Google seems to show that the original article from the NY Times did not focus on men, or mention them specifically at all. The original headline was "Middle-Age Suicide Rates Skyrocket." In fact, the whole first paragraph posted on this board
Quote:

White males are committing suicide in record numbers the government has learned, and they are not sure why. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that an increase in suicides among white males has increased about 20% in the last several years and this could effect the country as a whole.

seems to be an addition by the poster. Typically the NY Times is better about proofreading their grammar, at the very least.
