Did you hear about this feminist who mocked male suicide and then whose own son committed suicide?

Question

Feminist journalist Julie Burchill, 1999:
"That young men succeed in suicide more often than girls isn't really the point. Indeed, the more callous among us would say that it was quite nice for young men finally to find something that they're better at than girls." "The last time I suggested that suicides should be left to get on with it, I received a small number of letters from people whose sons had killed themselves. All of them demanded an apology. I'd advise them this time to save their stamps because, you see, I don't care."   

In 2015...
 

Does she wonder why her son became mentally ill in the first place? And women do you ever worry that your feminism is going to lead to the deaths of men you love? Or do you think it will only be the men you don't care about who will be harmed?

i'm not feminist, feminism went down the drain, we are supposed to be equal, we are equal in my eyes, feminist are seeming to try to become the superior which it incorrect to do. I don't understand why people whine so much i really don't. Rights as they are now are the best they have ever been (as far as im concerned) We all get an education, we all can vote, we all have chances, we all get healthcare, anyone can own a home, anyone can pay bills, Eras and eras, generations and generations of women, men, black people, white people, Asians, homosexuals, transgender, genderfluid, disabled, everyone has fought hard to get the rights we have now and still you whine, how dare people whine!

men in middle class and below. Do you have the right to vote? Yes, centuries ago you didn't.
Women do you have a right to education? Yes, decades ago you didn't.
Black people do you have the right to freedom? Yes, you do.
Every race, religion, gender, sex, sexuality, disability, every culture, every different thing in the world has gone through so god damn much to get to where we are today, learn to appreciate it its a lot better than it used to be , a lot better than the people of the past had it. Don't just focus on feminism. NOT only women fought, everyone fought for rights. Remember all who fought to get rights, we all deserve them, we should all be remembered.

Stop whining you have rights, your life is better than it would of been before, so suck it up and appreciate the world you live in.

thats all i have to say on the matter

Daaaaamn. I don't worry that my feminism is going to lead to the deaths of men. She shouldn't be able to call herself a feminist, that's awful.

I didn't read all the way through both. Does she feel guilty at all?
While he may have been mentally ill without her help, growing up around women (especially ones own mother) with a toxic view of men is certainly going to shove a guy from the time they are a young boy into dark corners.
