'People’s lives are diverse, and so are their wants and desires and circumstances. It’s hard, and perhaps impossible, to identify a tiny number of factors that explain hundreds of millions of people’s decisions to couple up, split apart, or remain single. But according to Lyman Stone, a researcher at the Institute for Family Studies, the most important reason marriage and coupling are declining in the U.S. is actually quite straightforward: Many young men are falling behind economically.

This vid (registration on Rumble required) is from March 2024 but is still very timely. In it a man (a leader in the MRM, Ed Bartlett) is interviewed to discuss what are some men's issues and what are he and others doing to raise awareness. Worth registering to see it.

'An influential Silicon Valley publication runs a cover story lamenting the “pussification” of tech. A major tech CEO lambasts a Black civil rights leader’s calls for diversifying the tech workforce. Technologists rage against the “PC police”.

No, this isn’t Silicon Valley in the age of Maga. It’s the tech industry of the 1990s, when observers first raised concerns about the rightwing bend of Silicon Valley and the potential for “technofascism”. Despite the industry’s (often undeserved) reputation for liberalism, its reactionary foundations were baked in almost from the beginning. As Silicon Valley enters a second Trump administration, the gendered roots of its original reactionary movement offer insight into today’s rightward turn.'

'In one of Shyminsky’s TikTok videos he says if you’re a man who believes it’s your duty to protect women then you require dangerous men to exist; as such, you’re not actually working toward a world in which such people do not exist.

In other words, such a man’s “self actualization is opposed to women’s liberation” — that “being a good man also requires you to be a bad one.”

Shyminsky further claims men who believe it their duty to protect women are the real danger: “You are one of the bad ones for some other woman’s good man,” he says.'

'Feminism is facing a backlash, with women’s rights being rolled back in many countries and a significant number of people saying feminism has gone far enough or even too far. Yet women still face basic obstacles to education in some countries and are generally paid less than men. They still suffer from male violence and, in some places, face increasing restrictions to reproductive rights. There are even some places where families force midwives to kill their newborn girls.

Many women are also fed up with doing both a full-time job and the lion’s share of domestic duties and unpaid caring jobs. It’s easy to wonder whether gender equality is simply impossible, especially as many men inaccurately perceive that gains for women equate losses for men.

'A French woman has won a ruling from Europe’s top human rights court, with a panel of seven judges unanimously saying she should not have been blamed in her divorce for not having sex with her husband.

The European Court of Human Rights judgment ruled that the woman — known as Ms. H.W. in court documents in keeping with European protocol — suffered a violation of Article 8 under the European Convention on Human Rights, the right to respect for family and private life.

The case centered on the divorce between the woman, a French national born in 1955 who lives in Le Chesnay, near Versailles, and her husband, known in court records as Mr. J.C.'

Instead they prioritize females above all else. Predictable. "Women and children first!" The children I understand. Not the women. Excerpt:

'Israel is preparing to receive on Saturday four female soldiers held hostage by Hamas.

The militant group said Friday that it intends to release Karina Ariev, 20, Daniella Gilboa, 20, Naama Levy, 20, and Liri Albag, 19.

Israeli officials have told the families of the four women that they intend to move forward with the release – despite the fact that Israel had previously expected Arbel Yehud, a female civilian hostage still held in Gaza, to be included in Saturday’s release.

'Justin Baldoni would seem to be a bogeyman for America’s right wing. He broke out as a heartthrob on the satirical telenovela Jane the Virgin, known for its progressive themes, and then branded himself as one of the country’s foremost male feminists on his Man Enough podcast, the tagline for which was “undefining masculinity.”

But after Blake Lively, who starred opposite him in his directorial hit It Ends with Us, alleged workplace mistreatment including sexual harassment, he’s been unyoked from “woke.” In fact, he’s become an unexpected new conservative cause celebre as a growing contingent of commentators take his side.'

'As we can see, in the post-Vietnam years, women flooded into the service and took up roles that were traditionally filled by men. They did a pretty good job of it — so much that the military realized non-combat jobs could and should be performed by women.

