Destruction of men via outlawing male activity's been one of the states more successful endeavors. Right up there with elimination of affordable energy, the industrial economy, education, justice, property rights, freedom of speech, etc etc.

The Kposowa 2003 research does not prove persecution of men. What it shows is that the suicide rate of divorced men is much higher than the normal suicide rates. In fact 9 times higher than women. Kposowa relates this to the traumatic effect of severing the parent-child bond.

This research has not been contradicted and neither do you challenge it save for age.

However, this can be easily dismissed by reason there can be no evolutionary change in species parent-child attachment bond in 17 years.

There is no equivalent research available in Australia. However, given the similarity of family law and VAWA imported here from the USA that research remains valid. One cannot credibly argue that fathers in Australia love their children less.

What has changed significantly is the outcomes in family court consequent of the unilateral family violence amendments in 2011.

These underhandedly repealed the weak shared parenting amendments of 2006. In fact, Austlii caselaw confirms there has not been one court ordered case of equal shared parenting since 2011.

The AIFS study confirms women receive primary custody in 85% of cases. Share parenting is rare. The father-child bond is being obliterated with the consequence that the male suicide rate has doubled since those amendments. There is no dispute about this doubling.

However, no one can supposedly figure out the reason.

Of course, it has nothing to do with the $5BN dollars put into the hands of radical feminists through the National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and THEIR Children and their relentless propaganda demonising “evil men”, or the male witchunts resulting in the mass criminalisation/incarceration/pauperisation of men for trivial offences such sending a text or looking angry or calling a women fat.

Perhaps that is the persecution you are referring to

'The Kposowa 2003 research does not prove persecution of men. What it shows is that the suicide rate of divorced men is much higher than the normal suicide rates. In fact 9 times higher than women. '

will never be reported on abc. Does not fit narrative.

Your totally wrong Jamo.

Read these ABS statics for the truth of the matter. Mood disorders followed by substance abusers lead the pack of suiciders.

The Au rate of suicide is still far behind those South Korea.

Australia is experiencing an epidemic of drug use in its communities, which the drug ice predominates.
Suicide rates have increased because of that.

Trump egomaniacal delay in taking COVID-19 seriously led many who wanted to LIVE having no choice but to DIE.

That is Trump's inability to take expert medical advice up to March 31, 2020 that the threat was really serious. See http://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/politics/trump-coronavirus-statements/ dated March 31, 2020

Trump is America's main problem with COVID-19 due to Trump's leadership delay. That is Trump's inability to take expert medical advice up to March 31, 2020 that the threat was really serious. See http://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/politics/trump-coronavirus-statements/ dated March 31, 2020

TRUMP SAID IN 2020:

“America will again, and soon, be open for business — very soon — a lot sooner than three or four months that somebody was suggesting. ... We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself.” News conference, March 23

“I’d love to have the country opened up and just raring to go by Easter.” Fox News interview, March 24

“We’re going to have a great victory.” News conference, March 30 [Adopting the rhetoric of war!]

“I don’t believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. You know, you go into major hospitals sometimes they’ll have two ventilators, and now all of a sudden they’re saying, ‘Can we order 30,000 ventilators?’” Fox News interview, March 26

“WE WILL WIN THIS WAR. [capitalized by Trump] When we achieve this victory, we will emerge stronger and more united than ever before!”
— Twitter, March 28

“Nothing would be worse than declaring victory before the victory is won.” News conference, March 29

[On March 29, 2020] Anthony S. Fauci, one of the nation’s top infectious disease experts and a member of the White House’s coronavirus task force, warned that between 100,000 and 200,000 Americans could die and that millions would be infected. The president said on Sunday that the country would be doing well if it “can hold” the number of deaths “down to 100,000.”

COMMENT

Even though America has the world's most advanced, most expensive medical care more Americans have the disease and have died than in any other country. Many more Americans will die due to Trump's delays and minimisation of the COVID threat.

As at May 18 2020 US COVID:

- CASES 1,486,742

- DEATHS 89,564.
