Down-voted for stating fully verifiable facts?
- Dylan16807 11y agoI'm sure it's for the words "deck is stacked against them" and the snark about the problems women face, not the list of facts. A big list of pros without cons, or cons without pros, says nothing about overall ranking. Overall ranking is a terrible way to think about things, anyway. Problems don't get fixed because other people have different problems.
- jazzyk 11y agoI listed "cons" because they almost certainly affect the high rate of suicides among men - the very topic of this thread. The statistics listed support the "deck is stacked..." statement. It is hard not to be frustrated by the media narrative focusing on women's issues, mostly ignoring men's.
- psychometry 11y agoI downvoted you for parroting a bunch of unrelated "red pill" nonsense in order to advance an insolent, regressive agenda instead of providing a meaningful commentary on the article or the other comments here.
- zaccus 11y agoUh, what part of that comment is unrelated nonsense? Seemed pretty related and sensical to me.
- DanBC 11y agoIt's a bunch of random MRA stuff dumped into a thread. How is male circumcision linked to suicide? How is workplace death linked to suicide?
- zaccus 11y agoHe didn't say any of those things are related to suicide, they're just examples of gender disparity. I don't know much about MRA or red pill, but my guess is that you're committing an association fallacy here.
- DanBC 11y ago> He didn't say any of those things are related to suicide Which is why he got downvoted. They're mostly not relevant to suicide[1]. It's just a dump of MRA bullshit with no relevance to the thread. [1] but if you can show reputable sites that make links I'd be interested to see them. (And I'm not saying they're all irrelevant.)
- gammagoblin 11y agoShut the fuck up, you stupid moron. They're statistics, not "MRA bullshit". Do they show any correlation with suicide at all? No. Are they implicitly MRA statistics because they highlight disparity between genders specifically for men? No. Does highlighting the difficulties one gender faces neglect another gender's difficulties? No. So, please shut the fuck up. You are doing absolutely fuck all to help ANY gender. Your polarised views and divisive attitude is only making it far, far worse.
- jazzyk 11y agoWorkplace accidents are caused by working in close proximity to heavy equipment and industrial machines. Do you not think that working in dangerous and/or unhealthy jobs (or being stationed in Afghanistan) affects your happiness? (There are numerous studies about post-traumatic syndrome for veterans) While circumcision does not affect happiness, the contrast between men (OK to mutilate men without consent) and women, shows media/cultural bias (supports the wider point of deck being stacked against men)
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoWhat in the world is "red pill" about anything they wrote? Does "red pill" now stand for any case of trying to say men have it worse in some area? Unless they edited and took some stuff out, I'm not seeing anything related to that topic.
- roflchoppa 11y agoFunny, when i started reading this I was thinking that most of these dudes whom killed themselves had adverse relations with their partners. Then my boy called me about an argument he had with his wife, about her instigating him with, "why are you mad all the time". funny.
