[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 372903, member: 23"] Yes. In the case of the exchange in that video, the immediate counter that "women were unsuccessful" alludes to victimhood and oppression: as if the biggest tragedy is the poor women instead of the men who've ended their lives. The reporting on this story continues to frame it as misogyny (as of this morning, reactions to Laurence Fox's "wouldn't shag her" comment are the #1 most-read story on [url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news]BBC News[/url].) However, not one article I've read on any news outlet has given the context of the Politics Live show where she stamped all over the very idea that men have a right to a voice or support. If genders were reversed and two men had tried to make a discussion of challenges faced by women all about themselves the conversation wouldn't have been forgotten so quickly. I'm repeating myself here, but it's incredibly frustrating that Fox couldn't air his anger more appropriately, because how she's being reported to be the victim. Shocking. Some very telling comments. Like the woman who projected that "so-called men's rights groups" are hate-groups. Oh, and... "We're not super-interested in talking to you, first of all, but basically we're here to shut down an event." And smiling through it. There's no attempt to conceal the enjoyment of the ugly stuff being said. All in the name of combatting hate speech. [/QUOTE]
