yeah, tent or sleeping bag
on the ground
As opposed to other forms of homelessness that involve actual beds mostly
That's kinda the point, though
There isn't necessarily anything wrong with sleeping rough. Generally though, people would want something better, though the reason they are sleeping rough is because they don't have the choice of better
And the situation leading up to it is bloody uncomfortable
So it's a men's rights issue
But a really complicated one
Same with suicide
Perhaps. I think eventually it will be. But MRAs are diverse. We can all agree that men have a suicide problem. I'm not so sure we can all agree on /r/sanctionedsuicide
We have pro-life people in the movement, and not a few of them
I agree with it
but hey
There's a pretty big difference between the mostly and the whole here
IIRC none of the other MRM issues are controversial within the MRM, with the sole possible exception of intactivism
And that's not anywhere near as controversial as righttodie would be. And it may be the case that most of the gender difference on this issue could end up being gotten rid of as mental health conditions for men improve.
I'm pro life.
Guess I'm anti suicide but
I think the state shouldn't have any say in that
No not religious reasons I'm agnostic
I'm still against it
In that
I prefer no one become that desperate
And also
It depends on the situation to
If someone suicidal because they're depressed and medication might help
Then I can see the case for the state intervening
To get the individual help
But let's say it's not a condition that can be cured
Or say somebody is facing something like homelessness or a horrible disease
I think people have the right to commit suicide
In the case of their mind being temporarily out of whack yes
Now that doesn't mean you lock him up in an institution for ever to keep them from killing themselves
Not always
I've got mixed feelings on mental institutions. There are at least some people who are helped
But what scares the shit out of me is this: https://metro.co.uk/2017/10/26/mums-heartbreaking-photos-of-son-starved-of-oxygen-after-suicide-attempt-7028654/
"Over the last eight months he has learned how to move his hands from an armrest to his lap, and to blink once for ‘no’ and twice for ‘yes’. When Helen asks her son if he still wants to die, he blinks twice."
but lo, he's hospitalized
That isn't true about the firearm
Sorry I was in the grocery store
