'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.'

'The prevalence of cancer among men is expected to skyrocket globally in the coming decades, according to a new study from the American Cancer Society (ACS).
To predict future risk, Australian researchers analyzed the mortality rates tied to 30 different types of cancer among adult men in 2022, based on data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer across 185 countries and territories.
Based on those findings, they predicted that between 2022 and 2050, men’s cancer cases will spike by around 84% — going from 10.3 million to 19 million.
In 2020, men were 43% more likely to die of cancer than women, and their diagnosis rate was 19% higher, statistics show.
Men have been shown previously to engage more in modifiable risk factors for cancer, including smoking and consuming alcohol.
They are also less likely to get regular screenings for male-specific cancers, the study authors noted.'

Article here. Nothing scares so-called progressives and feminists more than men coming together in all-male groups of virtually any kind. One of the big successes feminists and so-called progressives have had, from their POV anyway, has been making men alienated from each other and afraid or gun-shy to form all-male groups of any kind for fear of being accused of "sexism"-- as feminists form as many all-female groups and events as they possibly can. If men are going to claim their power, they need unity which requires group-formation: men-only. What's good for the gander... Excerpt:

'Men’s violence against women in Australia is recognised as a national crisis. We urgently need to better-understand what can be done to prevent it and intervene effectively.
There’s a need to hold perpetrators to account for their abusive behaviour. This is set out in the National Plan to end Violence against Women and Children. Men’s behaviour change programs are a key component of the broader strategy to hold men accountable for their actions and prevent future abuse.
While there’s been an increase in funding for these programs in recent years, there’s still limited understanding of whether perpetrators engage in these programs, and why. Our research, released today, provides new evidence on what’s needed to improve the efficacy of behaviour change programs with the goal of improving women and children’s safety.'

'She called on the Government to amend its Criminal Justice Bill, which would grant ministers the power to detain UK prisoners in overseas jails, so that women are excluded.
Speaking at a Public Bill Committee meeting on January 18, where MPs were debating details of the proposed measures, Phillips said: “Data shows that women prisoners are predominantly victims of domestic and sexual violence, which is often a pathway to their offending. Would it not be better to put on the face of the Bill that women are carved out? … I am afraid to say that Governments are not always great on the issue of women in prison—not just this Government, but any Government, including any that might come in—so would it not be better to include that safeguard?”'

'Four UN special rapporteurs have warned that disciplinary proceedings against a female barrister for saying a judge had shown a “boys’ club attitude” may send “a disconcerting message” to lawyers challenging gender bias in custody and domestic abuse cases.
Charlotte Proudman is accused by the Bar Standards Board (BSB) of tweeting misleading information for comments she made about Jonathan Cohen – a member of the Garrick Club, which recently ended its ban on female members after 193 years – over remarks he made in a family case ruling two years ago.
They said: “While we do not wish to prejudge the accuracy of the above-mentioned allegations, we are concerned that the ongoing harassment of Dr Proudman, combined with the BSB’s decision to take disciplinary proceedings may send a disconcerting message that legal professionals who dare to challenge alleged systemic gender bias against mothers in custody cases, and women who are survivors of domestic violence, will be punished.'

'Firefighting is a male-dominated field nationwide, but New York City’s gender gap is especially glaring. According to personnel data collected by the City Council, less than 2% of the FDNY’s roughly 11,000 firefighters are women, compared to 9% nationwide and more than 12% in cities like Miami and San Francisco. The first woman to lead the department, Laura Kavanagh, stepped down on Wednesday, after less than two years on the job.
The FDNY did not make Kavanagh available to Gothamist for an interview. In an essay on Medium last month, she attributed her decision to wanting to spend more time with family and friends. Yet her exit has renewed attention to the FDNY’s gender gap, as well as long-standing complaints about sexism and harassment.

'A recent paper that claims to find women face greater burdens than men when it comes to household chores is flawed in its design.
“The division of household labor is an important but often overlooked driver of global gender inequity,” the Archives of Women’s Mental Health paper suggests. “Women carry a disproportionate burden of domestic tasks, and this burden may be linked with their health and wellbeing.”
The lead authors are psychology grad student Elizabeth Aviv and Professor Darby Saxbe, both at the University of Southern California. They wrote a summary of their research for The Conversation as well.
But the scholars designed the study in such a way, intentionally or not, as to bias the results to make it seem like women do a disproportionate amount of work in the house.'

'A former Yale University student who defeated claims of rape is continuing his legal battle to seek justice.
Saifullah Khan is suing fifteen organizations including the National Women’s Law Center, the Fierberg National Law Group, and the National Crime Victim Law Institute, along with attorney Jennifer Becker, for “defamation, false light, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and abuse of process action.”
Khan (pictured) is seeking both compensatory and punitive damages. It is pending and the accused groups have requested extensions to file responses, according to a College Fix review of court documents on Aug. 1.
The lawsuit follows an amicus brief the organizations filed with the Connecticut Supreme Court surrounding whether Khan could sue his accuser for damages.
The initial brief called Khan a “rapist,” and said he had committed rape – however, he already had been cleared by a jury of the charges. Despite this, Yale expelled Khan.'

'The gender gap in higher education is growing – and it may be due to how universities admit students and help them pay for school.
Men earn 42 percent of bachelor’s degrees, 38 percent of master’s, and 44 percent of doctorates, according to the American Institute for Boys and Men.
The group provided several reasons for this gap when asked by The College Fix.
“A pertinent data point is that a lower percentage of men attending college get aid – for example in the 2019-2020 school year, 67% of male undergraduates and 74% of female undergraduates received any aid,” a spokesperson told The Fix via email.'

'The future of Hims & Hers — a digital-first health platform that offers content, telehealth and drug treatments related to skin care, sexual performance and mental health — may be more hers than hims.
Why it matters: An intensifying focus on women's health in the U.S. has emerged since the overturn of Roe, including an executive order for more research and new investments flowing into areas including menopause, maternal and postpartum care and pain treatment.
Between the lines: "For the most part, the existing health care system — for better or worse, and mostly worse — was built by men, for men," Hims & Hers co-founder and CEO Andrew Dudum told Axios on Tuesday in an interview for the "Leading Indicator" show from Public, an investing platform.
Women's health care in the U.S. has been underfunded and neglected despite women outnumbering men since 1946.
