politician also states that it is due to becoming a female dominant society. Your statement still stands that inter gender relations are a factor in male suicides, but man, it's crazy that they've just taken a few steps towards gender equality and are already crying for help.

“When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

Yeah it isn't necessarily the women's fault. It's just that the human mind is complicated and men are dumb.
