'As the co-founder and executive director of Usikimye, a non-profit in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi that works with women – and some men – who are experiencing sexual and gender-based violence at home, Migwi said that the woman “couldn’t put her finger on what was changing” in her relationship with her husband at first, but soon thought she figured it out. The man had for months been consuming content by Kenya’s most prominent “masculinity influencers,” who lead Kenya’s arm of the more global “manosphere” — where content is put out across websites, blogs and social media accounts promoting a certain lifestyle, focused on masculinity and opposing feminism — which she believes changed his views towards her.'

'NCFM is gearing up to file a lawsuit against the State of California for not having a Commission on the Status of Boys and Men.

The Global Initiative for Boys and Men has been hard at work, developing state reports to highlight the need for such commissions, including one for California that was just completed last week, which you can read below. Each report can cost up to $10,000 and take months or even years to complete and keep updated. Our upcoming lawsuit will cost at least $30,000, similar to the one we filed against the Selective Service System earlier this year.'

'Female students at Brown University are not enrolling in STEM degrees at the exact same rate as male students due to sexism, according to a professor who also works as an “equity consultant.”

The Brown Daily Herald recently surveyed 1,177 undergraduate students on their majors. This represents about 15 percent of all undergrads.

Approximately 45 percent of females are majoring in the “physical sciences” compared to 59 percent of males, according to the survey. The poll also provides data on students who are “neither male nor female” (about 40 percent of Brown students say they are LGBT).

For insights, the student newspaper turned to Katherine Rieser, who does not teach in any of the physical sciences departments. Rather, she directs the graduate program in teaching and is a senior lecturer in education, according to her university bio. However, she is a “race and equity consultant” according to her curriculum vitae.

'25% say people in the United States have mostly negative views of men who are “manly or masculine.” This is smaller than the shares who say people have mostly positive views of masculine men (43%) or that views are neither positive nor negative (31%).

But among Republican men, 45% do think people have negative views of masculine men, and the vast majority of those who feel this way say this is a bad thing. Much smaller shares of Republican women (24%), Democratic men (20%) and Democratic women (13%) say people view masculine men negatively. (Republicans and Democrats include those who lean toward either party.)'

'Former President Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential nominee, is joining Fox News’ Harris Faulkner in the battleground state of Georgia to speak with an all-female audience about issues that affect them most in a town hall event that will air Wednesday.

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.'

'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.'

'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.'

'"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.'

'“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.'

'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.'

'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.'

'Psaki then referred to Emhoff as a “wife guy” and then claimed some people are not comfortable with “fierce women, strong women, intelligent women.”

Like Emhoff, Walz and every other man are simply supporting characters for the female lead. The left doesn’t allow strong men who might disagree with women because it destroys female empowerment.'
