@laura__palmer things are a lot better than how they were a few decades ago!

@laura__palmer I think it's important for everyone's mental wellbeing to not believe the media hype that things are getting worse and to acknowledge that what we've been doing is having a positive impact 

@dizzythewolf yes you are

@laura__palmer actually in many regards things have gotten better. We know that intimate partner homicide has been on the decline since the 80s (reducing by about 60-70% for female victims). There's also been a steady decline of domestic violence. 

@anonymous It doesn't really serve anyone for him to lose.his job. Presumably he was paying child support. If he lost his job that would dry up pretty quickly.

I don't think the question really helps anyone. Sure it makes for some entertaining videos, however logically it doesn't make any sense to answer bear. When more than 99% of men you encounter don't cause.you any harm and in some parts of the world it's illegal to be outside WITHOUT a gun due to bear attacks, any answer other than man is a joke, misinformed or just hyperbolic. 

I find it a little perplexing that people are shocked that a Catholic school is enforcing standards with one of these being dressing somewhat modestly. Surely part of the reason these girls are attending a religious school is to learn and be instructed in the Catholic ways which includes dressing modestly. 

@Cait I agree. I want to see more mothers with babies in arms on roller coasters, in mosh pits and on the Sydney Harbour bridge climb. It's their right!

I think it's reasonable that he asked them to leave. It distracted him and was going to risk disrupting the show for the other 700 people there. 

I think there's going to have to be a lot more investigating before we know what motivated this man to do what he did. Shoppings centres are frequented overwhelmingly by women (70% to 80%) which could explain the disparity. Also important to acknowledge that devastatingly, women and children are less able, on the whole, to defend themselves from a physical attack than men, so if someone wanted to cause as much devastation as possible, then women and children would be a likely target.

@peanutgallery the media is reporting he was suffering from schizophrenia.

@laura__palmer it's fun to complain

Oh great. Another article to promote only fans and Polyamory.

I'm pretty darn sure that exclusion of men is part of the artwork and this lawsuit is really just a logical extension of the art. Let's face it, women would be pissed off if their was a men only exhibition and most likely launch their own lawsuit. 

Savings is a pretty vague term and probably doesn't reflect the true financial situation of these people. Some of them may have a tiny amount in their bank but been maxing out their super or investments.

@snorks agreed. If these people have it just sitting as cash then they need some lessons in finance and investing.

Savage's suggestion that monogamy emerged 60 years ago is absurd. For the most part humans have been monogamous for over a million years. Just because some very wealthy men through history have had multiple wives doesn't disprove that monogamy is by and large the more prominent way relationships are structured. Even in societies where polygamy is legal monogamy is considerably more popular.

I don't really understand the closing statement of this article. I listen to Joe Rogan a lot and he is always happy to admit he's wrong or change his mind. His whole appeal is that he isn't an expert on anything but instead gets guests on with interesting and different perspectives on to give their opinion. 

I'm sure the money is amazing and I hope it's worth it.

@laura__palmer there seems to be this argument that because men commit almost all the murders (and rapes and crime in general) that men don't deserve victimhood status when a crime is committed against them. Just because the victim and perpetrator have the same sex doesn't make the crime or impact any less real for the victim.
