Like a song or a movie draws you in before reaching a crescendo?? Or like when you see you can make money out of something and have to keep adding to the story so it doesn't become stale.

See there's a lot of different ways to look at it. I suffer anxiety (medically treated) and as a result of my anxiety suffered from agoraphobia, which is not a nice thing at all and as a result of agoraphobia suffered from depression. It's a bit of a vicious circle. I'm not male so the part of the discussion about how men could better help themselves isn't particularly relevant to me but yet I can understand it and relate to it despite that. It just boggles my mind the level of denial that goes on when it comes to mental health and wellbeing. If I were to believe everything I read here, it only affects men and how mostly, it's probably because women are the cause of it and that seems to suit a certain sector of society and by all means if that's what makes you feel better go with it. It certainly shouldn't invalidate other peoples experiences at the same time.

He never qualified it, never caveated it, never explained what aspects or strains of Feminism should be investigated and ignored. Again he did this on national TV.
A LOT of modern Third/Fourth wave Feminism that is out there and visible is highly toxic. Its central message is that White CIS Gendered men are the enemy and that they are oppressors. Of Women, of minorities, of trans people as well. Now this may not be visible is, or as visible, to older white men who do not live in the digital world. But it is visible to young men who are inhabiting the digital world almost constantly now. How toxic this strain of feminism, and I use the word strain because it is a virus, can be seen in the way that it treats REAL feminists like Camille Paglia, Germaine Greer or Julie Bindell. Hell even Margaret Atwood has been getting it in the neck recently from these Third/Fourth wave feminists. And this is the feminism that young men need? Blindboy needed to be very clear and very careful when he delivered the message that young men needing feminism. He was neither. And that is why he is getting criticism for it.

The agenda is clear to see, he throws about all the cultural marxist crap with the necessary slogans and buzzwords like "patriarchy" etc. Utterly ridiculous propaganda. Of course The RTE licence fee funded parasite doesn't challenge him on any of this. This further strengthens my suspicion that he is a lecturer in some deadbeat course like gender/media studies. Come to think of it, where have I heard "patriarchy" before? Lolhttps://youtu.be/mpNapJK1uMg

That is the post I was talking about, and is the post where the guy talks about "shyte days" which is what I quoted and said I was quoting "Days being shyte does not equal depressed.".
