The town hall will be filmed at a venue called the Reid Barn in Cumming, Georgia, on Tuesday and air on Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET on "The Faulkner Focus." Ahead of the event, Faulkner underscored the importance of the female vote and for presidential candidates to have the opportunity to explain their platforms to the demographic.

"Women constitute the largest group of registered and active voters in the United States, so it is paramount that female voters understand where the presidential candidates stand on the issues that matter to them most. I am looking forward to providing our viewers with an opportunity to learn more about where former President Trump stands on these topics," Faulkner said in a Fox News press release.'

Kansas Lecturer Leaves After Remark on Shooting Men Who Won’t Vote for Women

Article here. Excerpt:

'The University of Kansas announced Friday that an instructor is no longer employed there after a video showed him “making a highly inappropriate comment in his classroom suggesting violence against individuals for their personal views.”

University officials didn’t name the instructor, but the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) has identified him as Phillip Lowcock, a health sport and exercise science lecturer who allegedly made an offhand comment in class that men who wouldn't vote for a woman for president should be shot. By Friday, Lowcock's profile page was no longer on the university's website.

Asked whether Lowcock was fired or voluntarily left, a university spokesperson said in an email “that’s a personnel issue the university is not able to discuss.” Inside Higher Ed was unable to reach Lowcock Friday.'

Women are better than men at science job interviews

Article here. Excerpt:

'An investigation into academic hiring outcomes for biological-science roles has suggested a surprising trend: women who applied for assistant professor positions in North America were more likely to get job offers than were men.
...
Overall, women were at an advantage. Two-thirds of women in the sample received at least one job offer compared with half of the men. The advantage is particularly notable because men had slightly more first-author publications in highly ranked journals. “Men had a few more CNS [Cell, Nature, Science] papers, but women were getting more job offers,” Jadavji says.'

Gendered job listings: Are women turning away from 'masculine' roles?

Article here. Excerpt:

'"Gender stereotyping in job ads can lead to a self-selection bias, where women choose not to apply for these jobs, even if they meet the qualifications, due to the perception that they are not a good fit," found the study.

It added that "stereotypically male job ads" can also "lead to a bias in the hiring process, where women are unfairly evaluated as being less competent or less suitable for the job".

IAB researchers evaluated listings for 710 occupations published on one of Germany's largest online job portals, BA Jobbörse.

They found that more jobs were actually gendered towards women, rather than centred around 'masculine' language.

Even so, the report found that in certain fields such as STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths), the majority of job descriptions used "masculine" terms.'

Young men’s economic prospects are shifting, along with their politics

Article here. Excerpt:

'“This is just a huge economic fact that lies behind a lot of this sense of cultural dislocation among men, this sense of not really knowing whether you are going to be needed, or feeling like you’re failing against the standard that was set 50 years ago about the position of men and women in the labor market,” said Richard Reeves, president of the American Institute for Boys and Men, which he founded to study the unique problems males face.

Reeves said his research indicates that a sense of economic and social dislocation could also be contributing to higher suicide rates among young men and wider substance abuse.

“It’s a very, very difficult and painful transition right now between some of the cultural expectations we have about the role of men and the economic reality on the ground,” he said.'

Curfew - is there a radical fix for violence against women?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Would a curfew for men lead to less violence against women and girls?

That’s the provocative question at the heart of Curfew, the new drama series on Paramount+.

Set in a dystopian future, the show imagines a society where all men live under The Women’s Safety Act and are subjected to a government-imposed curfew from 19:00 to 07:00, with their movements tracked 24/7 by ankle tags.

The goal? To drastically reduce violence against women.

However, as the series unfolds, the discovery of a murdered woman during curfew hours casts doubt on the effectiveness of the policy, raising broader questions about the limits of such measures.'

Want to film in Paris? No sexism allowed

Article here. Excerpt:

'Filmmakers looking to shoot on the iconic streets of Paris will have to promise to fight sexism, discrimination and sexual violence on set under a regulation adopted Friday by city lawmakers.

The regulation, due to take effect on January 1, requires production companies seeking a permit to film in the French capital to sign a charter pledging to promote gender balance on set, train crews against sexism and fight gender discrimination and violence.

Companies will also have to put special measures in place to protect those involved in shooting sex scenes -- a side of the industry that has been transformed since the "Me Too" movement exploded in 2017.

The measure "extends that adopted by the National Cinema Centre, which only applies to the film industry", said deputy mayor for culture Carine Rolland.'

Obama: Black men have ‘excuses’ for not supporting Harris

Article here. Excerpt:

'Barack Obama is urging Black men to step up their support for Kamala Harris, a sign that her campaign is worried about what is typically a reliable demographic for Democrats.

Referencing reports that support for Harris is lagging among Black males, the former president gave what amounted to a scolding as he made an unscheduled stop at a campaign field office in Pittsburgh.

“You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, I’ve got a problem with that,” he said. “Because part of it makes me think— and I’m speaking to men directly— part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”'

Harris is wrong: The government absolutely controls men’s bodies

Article here. Excerpt:

'Vice President Kamala Harris made an inaccurate claim on a popular podcast this week.

The Democratic presidential nominee appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast and repeated an emphatic no when asked by host Alex Cooper if any laws exist that give the government control over a man’s body.

Many people cite selective service as an example of governmental control over men’s bodies. Men aged 18 to 25 must register, unlike women. If drafted, those men must fight wars they did not want to fight. Some men have been killed. Our country has living veterans of World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War who are products of the draft. We cannot say the same about women.'

'Misogynist' schoolboys face terror unit probes despite damning report accusing Prevent, the body set up to combat Islamic extremism, of 'losing its focus'

'Teenage boys face investigation by anti-terrorism officers if they make sexist remarks in the classroom, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The Home Office is considering plans to allow teachers to report misogynistic comments to the government's Prevent programme, which was set up to combat Islamic extremists. Even comments about a 'woman's place being in the kitchen' could be enough to spark a referral to the unit, sources said last night.

Critics say the move would dilute Prevent's work in deradicalising potential terrorists at a time of huge global tensions.

UK: School textbooks are sexist, woke scientists say - so, would you take offence to these descriptions of men and women?

Article here. Excerpt:

'From 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' to 'The Tiger Who Came To Tea', woke campaigners have taken offence to many beloved books.

Now, scientists claim that even our school textbooks are sexist.

Researchers from the UK's Center for Global Development analysed the contents of 1,255 textbooks from 34 countries around the world.

They found that the textbooks mentioned women half as often as men and were far less likely to describe their careers and achievements.'
