This particular woman behaved disgustingly Im frankly amazed you cant admit that...I wonder how you and everyone else would react if a man behaved like that in parliament when discussing womens day

But we're not discussing that, we're discussing the video you posted. Why only blame the woman and not give a portion of blame to the man heading the meeting, who by all accounts should be being most professional since he's supposed to be in charge of the meeting?

We are discussing that and this thread is specifically about her appalling behaviour which is way more disrespectful and sexist than any other behaviour in this meeting. why are you deflecting from criticizing her appalling behaviour , is it because shes a woman and you wish to deflect to a man?

Not at all, I would just like to live to see the day when you can see that it's not just women at fault. Anyway, I'll bow out here because I think you're probably just pulling our legs abit, Good Day Sir

Men were laughing, women were laughing = women are sexist. How do you expect anybody to ever take you seriously, honestly.

I thought that Philip bloke brought up excellent points, and I think a day dedicated to male issues should exist in parliament, why not? But I dont think the behaviour from any person in the room was out of the norm, making an entire thread to suggest otherwise (and to target just one of the people in the vid, despite them acting very similarly to those around her) is a bit mindless, and, imo, sexist of you.

I 100% disagree, her behaviour was appalling and profoundly sexist. If a man had behaved like that about womens problems hed probably have been sacked. Double standards as always

The argument for an International Men's Day is a tone deaf one that completely misses the point. It's like arguing for White History Month to be a thing.

It is a bit of a pointless day, though its good to use for highlighting men's issues such as testicular cancer, male depression and domestic abuse against males.

Also, fathers rights is a big issue that needs addressing imo

Pah.... I thought you were a feminist. You shouldn't be interested in men's struggles!

I actually have personal experience with this, both me and Gav had kids before we met, thankfully me and my ex were able to sort things out between ourselves regarding our daughter without ever having to go to court but Gavin had a really tough time and the courts were extremely biased. I think it's a matter of laws not being updated to change with how the times have changed and how parents roles have changed too

If he was so serious he would have ensured he had support to take his proposal forward...He did not do this.

Look at his record, the man does nothing but fillibuster important issues concerning both men and women out of debates in parliament. He is firmly against gay marriage which is a male equality issue, basically he is only for the rights of SOME men which is pointless.

Here is his voting record...

She was laughing at him saying that "men never have an opportunity to raise their issues" because they bloody do!

No they do not, in terms of time, womens issues have 10000s more debated hours...mens rights are rarely discussed enmasses despite the fact all of these figures relating to suicides, relatively early deaths, health spending per male, boys falling behind in schools, no fathers, no male school primary teachers, divorce settlements etc is getting worse every year for men

Most Women > Most Men

I'm screaming at the YouTube comments. I can guarantee 90% of them got their heart broken years ago, haven't got over it and hate all women as a result

[RichardG]

I can't think of why anyone would be opposed to a women's day or a men's day. Both genders have problems that need to be solved so there's nothing wrong with having one day a year to publicise these issues in the media.

the majority on here have shown zero empathy for mens issues, you want to have a long hard think about how phenomenally hard and cruel that really is. This male hate runs very deep in feminists

I don't disagree with international men's day but the male MP was silly to say that men's issues are never discussed

Not all in one go, the way womens are. We need a debate focussing on all mens issues not just 1 at a time. The same way we do for women, that is equality. Its disturbs me how you focus on criticizing him and let the man hating jess phillips get a free pass. she is phenomenally rude, ignorant , unprofessional , cruel and sexist in this entire segment as she is so much of the time. Could a man get away with mocking, laughing, ridiculing female issues , when discussing matters such as female suicide, mortality rates, education for girls etc No. why? because its double standards from the male hating feminists

No, I don't see anything wrong with it at all. there are definitely some areas regarding men that need looking at. The point I was trying to make though is that in alot of those issues men themselves are their own worst enemies. For example male suicide, i think a factor in that is men find it more difficult to open up and talk about how they're feeling and it's other men, not women who make eachother feel that way largely

what patronising sexist nonsense...oh yes the millions of men dying all over the world from suicide is ALL to do with them not opening up? theres are 100s of billions less spent on mens health, mens cancer, mens charities, mens support networks, anyone who even mentions it gets mocked in parliament by a radical feminist or gets mocked on here by the male hating fraternity....telling men to just talk, who is there to listen? the spedning in these areas is far too much in female favour, the entire culture of women playing victims has to change. there are just as many male victims of domestic violence too, yet even when it gets reported so often its still not taken seriously. the fact men have no fathers, no male role models as teachers and are brought up by women only leaves them at a phenomenal disadvantage. the fact theyre are way way behind girls in education is another nail in their coffin, the collapse of industry which the left has done nothing about. the fact the benefits system is rigged for women and mothers over men and the fact young fathers get cut out of their childrens lives by the system all are part of the reason men kill themselves. and all they get is oh just talk aboiut it? what a sick joke. the entire male problems in society are on a monlithic scale. and people here dont even think we need a day to talk about it. terrible , ruthless, cold heartless and sexist male hate
