Men's health, including mental health, is important. If you're worried about your health and nervous about seeing your G.P; talk to male relatives, your mates and/or anyone you're comfortable talking to.

Did you know it's currently legal to pay 18,19, and 20-year-olds less than "adults"? Why is this still a thing?
Union members are fighting to abolish junior pay rates and win equal pay for all adults.

Imagine an MP opposed to women's suffrage putting in a bill to give women the right to vote, as he thought it would fail. Only for the bill to pass in Parliament.
That actually happened in South Australia, in 1894.
Many interesting facts in the article.

Disability advocacy is not for the faint of heart.
You lose friends. People get upset that you’re not hiding your illness .
People expect things of you that you can’t give. There’s no grace when you get something wrong (which will happen).
Everyone doing this is a warrior!
