South Korean politician links rising male suicides to women
www.bbc.com
A Seoul city councillor is criticised for saying a growing "female-dominant society" may be to blame.

I thought this was an onion article but guess what? It is real.

They are blaming literally anyone except the true culprits: capitalism...

    Besides the wild things described in the article, I was surprised to read the following crazy nonsense:

    At the same time, a government think tank recommended that girls start school earlier than boys, so that classmates would be more attracted to each other by the time they were ready to marry.

      Doesn't surprise me in the least. Another way they decided to fix their birth rate was by giving one time lump payments to new parents. Which would definitely never be abused.

      I can't imagine working 100+ hour weeks is having any impact on their ability to have kids or anything like that.
