Men should take medicine for their violence against women!

Cool so you didn't actually read anything I said. That's not what the study said at all. It found that in select groups of men the usage of an antidepressant can decrease the occurrence of domestic violence. If anything this is an advertisement for the treatment of men's mental health.

What am I to take away from that title as a man?

Idk man maybe read the fucking article instead?

If you are in favor of civil rights, you don't profess the equality of only whatever specific group you happen to personally belong to

I'm a man, and I do favor civil rights for all people.

If you took the time to read the article you'd see the test group was selected from people through courts and prisons. Participation was voluntary and no one is using these results to force medicate the entire male population.

Maybe read the article next time?
