"Male suicide is on the rise. Here is how it negatively affects women."

This is the most stupid thing i've read, ever.

Look at the graph. More men are living with their parents than women. More men have always lived at home, according to the graph. The numebr of both men and women living at home is on the rise, with more men living at home than women. Yet women are hit harder, only because the percentage of women living at home has reached what it was back in 1940, and the men's hasn't. This arbitrary fact, basically saying that because women have it as bad as they did back in 1940, somehow means women are hit harder. But men are only doing slightly better than they were in 1940, and the gender gap has lowered. you'd think this would be good? No. it's not true equality until the proportion of men to women living at home is as unequal as it was in 1940, which has the biggest gender dispairty, hitting men disproportionately hard compared to the rest of the graph.

This is incredily stupid. Men are hit harder, according the stats, but because the women's rate has reached some arbitrary number, it hits women harder. Bull fucking shit.

"Women today are five times as likely to be enrolled in college than in 1940"

"... and over half of these women are majoring in the absolute easiest majors possible and will graduate with completely worthless degrees there are no jobs for at all."

We need to always, always make sure to mention that part.

Its funny there is a homeless problem around here so they build a women's homeless shelter... nobody read or cared about the fact that most homeless people are men.

I suppose it's difficult to find a job with your gender studies degree

Umm, according to the article, the men's record is 47.5%. 42.8<47.5.

"Young Women Are Living at Parents' Home" Is that new?
That's been around forever. Whatever the feminists can complain about. Annoying feminists.

Tell the lazy women to get off their asses, get jobs and move the fuck out.

I'm actually OK with this story. The author states:

The data tell a similar story for young men. Last year 42.8% of men lived at home—higher than women, but not at its 1940 peak, when 47.5% of them lived at home.

Women were just the first to return back over that 1940 threshold - men aren't yet there. At least that was my take away.
