Every male suicide I've been unfortunate enough to experience (no, not directly - I'm still alive) has been to do with women. That's almost certainly the main reason men kill themselves. Not to blame women, it's just something men care about a lot. So it's really not a controversial statement.
The politician also states that it is due to becoming a female dominant society. Your statement still stands that inter gender relations are a factor in male suicides, but man, it's crazy that they've just taken a few steps towards gender equality and are already crying for help.
