Where's your proof for this etymology? I think one guy once suggested that this could be where it came from but it is in no way a common or known way of using it.

That he talks about young men's mental health is a good thing, but when he adds in that "feminism" is the positive in the fight to help young men, the same movement that spends a large proportion of its time directly telling the same men that they are to blame for all the ills of the world, hits the daft and irony button with equal vigour. That said I can understand why he might believe this and there would be a generational thing going on. He's grown up, as many young men have, with that philosophy as a background, particularly if he grew up in a liberal/centre left environment*. The more he gets into show business the more that stuff will be reinforced(though as we've seen with Hollywood it's often a mask). *nothing wrong with that BTW. I would class myself as an old style liberal.

Wibbs wrote: » Eh no, we don't. People have their moments of emotional stresses and strains alright, just like people have their moments of emotional contentments. It's called the Human Condition. Now some of us do suffer from mental health issues and that needs addressing and they need help, but the human condition is not a mental health issue and I've a pain in my hoop with too many pushing to make it one. Never mind the gobsmackingly naive/idiotic who are trying to make mental issues in men a "feminist" issue.

Wibbs wrote: » Oh so he's not advocating "feminism" as the solution for young men? Could have fooled me Ted. Straight from the placcy bag's mouth; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWUDQdiFB7A I quote: "What these young men need is feminism" then followed by the usual "patriarchy" and "neoliberal" stuff. Now on the surface it seems to make sense, especially the bit about guys getting down about "providing for women". Great. In theory. However the same young men he's speaking with are more in touch with the realities and the realities are that being broke will negatively impact a man's potential dating life. The "provider" role for men is present in every single culture throughout history and no amount of "gender studies" courses and wishful thinking in a generation will change it.

The 2 choices you picked just prove it. Abbeyfeale is a small town which is practically in Kerry, and steamboat quay is not the best place to raise small kids considering its been bought up by vulcher funds who rent the apartments out to every drug dealer in town. Its party central down there from Thursday to Monday. Do you believe all the news you read in the papers or only the nonsence about Blindboy coming from the plush suburbs, Id say you d have no problem spotting fake news if it suited what you wanted to believe.

Dannyriver wrote: » It doesnt, but before neoliberalism when wages were decent and men went to work and had the kind of job security and workers rights that allowed banks to trust them with mortgages and women stayed at home to mind the kids the idea of the traditional role of the man as the breadwinner was feasible. All he is saying is that it's no longer feasible for a lot of men so rather than clinging to that gender role it would be wiser for men to embrace the notion of equality between the sexes and deal with the reality of society as it is. I've a feeling that the word feminism causes an emotional reaction for a lot of men and their critical faculties get hijacked which in a way is understandable due to the fact that radical feminism seems to get all the headlines I 've a feeling that had he used the word equality instead of feminism there would be far less furore.
