I joined this forum a week ago and this thread might be the most stupid thing I have ever read in that week, in close contention with when I read the price Man utd put on Branthwaite

Every social and economic problem from 1945 to 1975 (I don't know why these dates matter) that is being attributed to feminism is the fault of capitalism & in particular since the mid-70s the neoliberal variation of capitalism. It makes people perceive themselves as inadquate and everyone else as competiton, it's an ideology of oppression. Nowadays it's trans people and immigrants getting blamed for everything, and apparently women going by this thread.

I've put this quote in from Albert Einstein's essay - Why Socialism? (1949) He is explaining how capitalism makes us turn on each other.

The individual has become more conscious than ever of his dependence upon society. But he does not experience this dependence as a positive asset, as an organic tie, as a protective force, but rather as a threat to his natural rights, or even to his economic existence. Moreover, his position in society is such that the egotistical drives of his make-up are constantly being accentuated, while his social drives, which are by nature weaker, progressively deteriorate. All human beings, whatever their position in society, are suffering from this process of deterioration. Unknowingly prisoners of their own egotism, they feel insecure, lonely, and deprived of the naive, simple, and unsophisticated enjoyment of life. Man can find meaning in life, short and perilous as it is, only through devoting himself to society.

I wouldn't imagine insecurity plays a lot into the scenario at hand mate.

I mean, the woman is complaining that her friends who are beautiful and successful cannot find a man. They are either transmitting negative energy or they are pain in the arses.

That in itself is an issue in our society, everyone believes they're entitled to romance based on looks/wealth/material success. We've lost our way in that respect.

Hahaha...

My take on the same video: She's only asking a question... The guy in the video sits there quietly and then at a precise moment he cuts sharply into the conversation, passive-aggressively, stating the facts as he knows them in a borderline insulting, sarcastic and condescending manor, before turning his torpedo of pent-up anger directly onto Whoopi, which felt kind of of personal to me.

Why? I never have or will ever watch The View , but I'm willing to bet the farm that Whoopi is the most outspoken feminist and woman rights advocate out of all 4 of the hosts... A powerful and successful woman, and as stated before, a a deeply insecure man would not only find her intimidating, but he'd probably belittle her as a way of reaffirming his machoism, wouldn't you agree FB92. old boy?

Male suicide statistics,

Male suicide stats are driven by social attitudes around men's mental health, toxic masculinity, an individual's medical history, socio-economic factors such as low-wages, unemployment etc. In some cases homophobia and bullying. Among other reasons.

Not by women having equal pay, the right to abortion safely, protection from sexual harassment or Liverpool Women's Hospital

It’s a wind up account. This was done in particularly bad taste seen as we have a part of the forum dedicated to mental health.

Here's one of the more common reasons:

Makes sense to have a forum for mental health if we support Everton!!

I believe his message was accurate but he could have been more eloquent in the delivery of his viewpoint.

I think that in general is a big issue. Many people have good ideas but they fail to possess the skill set to argue their point succinctly. I've always been a good orator, you need people like me in those prime time position's.
