For every female suicide in Ireland, there are five male suicides.
This book is based on fieldwork done in and around Cork, Ireland
between 2008 and 2012 among some forty young lads, aged 18-34. This
anthropological approach aims to help explain why some groups in a
specific society or community are more prone to commit suicide than
others. In addition to suicide, this book focuses extensively on
related issues such as alcohol, drug abuse, and other
self-destructive behaviors prominent within Irish lad culture. This
includes peer pressures and loyalties, chauvinistic jargon,
homophobic bullying, humor, and the culture of mocking so as to
grasp the cultural expectations of this particular form of
masculinity. The everyday workings of gender segregation and
gender-appropriateness is examined in detail by informants while
addressing the underlying question whether increased gender
equality-which includes men-could lessen young men's vulnerability
to self-destructive behaviors and suicide in Ireland.
