Louann Brizendine - Women and Depression

Perhaps I should demonstrate the full extent to which men lie to women by showing what an honest male response to a feminist claim would actually look like.

W: Women are better at multitasking then men.

M: Sure honey, sure. Whatever helps you put out more.

Awesome if you are a man-hater.

Then again, by your screenname, this much is obvious.

Men commit more suicides though.

Actually, men attempt suicide less often, we're just more successful at it.

where are you getting your figured from?

According to the World Health Organization in 2008, men commit more suicides.

Yet the ratio od depression in men and women is 2 to 1 .If women are statistically more depressed ,why are more men commiting suicide? Could it be that while men are less likely to be depressed their depression can be more severe? Just a thought

I can't really have an accurate measure on how many women answer a servey on weather they are depressed or not. But what I can measure is how many women that are on anti-depressants vs. men and how many men commit suicide vs. women. Out of that i try to make the most accurate measurement. You could be correct, I mean I havn't even included weather men just "tough out" depression and act like they are normal without seeking help from a doctor.

And thank you for the comment by the way, I am in no way a feminist by any means. I think what feminists do with unsubstantiated data is repulsive. And the fear I have with the MRA is not that they don't have legitimate claims for human rights issues but rather it's important to remember that gender issues are important and I think the best ways is not to stress on a gender separated platform but together on a humanistic platform together. I think this is the highest ideals we can work towards.

There's a difference between qualitative conversations and quantitative conversations. Just because women like to get together over tea and criticize everything doesn't make them better communicators than men. It just makes them better TALKERS.
