Alot of ink and air tme has been spent selling the message that the way women are portrayed in the media, is the major factor in Anorexia Nervosa.

So would it not be equally applicable that the negative way men are portrayed by the media as a factor in the suicide rates.

I wonder if this is just coincidence;

"the rate almost trebling since the 1960's"

The 1960's also saw the rise of feminism.

First of all get one thing straight. You don't talk to me as if I'm an idiot. I am not. And if you want a full on, then I'm up for it.

I have asked you politely to explain, and you've again been bloody rude. So;-let me know what you want and we'll go for it.

NOW: BECAUSE you've had a go at me, the toe rag blowfly has come in to encourage you. Wherever there is any (attempted) bullying of those it dislikes, it comes rushing in to add some petty support.

Whatever our division:-do you REALLY need to have other men supporting you? I wouldn't have picked you for a weakling.

JamesH is inferring that feminism is the cause of suicides in the Bush!! Well now, why not? It's responsible for everything else!

It also says a lot about the strength of men that it is actually assertive women who have driven them to take their lives, and not economic/environmental/and insensitive attitude by city folk!!

Silly me.

You are partially right in what you say, but I KNOW that the Bush does provide some of our food. I agree with you that whether or not that is the case- most all people in the metropolitan areas do not give one damn.

But I do! You damn well get that straight. Don't you dare try to dismiss that!

One more thing Stormbay. You have a massive chip on your shoulder. Frankly I can understand why. But don't take it out on me, OR those who have highlighted the problems out there...,whatever their motivation.

And thank God for people like you who have to deal with the reality.

If you are a Doctor, I've a fair idea of who you are....

Ginx, I apologise if you thought my post determined you an idiot, as it was not my intent. However your irrational and emotional reply sure gives that impression. It's clear you have no understanding of why we have such bad outcomes in rural Aus, it has nothing to do with feminism or the bizarre term assertive women, nor did I say so. I would see what you describe as assertive women, as being in the main, fat psychopaths who don't have a clue about anything and we have to put up with their insane dictates almost daily.

I got a great laugh out of the chip on my shoulder comment. You've no idea the amount of frustration we endure watching our communities die, whilst bureaucratic city idiots and their equally ignorant city dwellers contribute to rural demise by consuming more than 85% of food and 93% of consumer goods all imported. We have to listen to these idiot bureaucrats make denials, excuses and outrageous lies to cover up their complete incompetence daily. The reason every health system in rural Australia and for that matter cities are in such turmoil is, they are all run by useless bureaucrats, whose only qualifications is a minor degree in the arts and years of working on becoming obese bludgers.

Your pathetic attempt at playing the victim, shows how flimsy your argument is. Real women support their men, assertive women destroy that trust. It's the same with men, those who assert themselves all the time, are the main problem in their relationships. I certainly don't thank god, it's the major problem the world has and one of the biggest causes of mental anguish and depression in the bush.

Thanks for the ...er, apology!!

Yes, I see the wisdom... I 'play the victim', getting into fainting fits and sobbing uncontrollably!!

'...It's the same with men who assert themselves all the time, are the main problem in their relationships...'

..er, what?!?

What with the 'assertive' women, and the 'assertive' men, we're all doomed aren't we?

I thought you were making serious posts, but you are simply another embittered knuckle-dragger.

NOW I won't take your screwed up rants seriously...
...and 'God' help the poor sods who cross your path!

If they are all like you, hell will freeze over before you get ANY consideration.

Snarky little bugger!

<”'Feminists are in the main fat psychopaths'.”>

That is not my statement, nor do I imply that anywhere in my post. I understand your ideological need to change facts, it shows you for what you are in regard to this subject, seriously out of your depth and blindly convinced you are right

<”What with the 'assertive' women, and the 'assertive' men, we're all doomed aren't we?>”

There is a great deal of misunderstanding about the term assertive behaviour, because of it's close association with aggressive and suppressive behaviour. Most of the time the difference is unrecognisable and causes more pain, when the concept was supposedly designed to do the opposite. Since the introduction of politically correct speak, the term used was "stand up for yourself, but be nice". Now people believe they have the right to scream, get angry, deny and completely disregard what others say. They believe their rights can disregard facts, as their assertiveness is more important that being right. A perfect formula for misunderstanding and subtle abuse of people, you display that approach eminently. Which is why you have nothing much of relevance to say and so try to accuse others of your own pathetic failings and lack of knowledge of human psychology and sociology.

Maybe you should go on one of our wilderness re-hab courses, or someone else's. City people last just a couple of days and most don't even get out of the first camp, before they can't stand being without their junk and wall to wall people. Get a real life, clearly it's you biggest lacking.

Quite right Stormy little petal:

'ASSERTIVE WOMEN are mainly fat psychopaths'.

A vast improvement. I hang my head in shame. (Honest. I do. Honest).

As to the rest of your rambling BS, I'll read it later,-I need something to cure my insomnia.
