Paul Elam has thoughtfully posted some videos from the ICMI24 conference on YouTube. You can find them by going to YouTube and searching on "ICMI24". All of them are good. One that especially caught my ear had to do with the connection between population control and feminism, here. Enjoy!

Article here. Excerpt:

'Researchers say the United States is dealing with an “epidemic” of male loneliness. Though, as Los Angeles Times columnist Jean Guerrero notes, shocking numbers of men feel that no one “knows” them. Worse, Guerrero says the data shows that men are “less skilled than women at making friends.” This is the case despite a long effort to socialize boys. In fact, according to Guerrero, “Young men, who tend to be more progressive and are presumably more comfortable with intimacy than their elders, are … the most isolated.” How can this be?

'It's a question of fairness in parenting.

A federal lawsuit — which could set new precedent — names judges and the Tennessee Attorney General on the issue of child custody.

That lawsuit argues that state law is unfairly biased against fathers, and is unconstitutional.

Historically, often with good reason, judges have favored the mother in child custody cases.

But times have changed, and one middle Tennessee man says the law unfairly excludes fathers from their children's lives.

Dr. Scott Wilson loves his daughter.

He and her mother never married, but they lived together since their child was born.'

'Democratic Senator Chris Murphy argued that Democrats had ceded the conversation on masculinity to Republicans. “We certainly should believe that masculinity can exist side by side with feminism, but we’ve got to acquire a language to talk to boys and men about the future of maleness, and right now we don’t have it,” Murphy said. “I do not think the majority of men believe that women should be removed from the workplace, but they notice when Democrats aren’t talking about addressing some of the real crises that exist in male identity today.”'

'Frontline police officers and detectives routinely show courage when confronting the violent, dangerous and heinous. So you’d think police chiefs might be willing to really ask themselves whether their force is as impartial as many of them claim.

Putting aside relatively complex operational matters, such as the policing of protests and the response to crime itself, perhaps we can just examine the track record of the administration in some forces.

In just the last five years, British policing has plenty of examples of veering off course.

We’ve seen Cheshire Constabulary found guilty of discrimination on the basis of not just race, but sexual orientation and sex too. The force rejected a prospective police officer because he was – put simply – a white heterosexual man.

'Madison Bergmann’s ex-fiancé still speaks to the Wisconsin fifth-grade teacher — even after she was busted for allegedly “making out” with an 11-year-old in her classroom, according to friends.

“They still talk, as far as I know,” says a pal, who was invited to the couple’s now-canceled July 27 wedding.

“But obviously, everything has changed. He was betrayed in a really big way, but he was madly in love, and you can’t just turn that off.”

Now, Bergmann is hiding on her grandparents’ farm and avoiding most of her former friends — including the bridal party from her aborted ceremony.

“She seems embarrassed to face us,” the friend tells The Post. “She’s ghosted everyone, which is kind of to be expected.”

Bergmann, 24, has been charged with first-degree child sexual assault of a child under age 13.'

Good vid on this topic by Tom G. here. Tom discusses how 80% of suicides are men and boys yet it seems to be getting attention only because of the recent uptick in suicides among girls.

Article here. Excerpt:

'The new Labour Party government in Britain is reportedly planning on treating “extreme misogyny” in the same manner as terrorism amid a supposed rise of radicalisation of young men on the internet.

Teachers, healthcare professionals, and local officials in Britain may become legally obligated to report young men to the government’s Prevent counter-terror programme in the same manner as Islamic terrorism or far-right radicalism if they are suspected of “extreme misogyny,” The Telegraph reports.

Under the programme, those referred to Prevent are assessed by police and their local authority to determine if they are in need of deradicalisation training.

According to The Guardian, British boys are already being reported to the counterextremism programme by their schools for repeating Tate’s views or for “verbal harassment” of female teachers.

'An honor flight for women who served in the U.S. armed forces could soon be coming to the U.P.

U.P. Honor Flight brings veterans to Washington, D.C., to see the memorials for the wars they fought in. Most of the veterans who take advantage of the opportunity are men, but the organization is looking to change that. If there’s enough interest, it’s considering a women‘s-only flight next May.

U.P. Honor Flight says a women’s only flight could make women feel safer.

“I think we’re going to get a better response from the women population doing an all-women veteran flight,” said U.P. Honor Flight President Scott Knauf.'

YT video here. YT channel "The Why Minutes" takes on explaining things. In this case they take on the demise of the BSA.

Article here. Excerpt:

'The 2024 vote was set to be a referendum on the rights of women. Instead it has become a debate over the needs and desires of men. The question now is which model of manhood will win in November. The macho brawler of the Trump-Vance ticket, or the kindly “girl dad” offered by Harris and Walz? The fighter or the coach?
...
For Democrats, the first step is simply to acknowledge the reality of the problems facing American men. The facts here are stark. Boys and men are lagging at every stage of the education system, with massive gaps opening up on college campuses. Wages for working-class men have stagnated, along with their marital prospects. White men raised poor are much worse off if they were born in 1992 than in 1978, according to the latest work from Harvard economist Raj Chetty. The male suicide rate is four times higher than for women, and claims 40,000 men a year. The suicide rate among men under age 30 has risen by 40% since 2010.

Article here. Then there's openly anti-male discrimination, too. Excerpt:

'There’s a growing cohort of Gen-Zers who are rejecting life’s major milestones and becoming NEETs—that is, “not in employment, education, or training”. Many of them are college-educated men.

One in five young people around the world are currently NEETs, according to the International Labour Organization. In the U.S., this jumps to about 11.2% of young adults. Meanwhile in the U.K., almost 3 million Gen-Zers are now classed as economically inactive.
...
Despite having just graduated, 1 in 5 men under the age of 25 are unemployed, Bloomberg’s analysis shows. And they’re not actively looking for work, either.

While the share of Gen Z female college grads participating in the workforce has steadily increased, the participation rate for their male counterparts has nose-dived.
...
“Women tend to be more flexible in accepting job offers, even if they're not perfectly aligned with their career goals or are part-time or they are overqualified for,” he says.

Article here. Excerpt:

'Federally-subsidized activists claim a Christian pro-life group is a “hate movement” and that most haters are white people, namely white boys and men.

The Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) published its blacklist after receiving $640,000 from Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge’s department and others for “research,” per Blacklock’s Reporter.

“We define ‘hate-promoting’ to refer to ideologies, groups, movements and individuals which target members of protected groups,” said the CAHN booklet entitled 40 Ways To Fight The Far-Right.

It included what the activists call a “non-exhaustive list of the kinds of far-right and hate movements we have seen in Canada in the last few years.”

Pro-life Catholic advocacy group Campaign Life Coalition and its affiliated LifeSiteNews were blacklisted along with neo-Nazis and skinheads. Minister St-Onge did not comment.'
