the truth 10-04-2017 01:43 PM

all were getting to hear is the wifes views, when its far more interesting to hear the childrens views who see her as a cold woman who has stopped them getting their rightful inheritance. williams financial problems and the tens of millions given to ex wives...were well documented yet the media barely covered them.

Exactly.

Millions?

I think the vast majority of feminists have bigger fish to fry than trying to make men's lives a misery. Things like equal ops and equal pay, for instance. Feminist does not equal misandrist.

If they were "well documented" how can you claim the media barely covered them? Where did you get the information? How do you know it's true?

Sadly it does in many cases now and the counter arguments are rarely if ever put across because if a man puts that across he is slandered and labelled sexist and risks losing his job, career, home, children etc etc

I think Truth is confusing feminists for meninists.

It was barely documented as a possible reason for his suicide. For some reason its politically incorrect to discuss that. But his wife was given carte blance to blame it all on his mental health yet was never asked about his financial problems. Nor has the ensuing battle over the will been covered by the BBC or many other news networks.

I'd be willing to bet there are just as many women-hating men as there are man-hating women. Maybe even more.... and men have had a couple of thousand years calling the shots now. Maybe that's why some are unhappy with women? Because women can now call their own shots. At least in this country...

She took the kids to court, not the other way around.
He died with an estimated estate worth $100million so he hardly had money problems.
The wife wanted his wishes enforced by arranging for the trust to pay her to remain in the marital home, and the money to maintain it.
The kids were happy to take the lot, all of his bikes, photographs and even the tuxedo he was married in.
She managed to win the bike they bought on honeymoon and the watch he wore most of the time.
Sounds like there was a lot of animosity coming from the kids to be honest.

How am I trolling?

You seem to think that feminism revolves around hating men which isn't true while meninism became a thing as a direct response to feminism and it's basically just a bunch of angry men acting like victims when they have more advantages in life.

"he was selling his home and taking lousy roles to pay his debts"

Yes it all added up
taking the funny man
away from us.

This really... it's impossible to say whether he had issues with his mental health because of the problems in his life, or if many of the problems in his life were in fact caused by problems with his mental health. It's most likely a bit of both, these things always are, a self-sustaining cycle really but trying to decide whether it's more one or the other is purely speculation.

If we are to speculate, though, from what I know he did suffer from Bipolar disorder (colloquially known as "Manic depression") throughout his entire life and this isn't a disorder that's caused by life circumstances (like other depressive disorders and episodes can be) but is a genuine imbalance in brain chemistry. Then again, it's quite clear that a lot of Robin William's absolute best work was done while he was in the "up" phases of Bipolar... he wouldn't have been who he was without it. There's a sad irony in that. What finished him off in the end was a large part of what made him great in the first place.

Valid Point corrections

Sadly also very common with bipolar... it's a very difficult and chaotic thing to live with for family members.

There are probably an equal amount on both sides, but in many areas the pendulum has swung too far and men in many cases are being discriminated against and are way less protected and looked after by the system. That is a fundamental problem which is having devastating effects in the UK

Are we meant to blame his wife for his death? Like Niamh said, the only person who can say for sure who's to blame is Robin Williams himself. This thread is just another excuse for Truth to bash women while calling everyone else sexist.

A lot of threads speculate about a lot of different issues, the WW3 thread is speculative as no one knows the future doesn't stop people from having an opinion

Is meninism really a thing?I thought it was just a joke meme or something.I don't think it exists.

Now MGTOW(men going their own way)is real and MRA's(mens rights activists).
I think those two are not necessarily a response to feminism per se but mainly consist of men who have been stung in divorces and lost their houses,cars and money and access to their kids etc.

There is actually a meninist group, there was a show on it with that guy last year I think, Reggie Yates I think was his name? He went to one of their meetings where the leader guy was saying how he thinks rape should be legal on private property :worry:
