When will people who "care" start discussing the high suicide rates among men ,as more than a talking point against feminism?
Discussing it like an issue that needs be solved , not just to dismiss someone else's interest area.

The paradox is that feminism advocates for mental health for men and tries to bring awareness to issues such as sexual assaults ,domestic abuse ,mental health etc affecting men as well as females since it is traditionally not associated with 'masculinity' to be vulnerable and human ig

That would be nice. There are a lot of issues that are discussed only a means of scoring points against political enemies. Solving the issue seems to be secondary.
It's not an easy issue to solve, so I get that some people think it ends at pointing out the issue exists (and honestly, even that is needed).

B-butt... It's our fault for being strong and independent. We hate men, you must know. How often have I heard that feminists didn't speak out loud about this or that. I've explained to them, or rather made attempts to explain that one cause isn't at the price of another issue, as long as they aren't opposite to each other, that I can sympathize, and support other issues.

I understand the importance of male suicide rates and I do see feminism as having an impact. The most notable impact is that feminism HELPS relieve some of the pressures men face as part of trying to live up to traditional gender roles.
Men should be the primary breadwinners.
Men should be strong enough to protect the family.
Men should be in charge of finances and discipline in the home.
Living up to those pressures and expectations are what lead to high suicide rates among men.
Feminism empowers women. And that empowerment helps take performance pressure off of men. It's not all on us anymore. Feminism is good for men.

I have seen these arguments play out in north african sphere for while now..and they don't exactly lack a platform in comparison with feminists but there is this constant fear of things changing.
Not to minimize white men struggles but it won't be solved without them advocating for their own, like the rest of us have to..by focusing on solving problems instead of asking other people to stop fighting for their own rights so we can all suffer together.
This idea of giving up because others also have it bad is so pessimistic, which is ultimately what they seek by forming passive stances. Misery does really love company.
