That Burchill quote. I have to admit, I absolutely see her "parenting" as a major reason why her son took his own life. Can you imagine what having a feminist for a mother would be like?
Having a mother that viewed you as absolute shit, as is standard for Feminists and always has been, certainly would suggest that they would be a terrible parent.
Well, if the men who manage football think that 545 under-24 male suicides a year is a more frightening statistic than two women killed each week (Note: Clever Math here… 104 Women dead vs. 545 men dead… and in her mind the female deaths are significantly more important) - and hundreds of thousands injured every year - by the men they live with, then they must be even stupider than they look; though it’s hard to imagine, I know. But I can’t help feeling they’re on very dodgy ground, taking on the young male suicide thing. For a start, it’s a phony panic, catering to that lowest of modern male desires - to be a victim - for if we are to use the desire for death as a barometer of stress and misery levels among young people, then surely the fact that vastly more young women attempt suicide must mean that young women are still under far more pressure than young men. (Anorexia and bulimia, the scenic-route suicides, are still something like three-quarters female.)
The last time I suggested that suicides should be left to get on with it, I received a small number of letters from people whose sons had killed themselves. All of them demanded an apology. I’d advise them this time to save their stamps because, you see, I don’t care. - Feminist Julie Burchill
Feminists are just… they’re just terribly cowardly shit people.
