Republican men seem massively troubled about their masculinity — and that’s literally causing death and suffering

    It’s the truth as shown by research. If you don’t like it, take it up with academia, not me.

    I’m not a right-winger nor do I ascribe to their way of thinking.

    In this case, they unfortunately do have facts backing up their assertion that there is greater prevalence of mental illness among the left.

    Other people using it to scapegoat the left for whatever reason doesn’t change that.

      “Take it up with academia” while you’re the one here misinterpreting the research. Great job.

        You didn’t even read the article, you’re just mad that it even exists or that there’s even factual basis for something some dumb right wingers said, and that honestly is not my problem.

        Intellectual honesty is vital especially in this day and age and unless you demonstrate it by being willing to admit your enemy is right sometimes, and mitigating those issues, you’re never going to succeed in anything.

          No I’m not. I’m mad that people think mental illness happens just because and I’m mad that people stigmatize it and everything related to different neurological development/traits. I absolutely despise that shit. What I also hate is when people equate correlation to causation. I also hate when people ignore my points and decide to treat facts in the newly added to the conversation context like opinions while hypocritically telling the other person “you’re just mad at the facts”

            Ok. So I’ve read the article and it says the data was gathered as a selfreport survey. That means there are indeed more possible explanations of the results. It could mean liberals have more problems with mental health or that the conservatives have more problems with reporting their mental health problems. To resolve this issue, it would be necesary to assess the participants’ health with some independent, more objective method.
