Joyless feminism

The bit about the men's officer at the uni is pretty shocking. The data about suicide for males at uni even more.


from article:
"James Knight was the only candidate to put his name forward to be men's officer at the University of the West of England, and said he wanted to highlight male mental health issues.

However, the National Union of Students officers began a campaign against the role, and he pulled out after claiming he harassed.

In the past five years, more than twice as many male university students committed suicide than their female peers, despite there being fewer male students"

Statistically men are far more likely to commit suicide than women (four times more likely) so, not to be cold about it, i'm surprised personally that the ratio isn't more skewed.

More women attempt suicide, men are just better at actually doing it.

So just like most things then!

Fair play to her, this is a worthy cause to fight for sure.

"Of course, Liz. But I have some requirements... ▪️I must have full editorial control. ▪️I do not wish to interact with any males. ▪️You must allow me at least 10 minutes to perform my groundbreaking intersectional feminist slam poetry. If you can do this, we’ll talk terms..."

So she's sexist as well as her other faults. I'm sure she'd be scathing about any man not wanting to interact with any females.

You are aware that's a parody account, right?

It's satire. Speaks volumes that so many believe it however.

Pleased to hear it- I've met too many of the genuine variety to be sure any more.

[turbobloke]

It's awesome.

I think the author needs serious help. Can you imagine if she were called to serve on a a jury? XY chromosome = guilty.

Indeed, beyond parody is so effective in this context.

Baffling why they think a mediocre actress and frequent clothes horse, who's never had a proper job in her entire life, is in any way qualified to speak on either workplace or women's issues

It's like being told about the environment by Emma "Jet Set" Thompson.

Just so we're clear, offering to help a woman with a heavy suitcase is a symbol of patriarchy. Also, not helping a woman with a heavy suitcase would be a symbol of patriarchy.
