Lori, rant all you want actually .. there is so much wrong with all this..
As a gay man I'm slowly coming to a point where I find so much of this divisive.. I can hardly get my head around it and therefore grateful that you even challenge this stuff.
It is some sort of priority behaviour that is determined by the outrageousness of whoever has the biggest stick in their hand.. I've read something about this somewhere and right now I think it was from some economical group who were discussing Capitalism - Free Market.. strange as it seems.
I think it must be putting the horse before the cart.. !!!
I can only think it is somehow like: there is a problem with teenagers overdosing but we will focus on reducing package sizes and 'problem fixed'.. rather than 'gee, why the hell are these teenagers, male or female' overdosing in the first place and maybe we should be looking at what is wrong in society'.. as an example...
Maybe I have the wrong end of the stick..
I remember in one of Scott Pecks books where a boy was depressed and Peck couldn't find the reason and then finally the boy told the story that the brother had committed suicide with a gun that was a present from the parents and then the same gun was given to the second child and when Peck questioned 'why' they said something like, 'we didn't have much money to buy a gift for our son'..
On reading this I realised that this, Peck suggests this, is pure evil...
and Lori I take it in my own way of translation when you quote: 'Intimate partner violence is the only life-threatening social issue where women are the overwhelming majority of victims. '
so despite thousands of 'people' dying, the focus is on 'intimate partner violence' and 'on women'... not 'violence as a whole'..
Evil...
the other thing is the drowning and the statistical break down.. I'm not going to bother looking at it all but knowing all the ages and who died, is this necessary or is this just to justify selling Newspapers and keeping people in jobs.. like: who can swim and who cannot. etc., etc.,
So Lori..rant all you like.. you've given me some ideas as to why I'm triggered.. this stuff is toxic and I stop but I feel sick knowing all this...
It's depressing stuff all right, I wanted to try to balance it with positive stories but there aren't many at the moment. I will definitely come up with something good for Christmas.
I am glad you are looking into free market capitalism, while it is the basis of our wealth and not something we should casually mess with, it is also the reason men are treated as expendable. Why are men forced to pay child support for children that DNA tests prove aren't theirs? It's good for the economy. Why is the working class sold out in favour of foreign labour? It's good for the economy. Why the endless wars of the military industrial complex? It's good for the economy.
some good points Lori.. it is absurd that men are made to pay for things that they are not responsible for.. government overreach.. some men might enjoy paying for a woman and a child(ren) but when forced to that is something else.
I've been reading and listening to Mises Institute recommendations...

All this should be questioned.

After I read some of Ayn Rand.
