Uh, what part of that comment is unrelated nonsense? Seemed pretty related and sensical to me.

It'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?

  He 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.

    > 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.)

      Shut 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.

  Workplace 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)

    > Do you not think that working in dangerous and/or unhealthy jobs (or being stationed in Afghanistan) affects your happiness? No. But if you can show a reputable site that shows a link to heavy industry and suicide I'd be interested. There's currently a link (in the UK) between construction workers and suicide, but this is thought to be linked to financial instability, not dangerousness of the workplace. That link hasn't always been there. We don't see the same correlations in other dangerous industries. We do see the same correlations in other industries that are affected by worsening economy, or that provide access to means and methods. (EG vets have access to meds, and are affected by worsening economy when farmers can't afford them).
