About 49,500 people took their own lives last year in the U.S., the highest number ever, according to new government data posted Thursday.

    What I do is speak with troubled anti-women men online to help them understand it’s not us vs them, it’s all of us vs the system.

    Don’t gatekeep assistance by setting an arbitrary bar. It’s unhelpful.

      And what I do is speak with anti-women men online without trying to convert them to an ideology which is based around helping women.

      Don’t gatekeep assistance by setting an arbitrary bar. It’s unhelpful.

      fuck off? like do you understand how incoherent you are here? no, how could you, your entire ideology is based on the incoherent contradiction of feminism-for-women and feminism-for-everyone.

      This is weak.

        You claim to want to help men but you insult weakness and drag down people trying to help? I’m sorry, but this undermines everything you’re trying to say. At this point I can’t even be sure you’re not simply a misogynist troll play acting as a leftist.

        If you truly care about helping people, consider that attacking other people trying to help is counterproductive. Also consider that your approach is clearly combative, and that anger is something you need to address.

        I’m not blocking you because I don’t know if you’ll see this if I do. But if you reply, I’ll know you have.

          You need to accept the discomfort of disagreement or you don’t have my respect. This isn’t just weak shit, it’s repugnant: stop trying to police tone. I’m not a misogynist troll just because your feelings got hurt or whatever it is you’re trying to cover up.

          Weakness doesn’t stop existing just because you’ve read enough theory.

          Also consider that your approach is clearly combative, and that anger is something you need to address.

          Don’t delegitimize anger, that’s basically why you’re failing here and generally. No shit it’s combative. So what?

          Just because you’re trying to help doesn’t mean you’re good at helping. You feel motivated to block me, that’s another man for the trash can who thought his feminist credentials would, by themselves, prevent his opinions from being critiqued.
