Women have support resources, men often have little if any.
Did the article address the tendency of men to take more risks and/or be in riskier careers?
Ya got that right. Support for men exists, but you need to hunt for it.
You can't throw a rock - at least where I live - without hitting a "Susan G Komen / Breast/Cervical/etc Cancer Survivor / Walk / 5K run / Support Group / TV Special / Promotion / Whatever" Women's group.
My former employer put an end to non-official-company-sponsored charitable promotions because every woman there had their own pet cause (that's fine) and was hitting everyone in the company up for time and money (not so fine), sometimes 2 and 3 times a week. For a time, they were more persistent than the United Way, and that's saying something.
