Actually, what really amused me is she did a token effort, saying her male friends, once they turned 18, could not express emotion when they were upset (which sounded suspiciously like they simply did not show emotions LIKE HER and in a way that she did), and how men suffer from high incidence of Depression and suicide....and with this token "reach out" to male concerns....went on to say that to make things better for them they should support women.
FUCK THAT!
WEFORWE ? How about we all support each other? Doesn't THAT sound like equality?
Because you know her, and her male friends, and that's how you know what she actually meant? Support each other is fine, I guess, for as long as everyone does it your way.
What exactly is my way? Interesting retort but it kind of misses the point entirely, doesn't it? HEFORSHE is necessarily males supporting females not requiring females supporting males. Like the support from males will through osmosis derive benefits to their well being.
Similarly I do not pretend to know anyone else's emotional capabilities or limitations or expression, nor do I have to in order to have made the statement I did.
Everyone has emotions and expresses them differently. If as an 18 year old girl she found her 18 year old male peers did not she their emotions like her and her 18 year old female peers.....so what?
I do take issue with her calling this a problem in the same way it would be a problem if an 18 year old had issue in the way 18 year old girls expressed emotion and cited it as a social problem.
Of course were this to happen that boy would likely be criticised for being ignorant and sexist and females rightness express emotion however the Hell they wanted would be the battlers.
But when Emma does it she gets a standing ovation and is seen as sensitive to male needs.
See the problem?
