i mean, what does "the pathology of male privilege" even mean?
Essentially "big words, I don't understand." We've had this discussion before, but a simple google search "pathology definition" would really help. The definition, in a medical sense, is "pathological features considered collectively;
the typical behavior of a disease." I belabor this point, but a google search is very helpful to most of life's questions.
Also, it's not "a 140 character tweet". It's four. That's almost 600 characters there.
My point still stands that the 140 character limit is not conducive to citing every portion of your work. Even with 4 tweets. But, you want a citation, how about
the APAWhat? It looks like it fits in with the rest of the stuff here. Even if that dude is related to the GG debacle he is using the same justifications as the SJWs are. "Privileged people can never be 'victims' and don't deserve help."
"Men do face real issues but most stem from patriarchy and the pathology of male privilege."
It is disingenuous for you to characterize it as "privileged people can never be victims and therefore don't deserve help." What he is saying is in our culture of masculinity men are less likely to reach out for help, socially or psychologically, for fear of being seen as weak, and therefore men do not seek out help (which last I checked is supported by studies). This is a direct way that patriarchy actively causes male problems. A lot of other male problems as well; for example women winning custody more often is a direct result of a patriarchal society which sees women as more qualified to nurture, and men as the bread-winners who pay child support.
^ I actually agree with you here. If more men are dying of suicide, then suicide is killing men more. Let's stop comparing levels of oppression and just try to fix the problem.
This isn't comparing a level of oppression. What he is trying to say is that focusing solely on males committing more suicides ignores that this is due to men being less likely to seek out mental help. It seems a tad counterproductive to the ends of reducing male suicide to ignore social factors like this that directly contribute. More so to the point, it seems like one of the best ways to deal with the issue of male suicides is to focus on this aspect of patriarchy: all the male suicide PSA's in the world will do nothing if men are still afraid to seek mental help when necessary due to some silly notion of masculinity.
Though let's be honest, the only reason McIntosh was repeatedly mentioned is because he is a for of Ultie 's pet cause, it that shall not be named outside f&b.
Okay? So? Divorced from the author, do you believe the content does or does not belong here?
Speaking for myself, I know sweet fuck all about the author but my initial thought when I read that was "FuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYou
FuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYouFuckYou."
Hmm. 1,800th post.
How very mature: disregard the sociological point he is making regarding patriarchy contributing to male problems so that you may intentionally misinterpret his point as misandrist because he thinks your men's day is silly. I think it's silly also. Big whoop.
