[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 372722, member: 23"] The woman in the video who says "I like that terror. I like that. I think that men should be frightened" and "I think we're victims, Amy" is now at the centre of a controversy. A male journalist is being cancelled for saying that he [URL='https://metro.co.uk/2023/09/27/laurence-fox-gb-news-dan-wootton-ava-evans-incel-19563160/']wouldn't want to go to bed with her[/URL] (the article seriously lacks journalistic objectivity, by the way, with the word "vile" used ad nauseam and - as I've just noticed - the term "Incel" appearing in the URL). His words were harsh and I don't feel they were appropriate. This is a shame, because it's now become all about what [U][I]he[/I][/U] said (and to a lesser extent the reactions of the male host of the show, who has now made a career-saving apology for smiling politely as he listened). What's got lost in the mix is that his rant came from a discussion about an earlier debate regarding a proposed Minister For Men where she'd repeatedly dismissed eloquent, statistic-based comments from comedian Geoff Norcott, who's written a lighthearted book about male idiosyncrasies which touches on some current concerns faced by men, particularly around mental and physical health. The debate from a couple of days ago can be seen here (beginning at 36:55): [CENTER] [MEDIA=youtube]bTHEznqYSMQ:2215[/MEDIA][/CENTER] A couple of her responses to concerns facing many men... On suicide being the biggest killer of men under 50: On men having a higher death rate during the Covid pandemic: Meanwhile the other woman on the panel has her [I]own[/I] solution to male suicide and isolation: The sickening irony of that last sentence is completely lost on her. I really feel for the men on the panel. They repeatedly acknowledge their support for those concerns faced by women while valiantly (and vainly) trying to spend a couple of minutes on the topic of [U][I]this[/I][/U] discussion. Ultimately it ends up reinforcing just why so many men end up silenced when it comes to their own physical and mental health needs. [/QUOTE]
