'This video examines the damage caused by feminists in positions of national power in Sweden. The title, Cancel Nation: How Well-Meaning Women and Fake Feminists Brought Down the Most Liberal Nation, appears to be written by someone attempting to excuse or rationalize the pathological decisions of Sweden's feminized legislators. However, the content speaks for itself.
The comments section of the video is particularly revealing. Here’s one from a Swedish man who has had enough:
...
Many commenters noted that these were not “fake” feminists but the genuine variety. I agree. This video offers a stark look at the consequences of allowing feminist ideologies to dominate national policy. We must work to limit feminist and woke influence and call it out whenever possible.'

'The Dallas Wings have stirred controversy once more with the appointment of Chris Koclanes as their new head coach. As the fifth male to hold this position in a league championing women’s sports, Koclanes’ hiring has once again sparked heated discussions about sexism in the WNBA. The move has ignited fan backlash, with many questioning the league’s commitment to empowering women, given the increasing number of men at the helm of WNBA teams.
According to a recent Instagram post by the WNBA, the @DallasWings announced Koclanes as their new head coach. Koclanes, who is currently an assistant coach for the USC Trojans, brings a wealth of experience, having served as an assistant coach in the WNBA and Division I women’s basketball.
One fan summed up the general sentiment succinctly, “Here come all the men.” This comment reflects a growing frustration over the trend of hiring male coaches in a league that was founded to showcase the talents of women.

'A HMRC worker who branded her female boss 'sexist' when she said in a meeting that she wanted a granddaughter so she could buy 'pink dresses' has lost a discrimination claim, an employment tribunal heard.
Rachel Gladstone demanded that team leader Sandra Edwards apologise, asking that she 'keep the overt spoilt pink baby girl princess sexism for your private and family life'.
Ms Gladstone added that it was a 'triggering' subject for her as she had spent time while raising her own daughter to counteract the 'pink is for girls' culture, which she described as 'mildly damaging when taken to extremes'.
The comments - made in a series of emails - led bosses to launch disciplinary proceedings against admin worker Ms Gladstone, then 52, over her behaviour at work for which she received a written warning.
This prompted her to resign and to sue HMRC for unfair constructive dismissal and disability discrimination.

'Diabetes, age, genetics, heart problems — all these factors have been linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
Structural sexism could also contribute to the deadly disease, per a new study.
The concept refers to sweeping trends — such as unequal pay at work, less workplace participation, a lack of representation in state legislature and laws that limit reproductive freedoms — that largely impact women in a negative way.
Women born in states with higher levels of structural sexism experienced the equivalent of nine years of cognitive aging. Researchers — the study was done by Columbia University, Duke University School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin and University of California, San Francisco, scientists — think these findings can at least partially explain why women are more likely than men to suffer from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Black women are particularly hard hit.'

'Baldwin County Assistant District Attorney Patrick Doggett told jurors during his opening statement that they will hear testimony that Lofton’s wife, who worked at the restaurant, told her husband about the supposed rape and that she went as far as using a second cell phone to manufacture an incriminating text message string purporting to be from Mallette.
Doggett said Lofton the day before had called the Daphne Police Department’s non-emergency line to report the rape but that the woman – even after the shooting – was vague about the details of the allegations and uncooperative.
On the phone call to police, Doggett said, the defendant said he might have to handle it if they could not. The prosecutor said other evidence, including surveillance video, puts Lofton on the scene.
Defense attorney Trey Koons to told jurors during his opening statement that the case is not as “black and white” as prosecutors make it out to be. He directed the blame at his client’s wife.

'“This was a really damaging instance that hurt those boys’ lives and impacted them for decades, so I don’t want to downplay how tragic it is from that perspective, but I do hope that people put it into context of this is far from the norm,” says Scott Berkowitz, president of non-profit anti-sexual violence organization Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN).
“For every false report, there is a far greater number of reports both that are truthful and people who experienced rape who never reported. That’s a much bigger national problem.”
A study published by the journal Violence Against Women in 2010 found that false allegations of sexual assault range from between 2% to 10% of assaults reported. A majority of sexual assaults, an estimated 63%, are never reported to the police, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.'

This article is gynocentrism and nymphotropism in action. The editorial bias is glaring to anyone with eyes to see. Excerpt:
'Historically, “Ladies’ Nights” have been great for business.
The discounted drinks or meals tend to draw a large crowd of women, which in turn tends to draw more men — which then leads to packed bars and increased sales for the business.
But a family-run restaurant in the San Francisco Bay Area is shutting down this week because it can’t afford to operate after it settled a “Ladies’ Night” discrimination lawsuit, CNN affiliate KGO reported last week. John Marquez, the chef and owner of Lima Restaurant in Concord, told the outlet that it hasn’t been able to bounce back after settling a lawsuit over a promotion that discounted drinks for women.

