Rugby league players are the epitome of male toughness, but they can teach other men a lot about emotional intelligence. makesomenoise

Many men find it difficult to express themselves and display emotion, with traditional notions of masculinity telling them that hardening up and being stoic is the better bet.

But as they get older, pressure begins to build to suppress natural and raw expression in favour of toughness.“Boys are sissies if they show fear, pain or heaven forbid the most taboo expression of all — crying.” On average, men are three times more likely to die by suicide than women. Six men will take their own lives today on average —Alex Glenn and Corey Oates of the Broncos celebrate after winning the round 11 NRL match between against New Zealand Warriors.

Health system in crisis in VenezuelaIn Venezuela, the health system that was once the pride of the nation has all but collapsed amid the economic and political crisis. Socialism is great. Wow, this 'report' had more drama than a Latin American telenovela & as much crap; full of lies and intentional omissions, like the US blockade (that Australia adheres to, of course) that has prevented medicine to be imported. Besides, there are plenty of doctors. Socialism........Like a big birthday party till the grog runs out.
