Men are now responsible for a woman's bad choices?

Apparently, "the patriarchy" is responsible for the death of Amy Winehouse, and not the fact that she chose to be a substance abuser.

She also made some bad romance choices, (but didn't seem to want to get out of them).

I don't remember "male entitlement" being blamed for Janis Joplin, who was eulogized after her drug abuse death. But I wasn't around then so who knows.

Does that mean women can now do whatever they want guilt-free because men are ultimately responsible? Does that mean we (men) can also take responsibility for their successes? Or is it just their failures?

    "Men are now responsible for a woman's bad choices?"

    No, they are not. And after reading that article, and then sussing out the "journalist" and the website, I can see that THIS is what a MASTERS DEGREE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF GENDER, SEXUALITY AND WOMEN’S STUDIES gets you. A coveted "journalist" positon on a blog that you create yourself.

    You should always first determine the source before reading anything with such a fantastic headline. I can tell you right now that EVERY story coming from this "journalist" will be exactly the same, as they are all coming from he same feminist script.

    How can we take this "journalism" seriously. I just wasted 4 minutes of my life I will never get back.

    You can't seriously expect Winehouse to take personal responsibility for her actions, that's a misogynist concept.

    but i think hugging a native ad or a tree might be more proffitable - don't you

    LOL.

    I probably never admitted that I am responsible for Rome's conquest of Carthage - but I was just following my orders from The Patriarchy.

    Yeah, it was my fault. Sorry.

    According to feminists, men are the only source of their problems. So yeah blame men for everything. that goes bad.

    The concept of personal responsibility is difficult for many women to grasp.

    Lol, why are you taking that seriously, clearly a delusioned Winehouse fan trying to romanticize what happened, shifting blame(teens do it all the time with 1D, Bieber, Ariana Grande, it's always the World's fault).

    Well, in the case of Janis Joplin, someone took another little piece of her heart.
