We put the pressure on to join Men in Sheds

Article here. Women-only spaces, good. Men-only spaces, bad. SSDD. Excerpt:

'It started out as a gathering to reduce loneliness and combat social isolation among elderly men.

Now there are more than 1,000 Men in Sheds projects running across the country, where members get together, talk and learn new skills.

But while many are aimed exclusively at men, one group in Loughborough, Leicestershire, has taken the decision to admit women and members' wives.

Member Brenda Needham said: "I kept asking my husband all the while 'why can't we join?'"'

Britain's girl gang problem

Article here. Most of these girls do no time. Excerpt:

'Fears are mounting over a wave of young girl gangs wreaking havoc across the UK - with offenders launching attacks on vulnerable OAPs, children and police.

Experts say there has been a surge in the number of girls and young women taking part in violence across British communities following a series of high-profile incidents and emergency service alerts - but they too often go untackled, a former Metropolitan Police detective has told MailOnline.

The British Transport Police last week shared images of young female suspects hunted over unprovoked attacks on pensioners on Southeastern rail services.'

Violent clashes in Melbourne after protesters descend on women’s rights rally

Article here. The TRAs are putting MRAs to shame. MRAs should be protesting such events. After all, feminists are known for phoning in threats to venues chosen by MRAs for conferences. Why shouldn't MRAs protest these sorts of events? Excerpt:

'Earlier on Saturday, trans-rights activists and police clashed as protesters roamed the city after gathering to disrupt a women’s rights rally.

Pro-trans protesters moved through the streets from Parliament House, where they played drums and chanted at the Women Will Speak event on the steps outside Victoria’s parliament earlier in the day. About 50 people attended the Women Will Speak event, which drew about 440 protesters, according to Victoria Police.

“Around 40 people then conducted a march across the CBD, blocking intersections with wooden pallets and swarming local retailers,” police said in a statement.'

Tim Walz says Kamala picked him so 'white guys' could have 'permission' to vote for black lady

Article here. Excerpt:

'On Monday, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) said one of the reasons former Vice President Kamala Harris picked him as a running mate was to give white people "permission" to vote for her. Walz made the comments while speaking at Harvard's Kennedy School, where he discussed the future of the Democratic party and Harris's failed 2024 presidential campaign against President Donald Trump.

"I could code talk to white guys - watching football, fixing their truck. I could put them at ease," Walz told the audience. "I was the permission structure to say, 'Look, you can do this and vote for this.'"'

'Rachiel Moore, 27, was found guilty of first degree premeditated murder and tampering with evidence on Thursday, and was immediately sentenced by Santa Rosa Circuit Court Judge Clifton Drake to life in state prison without parole, Florida State Attorney Ginger Bowden Madden said in a press release.

On March 19, 2023, Colby Vinson was fatally shot outside his apartment while unloading groceries with his young daughter, for whom he had been granted shared custody earlier that week, Madden said.

When deputies responded to the crime scene, they found the four-year-old child sitting next to her father’s body, according to a report by WEAR.

Moore’s former stepfather, Jason Curtis, was determined to be the person who shot and killed the 24-year-old man in the presence of his child.'

Damsels in Excess: A Powerful Critique of Modern Feminism, Its Myths, MGTOW and Men's Rights

Just began reading this book, published in late 2024. I've read enough to be able to recommend it. Excerpt:

'For decades, society has been shaped by a matriarchy, a narrative that pushes men aside and elevates women to positions of unchecked power. Damsels in Excess pulls back the curtain on the rise of feminism and its Marxist roots, exploring how a movement originally meant for equality has instead created a world where men are demonized and women are made miserable. This is the book that cuts through the propaganda to reveal the catastrophic consequences of a feminist-driven society.

Domestic violence delusions

Article here. Excerpt:

'“You can’t hand out domestic violence orders like parking tickets.” Well, that’s exactly what they have in mind for residents of our Deep North.

The speaker was Terry O’Gorman from the Queensland Council for Civil Liberties, protesting on television news about the latest domestic violence madness taking over his state. Under sweeping “reforms” announced earlier this month, police officers will be able to hand out 12-month Police Protection Directives on the spot – bypassing current court processes.

The Queensland Police Union has been running a grim television campaign featuring a full screen shot of a closed fist and a vicious, snarling man – making the case that police are drowning in domestic violence cases, which they say comprise up to 90% of their workload.'

