What do you honestly think is causing it though? They're not one offs and it's been going on for a while..

It's not normal behaviour, by any stretch of the imagination.
Attention whoring hands down. There trying to spread the usual BS that "people like me would never be allowed to be in a role like this". Trying desperatly to manufacture a false poignancy to reinforce the idea that liberals are making a real world impact with there racist policies.

Are you sincerely assuming that they've not being influenced in a very early sinister and relative 'easy' (external influences) way and hence behave via a programmed trauma based subconsciously coding script that may be broken? No disrespect meant whatsoever CGNOIRE.

Ugggghhhh.... all the fake tearing up, crying, and attention seeking.
These people are insufferable. What morons fall for this shit?

We desperatly need a vomit emoji stat.
I have so many students that were talking about this before break, since the movie came out last week and they are so into it. During my Current Events class a student brought up these “inspiring” videos…and I had to explain to my students that these are actors…and they are acting.

I ask this as a concerned father of a teenage girl....what is going on with women right now? Why are they all so randomly sad and affected in ways that even they do not understand by events they cannot control? I try to stay informed but disconnected, if that makes sense, as I believe that one will be miserable if they connect themselves emotionally to causes that they can't affect, but women just seem an absolute mess right now, emotionally speaking, and I genuinely wonder why. My daughter is actually pretty mentally healthy in this pool of nonsense, and she has every excuse to be a mess because she's a teenage girl, so what is going on here?

>10% of women in the US are taking antianxiety medications
>17% are taking antidepressants
>20% are on some form of prescription medication for their mental health
>12% are in counseling or therapy

Higher stats than any other country. What's the root cause? Take your pick. Social media pressure, overprescription of medications (each with significant psychological side effects), cultural emphasis on career at the expense of family, radical ideologies, hookup/situationship culture, recreational drug use, etc.

She clearly has good parents.
 
They talk like members of a cult, they even look like members of a cult, plain and simple.

Go back 20 years ago and watch celebrity interviews like this and people just didn't talk like this, it's no different than if they were Scientologists talking about operating thetan level 4 and the bridge to total freedom, huge swathes of mainstream American culture has been hijacked by a cult.

Social contagion encouraging women to be absolutely hysterical with their emotions and not get a grip.

Yeah world was still mostly sane 20 years ago before the woke insanity shit got popular. And those lunatics always either talk like a creepy cult member or a batshit insane freak. This is just one of the many cases like compare Natalie Portman's interview to the more recent ones.

This being anywhere near normal is completely out of the question, so the game becomes figuring out what the reason is. In order of the thoughts that come to mind:
  1. Trolling
  2. Acting to gain sympathy after the one with the bull ring told off a fan for editing a promotional image to look more like the original because she's a human that has feeling and actors use their eyes or some shit
  3. Drugs
  4. Mental damage
  5. Sniffing their own farts way too much and falling into some weird almost cult-like mentality where auras and feelings and shit is all that exists
  6. All of the above

The data is horrific.

In the UK (and probably elsewhere) we have a shit ton of kids being slapped with as having autism and ADHD and now there's a chronic shortage in these medications because so many kids have been medically labelled as such. Support services are also stretched thin and difficult to access.

Short but maybe somewhat relevant.

There is so much currency in being emotional, so it's probably just that, mixed with Hollywood using it as a marketing tool to try to connect with women.

Along with what EviLore EviLore posted above. It's all kind of circling around each other creating this weird currency.

It's clearly one of those, but it would take a greater mind than mine to deduce which one is at greatest fault. I'd venture so far as to say that an over reliance on prescription medication is definitely a big part of the problem, (75% of the issues you mentioned there are related to reliance on prescription medication), as it seems many people refuse to find a way to take charge and attack their problems head on without first obtaining a little miracle pill from the doc. We have become soft and weak as a people, and we have allowed our beloved, beautiful, brilliant women to believe they require help from charlatans to make it through their day and to alleviate their woes. Pharmaceutical companies have women earnestly believing that they aren't strong enough to handle their emotional or physical issues without help from others, and it's just depressing. We need to start teaching women about self reliance, about personal strength, about accountability, about perseverance, about thick skin, and about loving themselves and others at the best of times, of course, but also at the worst of times, especially.

How we do that, I don't know....all I can focus on is mine, but I hope for the sake of women everywhere that we can figure something out as a people. I, too, find the modern woman perplexing and irritating, but I don't know that the modern woman is completely at fault, though we must all certainly take responsibility for our actions. I just try, every single day, to raise mine right and to not let the weakness of the outside world seep in. You wouldn't believe the nonsense that she comes home and tells me the school counselor told her, and the sheer number of scapegoats that modern public education has conjured to pin blame for everything on. Fortunately, my daughter is too smart to be duped. She comes home, "Daddy! I've gotta tell you about what the nuts at school said about men now!", and I laugh with her at the nonsense, and I'm just so proud of her for her inability to be duped, and her presence of mind and strength of spirit. She had a school counselor recently try for nearly an hour straight to convince her that she was either gay or transgender, (neither of which is a bad thing but it simply doesn't apply to her), but she didn't allow anyone to change her at all. She stood her ground and said, "no, I'm fine, I'm just me." She's incredible man, she's unshakable.
She clearly has good parents.

It deeply disturbs me what is happening in schools.

They complain about being too busy, yet find time for lots of this bullshit. And I know that if teachers don't kowtow, they either get fired or forced out (a close friend won a settlement in that regard and hasn't taught since).

Yet, many of the problems they do face come from their mollycoddling and nonsense attitude to developing these young people.

The only schools that seem somewhat safe from it all, are private, often very old, and traditional ones. Often single sex too. Plus faith schools, but that is a different can of worms.
