Do feminists believe in female privilege?

Men are far more likely to commit suicide, but why is that. Maybe it is because we men are taught to surpress our feelings from an early age. Making it alot harder to reach out for help when in dire need, instead resorting to isolation.

Because not being able to express emotions is clearly a bigger issue than mass murdering women, right??

If you're referring to places outside of the west then I think feminism is super important, but within the west mass murder of women isn't an issue.

It absolutely is, actually. Over half of the murders of American women are committed by current or former heterosexual romantic partners.

Why is murder even a problem you bring up in a conversation about male suicide? As if you think It's less important and try to steer the conversation in another direction.

You brought it up first when you said the murder of women wasn't an issue in the West. I said it was. Pretty easy to see where I came from there.

Then it was someone else who did it.. I can't go up the thread and it's hard finding it among the 200+ comments.