There were two lessons we learned from Iraq. The first was that when you put women in combat roles, they rose to the task. The second was, why beg straight white men to serve when gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans are so willing to?'

'A recent study published in Sex Roles reveals that “strategic masculine disinvestment,” a process where men intentionally distance themselves from traditional masculine ideals, is linked to poorer psychosocial functioning, including higher levels of distress and anger.

Jessica Pfaffendorf and Terrence Hill examined how changes in masculinity, including the shift away from hegemonic masculinity, marked by traits like stoicism and assertiveness, intersect with broader social changes. As structural support for traditional masculinity erodes, men are increasingly adopting alternative identity strategies.

The researchers analyzed data from the 2021 Crime, Health, and Politics Survey (CHAPS), which included a nationally representative sample of 803 men (ages 18-91) from the United States. To assess strategic masculine disinvestment, participants indicated whether they sometimes acted “less manly” because it helped them get ahead in the world.

'California State University changed a program that was only open to men of color to now be open to all students, following a complaint filed to the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights.

"Cal State, like most universities, has very large bureaucracies devoted towards preventing and remedying discrimination," Cornell professor William Jacobson and founder of the Equal Protection Project, told Fox News Digital. "So how is it that the university as a system engages in open discrimination?"

The complaint, filed Nov. 19, 2024, by Jacobson and the Equal Protection Project, claimed that 23 campuses at California State University operated a "Young Males of Color Consortium."'

'Zuckerberg also reportedly “blamed his former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, for an inclusivity initiative at Facebook that encouraged employees’ self-expression in the workplace.”

I mean, at one level, it’s actually a perfect example of masculine energy to not own your decisions and instead blame them on a woman who was your subordinate. But it’s a kind of masculine energy — if you want to call it that — that’s pretty damn pathetic.

That’s the other weird thing about all these “manly men” and how they perform masculinity. Not only does it involve a ton of whining and blame-shifting, but it also involves abject levels of, dare I say, emasculating subservience.

All these “manly men” are so eager to submit to the awesome will of Trump while simultaneously bragging about their superhuman feats. Whether it’s all the pushups you can allegedly do, in Hegseth’s case, or claiming you are one of the best video gamers in the universe, as Elon Musk has recently done.'

'A Pennsylvania woman said she falsely accused an innocent man she never met of trying to rape and kidnap her all because he looked 'creepy'.

Anjela Borisova Urumova, 20, pleaded guilty on Thursday to filing a false police report against 41-year-old Daniel Pierson, whom she accused of attempting to kidnap and rape her.

Pierson was held on a $1 million bail, charged with multiple felonies and spent a month in jail as a result of the false claims.'

'The term ‘misandry‘ has been increasingly mentioned in recent weeks. While the term has been deeply embedded in the manosphere’s vocabulary for long, following the Atul Subhash suicide, it has gained renewed traction. It has since spilt outside of MRA/manosphere circles, with many claiming that women, society, and institutions exhibit misandrist tendencies and systematically favour women and disfavour men.

The manosphere’s use of the term, or its insistence that it’s the inverse of misogyny and is just as, if not more, prevalent, isn’t new. The dominant narrative within the Indian manosphere seems to be that men face systemic persecution at the hands of women and in a system that is created for their sole benefit. What’s troubling, however, is the use and acceptance of the term outside of the manosphere and how it has penetrated common parlance as the opposite of misogyny.'

'Last year marked the first time in several years that the Army achieved its ambitious recruiting goals -- primarily due to an increase in female recruits, according to internal service data reviewed by Military.com.

Nearly 10,000 women signed up for active duty in 2024, an 18% jump from the previous year, while male recruitment increased by just 8%, the data shows. The hike comes as the service continues to struggle with recruiting men, who have traditionally filled the bulk of its ranks but have become more of a challenge to enlist in recent years.

The numbers mark the continuation of a trend reported in a Military.com investigation that found a yearslong Army recruiting slump was centered around men, while female recruiting numbers have remained relatively strong. They also point to young women as an increasingly vital recruiting pool, especially as young men are struggling to meet the Army's eligibility requirements.'