From July but it's definitely a good ICYMI post. Article here. Excerpt:
'To understand this process, it's essential to examine how men are influenced by gynocentrism. Testosterone drives men to seek status, which is crucial in attracting women as mates. Higher status means more reproductive choices. Because of this, men strive to impress women to earn their admiration, working hard to prove their high status. Men seek women's approval and avoid their disapproval, as both impact their perceived status. This is driven by biological imperatives.
Equally significant is the social conditioning over thousands of years, where men are taught to prioritize providing for and protecting women. From a young age, cultural norms emphasize respecting and supporting women, reinforcing men's role as providers and protectors. These biological and social factors combine, creating a powerful, instinctual drive in men to support, protect, and demonstrate their value as capable problem-solvers and valuable assets to women.'

'James Norton, the Happy Valley star who has been heavily linked to James Bond, thinks men should be proactive when confronting the MeToo movement.
Norton told the Radio Times magazine that the “modern man” was living in a time where there was an “attempt to rebalance the patriarchal crimes of the past.”
He argued that some men wrongly think they should be “passive” about misconduct when they should actually step up in a post-MeToo world.
“What interested me was the question of what it is to be a modern man, post-MeToo, with the attempt to rebalance the patriarchal crimes of the past,” he said.
“With a lot of men, there’s a misconception that what we should be doing is making space, stepping back and almost becoming passive.”
Norton said this is a realization that dawns on his character Pete, who decides he must confront the bullying and controlling character of Miles (James McArdle). He added: “You have to be proactive and, sometimes, confrontational.”'

'It is a term used by Dr Jilly Kay, an expert in feminist media and cultural studies at Loughborough University, in a paper published earlier this year. Kay has been researching a reactionary turn among young women, and how a backlash against mainstream feminism has created new spaces online. In the femosphere, instead of “incels” – male involuntary celibates – there are “femcels”, and instead of pickup artists there are female dating strategists and so-called “dark feminine” influencers who encourage women to find men to support them financially.
Most corners of the femosphere explicitly describe themselves as feminist, so Kay said she was surprised to see that their values seemed conservative, and their philosophy mostly anti-gender equality.
She said: “The logic that they adhere to is that men and women are fundamentally different.”'

'Gov. Maura Healey on Monday signed an executive order aimed at boosting women’s employment in the construction industry, and she celebrated the effort with what could be one of her final public collaborations with the Biden administration.
The order ( Executive Order 638) will direct state agencies issuing construction contracts to “do it in a way that we know creates better access to jobs for women and minorities,” Healey said at the event inside Sheet Metal Workers Local 17's Training Center.
That will translate to utilizing apprenticeship programs that boost women and people of color, the governor said, along with safety and anti-harassment training programs and supportive services like child care.
The order created a new body -- the “Diverse and Equitable Construction Workforce Participation Committee” -- which Healey said would coordinate the effort across state agencies and monitor projects over $35 million.'

The initiative, spearheaded by the RPF, focuses on protecting women passengers and ensuring their right to travel without fear or intimidation, he said.
The ER official said that between December 15 and 20, an intensive drive across Howrah, Sealdah, Malda and Asansol divisions of Eastern Railway led to the apprehension and prosecution of 304 men under the provisions of the Railway Act for unauthorised travel in women-only coaches.'

'Why do boys disproportionately fall into the bottom tenth?
Fascinatingly, Autor and his colleagues found that boys suffered much more than girls from “adverse child-rearing conditions” and “that less favorable home environments differentially raise the prevalence of adverse outcomes among boys relative to girls.”
The consequences?
“Because these adverse outcomes are determinative of high school dropout rates,” they wrote, “this differential sensitivity could help explain the large gender gap in dropping out.”'

'Women are disproportionately more likely to get Alzheimer's than men, which has long been attributed to living longer and genetic differences.
But now, a new study from Columbia University Irving Medical Center has blamed a new cause: sexism.
Researcher, who reviewed data on more than 21,000 people, said that inequality in access to resources and power was causing damaging changes in women's brains that leads to dementia.
They found that women in America's 'most sexist' states had nine extra years of cognitive decline compared to their peers in the country's least sexist states.
Dr Justina Avila-Rieger, an associate scientist who lead the study, said: 'Our findings suggest that addressing social inequities may be a powerful way to lower the burden of Alzheimer's among women.
'What we... know is that structural inequalities shape individual health outcomes by creating barriers to health-enhancing opportunities and resources.
