'Words like empowerment, agency, and choice slip into our sentences without a second thought. They sound wholesome, but they carry a worldview: that morality begins with women’s feelings, that men must prove their virtue, and that harmony means protecting one sex from the other.

It’s not hypocrisy; it’s inheritance. After decades of dominance, feminism has become the cultural air we breathe. Even those who push back against it often do so in its moral vocabulary, defending traditional roles in the same language that once dismantled them. How can we expect to heal the divide between the sexes and create a pro-women landscape for both when all men hear in our voices is more feminism?

'The coalition government is hoping a new bill agreed upon last week will help make this a reality, bolstering Germany’s forces in the face of the perceived threat from Russia and a significant shift in US foreign policy.

The sweeping new reforms will see Germany attempt to boost its numbers to 260,000 soldiers, up from around 180,000 currently, in addition to an extra 200,000 reservists, by 2035.

In the first instance, the drive will focus on voluntary enlistment, with greater incentives for those who sign up, including a monthly starting salary of €2,600 ($3,000) – an increase of €450 from the current level.

If the new quotas are not met, the government will have the option of mandatory call-ups, where necessary.'

'There are millions of compassionate and loving people in the United States who have been given erroneous information about domestic violence. Over the years the media and academia have offered a steady stream of information that indicates that women are the only victims of domestic violence and men the only perpetrators. We have all been deceived. What most don’t know is that a part of that deception has been intentional and has come from the scientific community. As hard as it is to believe it is indisputable. Most of us had no idea of this deception until recently. More and more is now coming out about the symmetry of victimization in domestic violence between men and women.

'Happy International Men's Day! It's a perfect day to acknowledge the relentless war on masculinity? Here we go!

In this video I sit down with four people I deeply respect to talk about a book I think is going to matter: The Relentless War on Masculinity: When Will It End? by David Maywald.

Joining me are:

Dr. Jim Nuzzo – health researcher from Perth and author of The Nuzzo Letter, who’s been quietly but steadily documenting how men’s health is sidelined.

Dr. Hannah Spier – an anti-feminist psychiatrist (yes, you heard that right) and creator of Psychobabble, who pulls no punches about female accountability and the mental-health system.

Lisa Britton – writer for Evie Magazine and other outlets, one of the few women bringing men’s issues into women’s media and mainstream conversation.

David Maywald – husband, father of a son and a daugh ter, long-time advocate for boys’ education and men’s wellbeing, and now author of The Relentless War on Masculinity.'

Article here. This is big news even though ES is a small country. It sets a precedent. Excerpt:

'President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador has signed into law a controversial measure requiring mandatory DNA testing for all children at birth to verify biological parentage.

Bukele defended the law, stating it is “not against women, but against lies,” aimed at preventing men from unknowingly raising children who are not biologically theirs. The Genetic Verification System Law mandates that all tests be conducted in certified laboratories, with the state covering costs for low-income families.

The law has sparked widespread debate. Supporters praise it as a step toward family transparency and protecting paternal rights, while critics warn it represents state overreach and raises ethical and privacy concerns.

El Salvador is now the first country in Latin America to implement a nationwide, mandatory genetic verification system for civil registration.'

Why We Must Keep an Open Mind Toward International Men's Day

To The Men The World Overlooks

The National Coalition For Men Celebrates Men and Boys on International Men’s Day 2025

The new book, "The Relentless War On Masculinity: Does It Ever End?" is available now in multiple formats. Take a look here.

Article here. Excerpt:

'Measuring gender gaps is challenging. For one thing, distributions overlap even when there is a gap at the average. In the U.S., median female earnings are 18 percentage points lower than male earnings, but 40% of women earn more than the median man. Women live five years longer than men on average, but 36% of men live longer than the median woman. Analyzing gender gaps across different subgroups also complicates the picture: white women now earn considerably more than Black men, for example (at the average, of course).

Another potential difficulty is whether to focus only on gender gaps in one direction. The term “gender gap” is typically used to show inequalities where women are worse off than men. Many institutions and scholars focus on these gender gaps. But of course many gender gaps run the other way; these gaps are highlighted by our own work at the American Institute for Boys and Men. This is appropriate in either case; different institutions have different focuses.

'Universities and media love to brand themselves as champions of free speech and open debate. But what happens when those same institutions quietly use legal tools to gag and erase the very people who challenge their orthodoxies?

In this conversation, I’m joined by two of my favorite thinkers, Dr. Janice Fiamengo and Dr. Stephen Baskerville, to dig into a darker layer beneath “cancel culture.” We start from the case of Dr. James Nuzzo, whose FOIA request exposed a coordinated effort by colleagues and administrators to push him out rather than debate his research, and then go much deeper.

'Officials are planning to spend tens of millions of pounds moving hundreds of female criminals out of jail to make room for more male offenders.

Documents accidentally released by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) outline a scheme which would cost an initial £68million and then a further £47million a year to ‘divert’ women offenders out of jail.

Another scheme would see female offenders placed in another type of residential centre instead of jail, at a cost of £60,000 to £100,000 a year per head.'

'Sticks and stones may break some bones, but the withering words of men — and a handful of ladies — calling full-time housewives “liars” and “lazy” for claiming the domestic job is hard, can cut deep.

“To all the stay-at-home moms, I feel like you’re lying,” spat Cass — an alleged work-from-home, stay-at-home dad of a newborn — in a controversial clip.
...
Still, internet trolls — including fathers who claim to have fulfilled the role of Mr. Mom — consider the thankless job a cushy gig that shouldn’t warrant much bellyaching from gals on the grind.

“You’re gonna trigger all the lazy moms with this one,” teased an instigator beneath Cass’ TikTok post.

“Being a stay-at-home mom is the easiest job in the world,” argued a smug male commenter.'

'This is the first of several interviews with Aman Siddiqi about his dissertation on the Prejudice Against Men. Aman’s dissertation is extraordinary and his ability to explain its complexity in interviews is excellent. The point he makes is that no psychotherapist can create a therapeutic relationship with men unless they are aware of where men face prejudice. I am sure you will enjoy Aman and his ideas. It is like a breath of fresh air!

'"A boy mom is a slang to refer to a specific kind of parent who is perceived as being overly fixated on their male children,” Mary Walrath-Holdridge of USA Today said.

However, this definition is too sympathetic to boy moms, in my opinion. The term boy moms has developed to refer to internally misogynistic women who grew up lacking male attention. They promote emotional incest, overstepping of boundaries and sexism through their disturbing actions.'

'Calls have been made for a "masculinity reset" because film and TV "portray men as either frightening or pathetic".

A survey found that most people believe boys are lacking proper role models due to a lack of representation in films, adverts and on television.

Instead, men are portrayed as either hapless and useless such as Daddy Pig in Peppa Pig, Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin in Family Guy, or as monstrous characters like Paul Spector, the serial killer in The Fall.

The poll of more than 2,000 people was part of the "Lost Boys" study by Centre for Social Justice (CSJ).

The think-tank's study called for a "masculinity reset" to ensure both male and female qualities are treated positively by the mass media.'