The Anti-Male Propaganda in Netflix's Adolescence

Video here.

'In this discussion, Hannah Spier, Janice Fiamengo, and Tom Golden take a critical look at the anti-male messaging embedded in the Netflix series Adolescence. Together, they unpack the show’s characters, storylines, and the implausibility of the events depicted, highlighting how such narratives reinforce harmful cultural stereotypes about boys and men. The conversation shines a light on how entertainment media can quietly shape public perceptions, often portraying male characters as either predatory, weak, or disposable, while sidelining the real experiences and complexities of young men.'

Militants in Indian Kashmir segregate men from women and children before opening fire

Article here. When women are targeted, it's called "gendercide" or "femicide". When men are targeted, it's business as usual. Excerpt:

'Militants who killed 26 people in India's Kashmir region separated the men from the women and children and asked the men their names before shooting them at close range, security officials and survivors said on Wednesday.

About 1,000 tourists and 300 local service providers were in the Baisaran Valley - known as mini Switzerland for its lush hilltop meadow, surrounded by dense pine forests - when three gunmen launched the Tuesday attack, the worst in India in nearly two decades.'

'Andrew Tate phenomena' surges in schools - with boys refusing to talk to female teacher

Article here. Excerpt:

'More than 5,800 teachers were polled as part of the survey by the NASUWT teaching union, and nearly three in five (59%) said they believe social media use has contributed to a deterioration in pupils' behaviour.

Andrew Tate was referenced by a number of teachers who took part in the survey, who said he had negative influence on male pupils.

One teacher said she'd had 10-year-old boys "refuse to speak to [her]...because [she is] a woman".

Another teacher said "the Andrew Tate phenomena had a huge impact on how [pupils at an all-boys school] interacted with females and males they did not see as 'masculine'".

While another respondent to the survey said their school had experienced some incidents of "derogatory language towards female staff...as a direct result of Andrew Tate videos".'

Women who hate men: a comparative analysis across extremist Reddit communities

Article here. Excerpt:

'In the present online social landscape, while misogyny is a well-established issue, misandry remains significantly underexplored. In an effort to rectify this discrepancy and better understand the phenomenon of gendered hate speech, we analyze four openly declared misogynistic and misandric Reddit communities, examining their characteristics at a linguistic, emotional, and structural level. We investigate whether it is possible to devise substantial and systematic discrepancies among misogynistic and misandric groups when heterogeneous factors are taken into account. Our experimental evaluation shows that no systematic differences can be observed when a double perspective, both male-to-female and female-to-male, is adopted, thus suggesting that gendered hate speech is not exacerbated by the perpetrators’ gender, indeed being a common factor of noxious communities.'

Most young Aussie men are turning to masculinity influencers, and it's impacting their mental health

Article here. Excerpt:

'Online "masculinity" content is mainstream and wide-ranging — far broader than the toxic Andrew Tate style manosphere or incel culture touched on in the hit Netflix series Adolescence.

It includes fitness and wellbeing, relationship and career advice, personal discipline and self-improvement.

A new report out today shows more than two thirds (68 per cent) of young Australian men engage with masculinity influencers and it's shaping their identity.

The Movember Institute of Men's Health surveyed more than 3,000 men aged 16 to 25 across Australia, the UK and the US to find out what impact such content was having on their lives.

"We came in with a health lens. That is the key here. No one has done that," said Dr Zac Seidler, global director of men's health research at Movember.

He said getting rid of content on social media because it was "dangerous" was unhelpful, as there was no causal evidence to suggest that was the answer.'

Shock court ruling for snarly sorority girl who pepper sprayed Uber driver

Article here. Excerpt:

'The former sorority girl who attacked a Muslim Uber driver with pepper spray in New York City received a shockingly light punishment after taking a plea deal.

Jennifer Guilbeault, 23, was filmed spraying mace on 45-year-old Shohel Mahmud during a hate-fueled late-night ride in Midtown Manhattan on July 31.

Disturbing footage captured Guilbeault stepping toward the driver's seat and unleashing the pepper spray on Mahmud.

She was charged with a hate crime for the assault but vehemently denied her actions were motivated by race.

Guilbeault appeared subdued in court on Monday. She wore a buttoned-up cream sweater and black pants, and her long hair was tucked behind her ears.

She entered a plea deal to a lesser charge of second-degree aggravated harassment at the hearing and was granted minor consequences for the attack.
