I agree, and there's plrnty of evidence that suggests a lot of modern day
social issues are because of the way our society is structured, and they are
mostly fixable, if there is the social and political will to do so.  Modern
society can be very alienating - we no longer have the village that nurtured us
- despite our connectivity, we are in many ways isolated in deeper ways that
affect us.

I think we have to look after emotional and mental health issues better for
both men and women, but in different ways for each.
