    I feel like older men haven’t internalized positive masculinity as much as younger men, so i wouldn’t be suprised if men of a certain generation are driving down life expectancy because they self medicate at an even higher rate than women of that age group.

    Clarification: Reason I say its older men is cause I’m picturing it being life expectancy, so older men doing worse things to their body kills them earlier. Also, we still have a long way to go with men and not saying younger women and younger men will not still have a disparity on unhealthy/destructive behaviors
