'This video explores The Psychology of Men Who Walk Away from Society’s Script — a silent rebellion many men are living today, not with protests or noise, but with quiet withdrawals from a life that feels fake.'

'When a group of legislatures in Washington State decided to forgo a hearing about a commission on the status of boys and men (HB 1266 and SB 5446) in February and made the same decision in years past, it became clear that there was something much more ill-natured at work.

After-all, a hearing is only one step in the process of adding a new law or changing an existing law. Hearings allow legislators to sit back and listen to expert testimony, ask questions, and hear public statements about those impacted by a potential bill. The process also allows voters to see how a policymaker votes—something many policymakers fear when it comes to the political backlash that happens when it comes to supporting boys and supporting men.'

'The Boy Scouts of America has a Chief Diversity Officer & Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion. The organization requires all Eagle Scouts to earn a badge in diversity, equity, and inclusion. It admitted girls to its program for 11- to 17-year-old boys in 2019 and changed the name of that program from the Boy Scouts to Scouts BSA. The word “boy” has been routed from the organization’s promotional materials and replaced with “youth,” as in: “For more than 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath.”

'Women consistently show strong in-group bias. They support each other socially, emotionally, and politically. They instinctively identify with the struggles of other women. This solidarity forms the backbone of movements, activism, academic departments, and public policy. When a woman sees another woman being mistreated, her response is often immediate: “That could’ve been me.”

'A 22-year-old nursery worker has been convicted of abusing 21 babies, including kicking one little boy in the face and stepping on his shoulder.

Roksana Lecka, from Hounslow, west London, admitted seven counts of cruelty to a person under the age of 16 and was found guilty of another 14 by a jury at Kingston Crown Court, the Metropolitan Police said.

Her crimes were discovered in June last year after she was sent home for pinching a number of children and appearing "flustered" at the Riverside Nursery in Twickenham, south-west London, the Crown Prosecution Service said.

Solicitor Jemma Till from Irwin Mitchell said the families involved had been "traumatised".

Lecka will be sentenced at Kingston Crown Court on 26 September.

Detectives from the Met Police went through CCTV from the nursery that showed her pinching and scratching children under their clothes on their arms, legs and stomachs.'

'Indian police dragged Hasan Shah from his bed in western India one morning in late April. Later, he said, officers bound his hands with rope, placed a blindfold over his eyes and put him on a boat bound for Bangladesh.

After three days at sea, Shah said, they stood him on the edge of the vessel with a life vest, untied his hands, uncovered his eyes and gave him a final order at gunpoint: “Jump into the water,” Shah remembered the officers saying.

“If you look back, we’ll shoot you.”

'The reality is that women mate hypergamously, meaning they only find men “appealing” if they make as much money or more than they do. Women with college degrees prefer men with college degrees or higher education. They will even marry men without college degrees, but only if they make more money than they do. But women simply do not find men who make less than they do appealing.

And over the past 50 years, the percentage of women who outearn men has risen substantially. According to the Congressional Research Service, the real wage of the average woman has risen almost 30% while the real wage of the average man has decreased by 3%. Now, for college-educated men, the story is different. The average real wage of men with a college degree has risen substantially. But only 37% of men have a college degree, and that number is falling. At the same time, the percentage of women with a college degree already surpasses men (39%) and continues to rise.'

'Alleged dirty teacher Christina Formella and her husband were all smiles in court as she tried to convince a judge to let her move closer to the ex-student whom she is accused sexually abusing more than 50 times.

Formella, 30, swished into a DuPage County courtroom holding hands with hubby Michael on Wednesday morning. Neither of the Formellas answered questions about the case that has shocked suburban Chicago.

“Michael was holding her hand the entire time. They were smiling at each other, literally smiling at each other the entire time until she got up,” one courtroom spy who sat directly behind the couple told The Post. “They look really confident.”'

'The Royal Hospital School (RHS) in Suffolk is running 90 minute sessions to help families talk to their sons about resisting dark messages from the web.

Irfan Latif, headmaster of the 300-year-old institution, said private schools have a ‘responsibility’ to counter misogynistic narratives.

And he advocated promoting positive male role models such as Atticus Finch, the hero of To Kill a Mockingbird, as an ‘alternative’ to harmful figures on social media.

RHS, which charges up to £46,000 a year for boarders and is part of the elite HMC private schools group, was the alma mater of hero explorer Ernest Joyce.

Mr Latif said: ‘We have not had any particular issues or incidents at RHS, but as educators we have a duty to be proactive.

‘The workshops are about equipping our pupils, and their parents, to navigate the pressures of modern masculinity before problems arise.’

'The Southern Poverty Law Center’s Report/Dismantling White Supremacy – How Male Supremacy Provided the Foundation for Hate in 2023, reads as follows: “This year, the SPLC documented nine male supremacist hate groups, including several abortion abolitionist groups, a popular misogynist incel community, and the National Coalition for Men.” Without a shred factual evidence, the SPLC labeled us a “male supremacist hate group,” an absurd, inflammatory, and defamatory label we categorically reject as a very woke falsehood.

For over four decades, NCFM has advanced gender equality, legal fairness, and the well-being of boys and girls, men and women, and their families through evidence-based advocacy, education, and relevant dialogue. The SPLC’s defamatory designation ignores the core of our mission and our many accomplishments in achieving equality for the sexes and conflates advocacy with extremism. Disagreement is fine, libel crosses the line.'

'The annual tribal “initiation ceremony” where teenage males in South Africa undergo painful circumcision has begun – despite it ending in 93 horrific deaths last year.

Gruesome injuries also led to a further 11 penis amputations after unskilled traditional “surgeons” used old spears and razor blades to perform eye-watering rituals.'

'I recently read a New York Times article by Rachel Drucker titled “Men, Where Have You Gone? Please Come Back.” The subtitle reads: “So many men have retreated from intimacy, hiding behind firewalls, filters and curated personas, dabbling and scrolling. We miss you.”

In the article, Drucker shares a personal story about meeting a man named James online. Things started off well—but then James disappeared. From there, she explores her ideas of why so many men seem to be withdrawing from relationships and intimacy.'

'Researchers provide novel insights into female psychopathy, challenging the conventional 6:1 male-to-female psychopath ratio with new evidence suggesting a closer 1.2:1 ratio.

The research indicates that societal gender biases have obscured the true nature and prevalence of female psychopaths, who often employ manipulation and seduction rather than violence to achieve their goals. This revelation not only calls for a reassessment of psychopathy across genders but also signals significant implications for criminal justice and corporate leadership.'

'Mr Munroe said it had been a tough week for everyone working in child care, but male educators in particular.

And some advocates have said exactly that and called for men to be banned from the profession.

Mr Munroe said he was worried about other men in the field, especially those at high school thinking about a career in child care, part-way through training, or those working in less supported centres.

He is now looking at ways to support the "many good male educators out there".

"I'm thinking about … maybe opening a support group for male educators, just to let them know that there are a lot of really good ones out there."'
