You bring up suicide rates a lot. Actually though, women attempt suicide more often than men. Their method, however, usually involves not leaving a mess behind and being as peaceful as possible. That results in a higher likelihood of being found and saved or them surviving the attempt. Men on the other hand tend to choose hanging or eating a bullet.

About Ukraine ... it's a sovereign nation. Unless one is Ukrainian, one has no right or means to dictate policy for Ukrainians. I get what you're saying here as I've heard the argument, mostly from men, before. It's convenient that the existence of children seems to evaporate from the consciousness of some over this issue. That's why women have the choice, rather than the obligation during an invasion. Someone has to get the children out and set up support lines for fighters. During a conflict where you need you kids to trust and follow your lead is not the time to suddenly get interested in childcare as that's a good way to get people killed (a freaked out kid exposing your position). Perhaps if more men took interest in the day to day care of their children as a part of their daily lives, they would have the choice too.

Lastly, if you want parity in these issues as well, the answer is to get more women in position of power to make the changes. It's also always conveniently argued that feminists have a double standard because these situations where men are burdened with bias but it wasn't women who set the policy. These policies and traditions have been around for decades and centuries, set and established by men in power.

So get the power drunk men out, and bias against men will lessen and eventually disappear too.
