Original Article 

Research into the effects of divorce on men's health is fairly scant. What evidence exists reveals that men find divorce more emotionally problematic than women. Suicide rates, for example, are up to six times higher in men who are separated or divorced compared with those who are still in a relationship.

Men appear much less emotionally prepared for separation. In large part this may be due to the fact that most break-ups are started by women. During the emotional upheaval that often follows, men are fairly poor at expressing a range of emotions, which may appear to reveal them as angry and/or indifferent. Men also react differently to women when they aredepressed so their real emotional state may not be clear.

Just under half of all first marriages end in divorce. Where children are involved the emotional strain can be much harder on men. In most cases of divorce or separation small children stay with their mothers. To date, nearly all research into so-called single-parent families is focused on single-mother families.

With relatively few exceptions men who bring up their own children are pretty much ignored. Men who are not in this position and who wish to retain a strong emotional bond with their children face many barriers. The rate of divorce coupled with the few known effects on men's health points to an urgent need for greater understanding about how divorce and separation affects men's health.

Sneak A Peek

Men’s Rights – Perspiration or Inspiration?

As I think about the today's theme - it reminds me of Thomas Edison, the man who invented the electric bulb. He had made a famous statement "Things are 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration"

Same applies to men's rights movement as well. It is a matter of constant awareness campaign and hitting at our opponents and proponents of male abuse. Contrary to popular belief, it is 3 times easier to abuse a male than a female because males have no support structure and male abuse is accepted by the society as social service.

Follow Yourself; Not Tradition

As I have repeatedly mentioned in my articles that cultures have deceived men, acting as vultures. Men have been used as the FREE ATM MACHINE, the UNPAID BODYGUARD, the de-facto PROTECTOR and PROVIDER, etc. by cultures and in the process have been reduced to disposable entities. Their abuse is considered a social service now.

And men, the way they are, are in a great way responsible for this. They rarely challenge or question conventions, traditions, histrionics and stereotypes thrust upon them. They do not feel the need to fight for their rights - only a handful of them are doing though scores are getting victimized. They do not demand for their space in the society and accept things as offered to them.

To this effect, today I take the example of Skandagupta - the great emperor of India. His stepmother has him sent to Ujjain so that her son can be made the emperor. He obeys her. But then the Huns attack India under the leadership of Attila the Hun. The army of Skandagupta calls him back as they needed his expertise.
