    In short, this is some BS tweet (and blatant propaganda) that seemingly has no actual science backing it.

    Firstly, no source was provided to back up his claim about female suicide rates. The Statista link from this comment suggests that he is talking out of his ass.

    Secondly, that alone would not have been enough to establish a causative relation (no fault divorce => less female suicides). Because correlation does not equal causation.

    Although that would be a win, European alternatives are not much better in terms of privacy. If that’s something you’re looking forward to.

    Pretty much all methods of online payment require you to give away your identity in the name of fighting “money laundering” and terrorism (Israel doesn’t count). You have a system where the government is constantly trying to reach its tentacles into everything that has to do with finance. The current European payment services are an important part in facilitating that control. A new European debit/credit card is not going to change that.

    There are always going to be bad men trying to commit aggression, so one should be grateful that there are other men who counter that.

    If you want to turn this into a man-problem, then why stop there? You might as well turn this into a human-problem. Turning this into a gender issue rather than focusing on the bad people specifically, is an arbitrary (and toxic) way of framing the issue.

    Yes, women need men. Who is primarily fighting in Ukraine? Who was forced to stay and who was allowed to leave? Answer: The men had to stay to fight while women and children were allowed to evacuate the country.

    Defense is just one example of what men do for women.

    You don’t need no man until you do.

    Don’t be toxic, be grateful.
