SOVIET COMMUNISTS UNDER STALIN AND KAGANOVICH MURDERED TEM MILLION UKRAINIANS THREE MILLION OF THEM CHILDREN. THE HOLODOMOR GENOCIDE 1933. WHY IS THIS FORBIDDEN HISTORY IN THE UK.

[Mark999999999]

@CO3EPC It is not 'forbidden history'.

to be honest, I find this DISGUSTING. I am female, portuguese, studied engineering at top school (90% males) and never ever felt descriminated during my degree. I was top of my class and allmost all girls did better than guys. there were no Boys' clubs, on the contrary, we all hung out drinking together. British society is still in the middle ages!

[Mark999999999]

@yellowwitch1 I can assure you that we all hang out drinking together in Britain too :p

She's a repulsive women, young men have the highest suicide rates, men die younger, are more likely to be affected by drink and drugs yet she just dismisses it, it's because of women like her that these groups exist.

[Liam2621]

For a man to be happy he needs to express his masculinity and that's been overlooked a lot, good luck to these guys.

[Liam2621]

I think it's great to see men's groups, they've been needed for a long time.

[candistyx]

I don't see what's wrong with men getting together to discuss being men.

She is fucking lame, and hasn't raised any worthwhile points in support of her argument. Most mens groups aren't banner carrying (to use the metaphor) mens rights groups that feel they are oppresed, they are just trying to be better functioning human beings. THIS IS A BENEFIT TO WOMEN, and children as well as other men, because we all live on the same planet. Funny 'bout that. Part of the fear around mens groups is based around a perceived threat to the funding of womens welfare services.
