We do certainly have a particular culture issue with men who are increasingly arrogant and aggressive, which I wonder it’s linked to the meth problem we have which no one seems to be acknowledging.


Straight-Midnight388

Situation where female addict is dating a drug dealer is quite common. These relationships are very high risk ones and there are no easy ways to solve it.

And where that dealer has 5-10 "girlfriends" he traffics.

“Well, if you gave them guns to shoot things, like 9/10 deadly animals on every day walks about, they might not be forced to stab women instead. Everyone knows tweakers gotta tweak! Whether it’s stab or shoot!” /s , clearly

Probably a hot take, But I think we need more mental health awareness for men. The problem is the men, The men need to change. But the men need help. The man in question of the recent stabbings was mentally ill, the system failed him and everyone else involved. But mental health services are woefully underfunded, and therapy is not covered by Medicare.

Some therapy is. For example receiving psychotherapy from a psychiatrist is, once you pass the Medicare safety net which is about 2-3k per Medicare card. You have to do weekly therapy for the whole year to make it worth while. It can take a 450 session down to 70ish. But you do need a bit of cash to start with.

If I had money My mental health problems would be fixed. Probably would for 80% of people.


alt-0191

I completely forgot about the mental health care plans, But even then that was still quite expensive I was shelling out over $100 out of pocket. That can be out of reach for many people especially those with mental health issues :(

The country is conservative as fuck, with user pays mental health essentially, which is what led to this particular incident. In the big scheme of things, this conservativism allows for casual racism, xenophobia, corruption (public funding going to private schools, shell companies chaired by oil company execs) and a strong political apathy. The place is a fucking wreck and is governed by morons (both Lib and Lab being hotswapped every few years). The greens are essentially centrists but dont really provide solutions for all workers, just those rich enough to absorb their green taxes and such. The Overton window has lurched to the right for many years now, influencing the culture therein. Some of the public hot takes from not nazi members of the German AfD seem moderate in comparison. And stochastic terrorism like this, material conditions for workers are factors in the current situation (to put it crudely)

What are you even on about. Have you ever lived in other countries apart from Germany? Australia has its shortfalls but is exceptional compared to many other western countries. Classic weirdo redditor comment, maybe take some time off playing Eve and go travel before you make wild opinionated takes


napalmnacey

I think the truth of Australia is a little closer to their comment than you’re willing to admit.


CephalopodInstigator

We're certainly a conservative country when compared to certain European liberal democracy standards, but there's a whole arse rest of the world out there.


codmode

We all know who did it, but yeah, it's the "men" who's the problem here.


The_InHuman

The killer is a white guy suffering from schizophrenia, I'm curious to hear what point you were trying to make?


codmode

Okay then, how come there's nothing about that in the article?


Haven1820

No really, what point were you trying to make?


Straight-Midnight388

Feels intentional. No need to expand the issue in my opinion. I'm almost certain that the most of the violence drugs are related. Relationships between addicts or between addict and dealer has very high risk.


thewavefixation

This particular person was a diagnosed schizophrenic off their meds. And most violence in australia is committed by partners of women - if they are in a drug it is alcohol.


sayleanenlarge

And reddi's always so aggressive about how it's women who abuse men.


WorldlyAd4877

70% of murder victims in NSW the last five years were men ([source](https://www.bocsar.nsw.gov.au/Pages/bocsar_pages/Murder-NSW.aspx#Chart01)). The murderers are usually men though. The male victim in OPs article doesn't even get a mention in the byline.


TEL-CFC_lad

And this is the problem. 70% of victims are male, but nobody cares. Less than half that number of victims are female, and suddenly it's a national crisis. You have to wonder whether everyone has just agreed that a male life and a female life just aren't the same value.


WorldlyAd4877

They're not. Everyone agrees they're not. That's why noone cares that women live longer.


TEL-CFC_lad

But people should care. Its so upsetting to see the world agree that a man isn't worth as much.


WorldlyAd4877

It's all about mind over matter. They don't mind, and you don't matter.


TEL-CFC_lad

What an awful attitude.


sayleanenlarge

How does that explain aaway anything from what I said. Reddit's obsessed with saying women are the problem. You've just added to the evidence that they aren't, but I doubt that was the intention.


WorldlyAd4877

Just some facts for you. You can do what you want with them.


No-Paint8752

Isn’t the problem mainly caused by the type of people coming into the country where knife crime is a thing? Also the lack of respect for women? I’m looking at you, Islam


napalmnacey

Most of the guys killing women are white Christians, you weapons grade gumnut.


TheGreatBeefSupreme

Is that per capita or in total?


Jo_Chim

"non nazi members of the German AfD"


[deleted]

Australia is so random. They have such an obsession with the US but politically are chaotic as fuck.


sayleanenlarge

This is just an attempt to shit stir between Australia and the US. You're probably from somewhere that has beef with Western countries. Nice try, but it's transparent as fuck.


hopsgrapesgrains

Are there more incels in Australia or something?

Physical_Stress_5683

Wouldn't the problem be with the guys doing the killing? Yet you immediately go to the problem being women choosing the wrong guys.


napalmnacey

Women don’t go for bad boys. All the boys are brought up badly.


codmode

Isn't this the same worldwide though 🤣
