Two weeks the site revealed that 24 out of every 25 people who die at work were men - and that this was unrecognised by politicians, the government, the health service, department for work, the equalities industry or the media.
The latter groups think men losing their lives at work is not as important as the number of women in boardrooms, promoting women-only training/management courses or the perpetuating the gender pay gap myth. And keeping female criminals out of prison.
Sadly, we saw this weekend that one firemen died in Manchester as did two men training to be members of the SAS.
Tonight, BBC Panorama (http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23259865) are revealing that 50 soldiers (active and veteran) killed themselves last year as opposed to 44 killed in active service.
So what is the Ministry of Justice's response - some mealy mouthed excuse that they put a mere £7 million in per year on mental health services.
Does the government's Minister for Defence say anything - nope.
Does the Minister for Health say anything - nope.
Equalities and Human Rights Commission, Government Equalities Dept etc - nope.
Of course, reverse the gender and there would be hell to pay.
The silence on men in the armed forces committing suicide is a symptom of the wider issue about men's mental health and the lack of support or recognition of the male suicide rate generally.
It also shows that the political, public sector, equalities and media elite view men as the disposable sex. Men dying at work is not an issue of relevance as they are only concerned with inequalities if it affects women.
This will also worsen as young men who are not as educated or qualified as women will be forced into risk related industries to earn decent money.
The conclusion is that in modern-day Britain, the establishment are more concerned about the number of women in Britain's boardrooms than the number of men dying at work. Men - the disposable sex.

This is why I KEEP ON SAYING....TOOLS DOWN!
Men will only keep dying this way and being treated like dirt if they keep on putting up with it.
I had a ruck with a W.I woman last week and we was talking about equality, work and such. I had the usual treatment, shaming language and false equality in the workplace statements. I pulled out a picture of an Asian woman carrying around 50 ( albeit hollow) bricks on her back working alongside Men in the sub-Asiatic heat.
I said, "when you show me western women working like these women (meaning equal to men under the SAME parameters not lowered to accommodate them), you will have my respect, until then your nothing but a lazy parasite with an encyclopaedia of excuses and a bucket full of entitlement who cherry picks the easiest way through life while expecting Men to carry the real load".
She had no reply to that and remained looking at the picture.

BarryB, why do you keep posting under a variety of pseudonyms? It's perfectly obvious which comments are yours.
