Boy babies 'worse for depression'

Article here. Excerpt:
'Giving birth to a boy can increase the likelihood of severe postnatal depression, a study suggests.
...
They suggested a negative attitude to a son might be a legacy of unsatisfactory relationships with important male figures in their life, such as their father, or partner.
Professor de Tychey said: "The overwhelming finding of the study was the fact that gender appears to play a significant role in reduced quality of life as well as an increased chance of severe postnatal depression."'
WONDERFUL. NOW WE HAVE "SCIENTIFIC PROOF" SO WOMEN CAN GO ON KILLING AND ABUSING THEIR SONS...

Even more options for women
When a woman screws up or has a negative attitude, it's
1) Due to "socialization" or society itself, or
2) Due to men, or
3) Due to genetics or body chemistry.
It's never due to the woman.

Women are imperfect
WONDERFUL. NOW WE HAVE "SCIENTIFIC PROOF" SO WOMEN CAN GO ON KILLING AND ABUSING THEIR SONS...
Wrong conclusion. The word "depression" means that more and more women will kill themselves.
Such terrible consequences of women's pregnancy is another strong argument for the Artificial Womb.

This is a result of
This is a result of society's negative perception of males. Females are "good, males are "bad". A mother who gives birth to the "bad" gender isn't going to be happy, probably unconsciously.
Though the study isn't a scientific knockout it is a good indicator of what is going on.
"society"?
What do you mean by "society"? Do you perceive men negatively? Do you not perceive yourself as society?
Actually, men are perceived negatively by a "society" which consists of feminists, daughter owners and idiots. And there are only two reasons for such perception: FEAR and JEALOUSY.

It's True
The male gender is stigmatized way more than the female one. After all, females are commonly referred to as "the fairer sex". I think the fact that women are more likely to get postnatal depression after giving birth to a boy is an indicator that subconsciously women like their daughters better than their sons. Rather sad but true.
I really hope they do eventually make an artificial womb. That would be a devastating blow to the monopoly women have on reproductive rights.

Contrarily...
The article also states that in some cultures post-partum depression is greater when a woman gives birth to a girl.
So, the research suggests that there is some kind of social value that mothers attach to the gender of their babies, and it is culturally relative.
Obviously China would be the litmus test with its "one child per couple" population control policy ... the main consequence of which has been incredible levels of female infanticide.
But since they manufacture every commodity sold at Wal-Mart ... no problem with a quiet sexist genocide.
if you look
> The male gender is stigmatized
I classified those who have stigmata in their heads in the "idiots" category

xtrnl, or anyone else - do you know what this guy's problem is?
The way I see it, "nbdspcl"
1)can't speak English,
2)posts comments which wouldn't make sense, in ANY language that I know of,
3)has a long history of having problems, with other members on this board (in case you're wondering), and
4) makes extremely radical statements, usually as footnotes to his own comments, which make MRA's look bad to anyone who may view this site out of curiosity.

The Male Gender Is Stigmatized
So I'm an idiot for noticing the obvious? Here's proof of the claim I made.
I saw on GlennSacks.com that sex ed videos teach girls that they will become like a piece of duct tape which becomes less and less perfect each time it is "used" and warns them not to become like the duct tape. This is implying that letting boys have sex with them is harmful to them. Stigmatization.
In movies and television, rapists and child molesters are almost always males. Even though there are countless cases of female rapists and child molesters. Stigmatization.
The bullshit 1 in 4 chance of rape statistic has been flung around (like the fece it is) for a long time now. And now a lot of men have to hear about how were all perverts considering how so many women get raped. Stigmatization.
In Texas a law was proposed which was to tax the patrons of strip clubs, and the money collected was to go to help victims of rape. This law implied that a harmless act like going to the strip club would lead to rapes; thus making male sexuality look bad, yet again. Stigmatization.
If you want more examples, just ask. But I think I've more than shattered your claim of me being an idiot as well as your claim that stigmatization does not occur.
Looks like your nick is really appropriate, as someone as ignant as you really is "nobody special".
Also, ax is right. Learn how to write.

Yeah
This brain damaged person is a perfect illustration of the typical member of "idiots" category.
What is "axolotl", by the way? Something sort of a cockroach?

Keep Talking
If you want to keep insulting the members of this site that actually have valid points to make, perhaps Matt oughta teach you a lesson by putting you in the box. What the hell's the point in picking fights with us, anyhow? How is that productive?

Southside Rules
Gents,
I am really going out on a limb to suggest that the "Fight Club" mentality here needs to be seriously examined.
Matt the Moderator can step in at any time and is well within his rights to send anyone "to the box."
It would be better, and evidence of some evolution, if the discussions in the neighborhood were not too frequently tending towards flames instead of actual dialogue, analysis, and give-and-take.
If MRAs on the pioneering front of a movement cannot moderate their own anger, then how in the world will this so-called "movement" ever be taken seriously?
I have previously been among the worst flame-throwers, but I am seeking another path now, because it is illogical to continue what does not work.
It is not necessary to agree on everything, or even anything.
But it is necessary to respect other men's voices.
And a little joking now and again should be seen as a symbol of respect for that person's contributions.
I spent years in college on the southside of Chicago and I was usually the only white bwoy on the neighborhood basketball court.
If you've ever played "southside" b-ball you know you're gonna get hurt, regardless of your complexion. (It is equal opportunity in its raw form...)
So, it's totally OK to fight now and again.
Men love combat.
Just make sure you and your mates can play again tomorrow.

To be sincere, I never read neither axolotl's nor your posts (on my opinion, you don't write anything interesting). So my proposition is simply stop reading my posts and replying them. And don't be so stupid assuming that it's me who is "picking fights".

It's All Good. I Don't Care.
The other members of the site appreciate the contributions I make. Why should it bother me if one person out of the countless others doesn't? I just don't appreciate being called names when I actually have something to contribute. But hell, I've been called names for every reason under the sun from being fat(I used to be fat), to being a smoker, to being a Christian. So, I'm used to it.

"To be sincere, I never read neither axolotl's nor your posts (on my opinion, you don't write anything interesting)." [nbdspcl]
I'm Confused.
If you never read what xtrnl and axolotl write how can you judge them as not interesting?
Both individuals are important contributers to MANN.
I have a question: What does "nbdspcl" mean?

I think it means "nobody special" - at least he's honest
Indicative of his English grammar abilities - he spells without vowels.

Interesting

Hmm... it's both strangely and funny to see how several people here are deeply concerned to know what I exactly mean.... What that would mean?
P.S. It would be better for you simply to try to improve your understanding abilities. I don't have time to waste it on talking with you.

I Thought Trolls Lived Under A Bridge?
Your an intriguing individual.
Are you concerned with male rights or just enjoy the attention of attacking the members of MANN?

Thx, Anthony
Thx for sticking up for me, anthony.
You are also a very important contributor to this site. By the way, the nick "nbdspcl" is short for nobody special. I'm not sure what his perogative is (Nor do I really care).

Thanks anthony. With one exception, this guy is the last...
...the last remaining pain in the a** on this board. The sooner we can dump "him", the better.
