This headline calling someone who committed suicide due to mental health issues “mentally fragile”

Why is anyone surprised at this point? A man killing himself isn't news unless they're able to ridicule it or he had a family that he "abandoned".

That sub, r/trashy is pretty pathetic. That is where I first saw this and am getting downvoted for saying that I hope when they kids grow up they leave their mom and refuse to talk to her. I watched as my brother went through a marriage like that where the mother held my nephew hostage over his father. That strategy is biting her in the ass now though, at almost 13 years old that little boy fucking hates his mother and that hate started at about 9-10 years old.

Yet when a women kill herself and bring her son with her she is a "strong but depressed women who didn't had any other choices" bullshit.

The same Daily Mail previously had this article :

Agony of being a 50/50 mum:

Women once held the upper hand in custody battles. Now fathers are winning EQUAL access... and mothers are struggling to cope

Nicola Hewitt, 42, an office manager from Kenley, Surrey, faces the trauma of being without her children Devon, 10, and Sonny, eight, every weekend
Veronica Sweeney-Bird, a 33-year-old bar worker from Tunbridge Wells, a week-on, week-off shared care arrangement for her two daughters
Mothers are having to divide time with their children equally with their exes

Stay classy Daily Mail...no, wait...you know what? Fuck you. A man lost his life, kids lost a father, parents lost a son, a woman lost a paycheck. so fuck you right in the face with your shitty misandry.

FISHneedWATER · 2019-11-28T19:00:41+00:00

ITS the Daily Mail. They piss everyone off.

rabel111 · 2019-11-28T22:58:16+00:00

The media and suicide services coverage of this man's death reveals the entrenched misandry in our mental health services, domestic violence services and social science academia. This man was not mentally fragile, he was a victim of domestic violence. Can I say that with nore emphasis.

HE WAS A VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

The tragedy here is that his death will blamed on him in a disgustingly sexist and widely unchallenged act of misandric victim blaming.

Woman kills her own child because she doesn't want the father to see the child: Stunning and brave woman makes hard choice!

Man kills himself because he couldn't see the child: Mentally fragile dad kills himself.

These newspaper editors should be tried in court.

imperialdreamer · 2019-11-28T20:19:28+00:00

Isn't the Daily mail just a big joke these days

Mythandros · 2019-11-28T19:50:41+00:00

Hey look, the Daily Fail.

Surprise surprise. /s

GuyWithTheStalker · 2019-11-28T23:01:19+00:00

It's a war on men. Also though, saying "mentally fragile" paints a picture of a dude who's just week, rather than worn down by CLEARLY ONE OR TWO particular things.

princesspuppy12 · 2019-11-29T00:40:05+00:00

Jesus Christ and this is why I have no faith in humanity! People are disrespectful even to the dead and it's just because he's a man!

cbeaus · 2019-11-29T02:12:43+00:00

I need a link to an article, I'm getting tired of screenshots that could be doctored.

DepravedWalnut · 2019-11-28T22:10:41+00:00

Fucking daily mail, man...

Shimmerstorm · 2019-11-29T03:42:29+00:00

Yeah, I couldn't imagine why a father would be so distraught not be able to see his kids over the holidays...?

gaia2008 · 2019-11-29T04:51:25+00:00

Thanks giving today and my ex hasn’t have the kids call, they haven’t been able to speak to me for a week! Because she is a covert narcissist.

Weaselur · 2019-11-29T05:25:04+00:00

Fucking Snapchat man, it's completely run by and for women from what I can tell. They didn't have anything for Men's day, but you bet your ass there was all sorts of shit for Women's day.

I expect this type of shit on that app.

CapoFantasma97 · 2019-11-29T07:28:53+00:00

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Hopefully they backpedaled on that because I can't find the article online

FluidInterest8 · 2019-11-29T03:06:46+00:00

Great work for mental health.

Imoldok · 2019-11-29T06:15:42+00:00

F this rag , hope the one who wrote the lines finds out what mental fragile means, imbecile. My heart morns for those children. And the guy also. Didn’t read it cause it would just remind me how women go heartless at will. Here by the grace of God Go I.

acutepresence · 2019-11-29T07:30:55+00:00

It's a disgrace.

210417altaccount · 2019-11-29T23:10:35+00:00

"White fragility" is another term they love to use.

ProblemKaese · 2019-11-29T01:01:43+00:00

Am I understanding something wrong when I think that "mentally fragile" and having "mental health issues" has the exact same meaning except for mental health issues possibly also including lighter cases? If there is a difference, is it just that the association is different for native speakers?

(and this is no argument for the headline, I have read about that case from another article that clearly states complementary information that contradicts the implied message of this headline)

Weaselur · 2019-11-29T07:27:16+00:00

I would say committing suicide is the very definition of mental fragility - it's not a value judgement/criticism, it's a fact meaning you are finding life too hard to cope with. It's exceedingly heartless the way some parents use children as weapons against each other and there's little point in making this all about gender - it's dysfunctional human beings doing dysfunctional stuff.

TheAnarxoCapitalist · 2019-11-29T09:13:19+00:00

I still don't understand why these men kill themselves without revenge. It doesn't make sense to me... We all jokingly often say "if I'm going down, I'm taking everybody with me"...

I'd at least take the cause of my misery with me. Maybe I'm crazy? I don't know. But I don't care to be honest.

See-9 · 2019-11-29T09:27:47+00:00

I mean...are they wrong? Anyone who commits suicide is mentally fragile. I’m suicidal at times and I’d definitely consider myself mentally fragile. I don’t say it to demonize or demean I just think it’s true

Double_A_92 · 2019-11-29T07:22:40+00:00

Isn't this what fragile means though?

MineDogger · 2019-11-28T21:23:10+00:00

Now lets find the headline that says, "whining co-ed won't shut up about a little surprise penetration."

Autistocrat · 2019-11-28T18:30:43+00:00

Fragile in this case is not an insult. He or anyone else should not be regarded any less human whether your mind is fragile or not. I myself have history of depression and, well. You do become fragile. The culprit in this case is the mother, not the ones who is reporting relevant news. Don't disencourage reports on important subject.

Gimpy1405 · 2019-11-28T15:27:08+00:00

I'd say his actions were pretty clear evidence he was fragile. Sad story.

EDIT: Not saying fragile = bad. We're all human and have some breaking point. We're all fragile.
