Today, we really need to talk about our men

On GBNews yesterday:

It’s all your fault. For too long you have dominated society in almost every culture of the world. You are sociopathic, reckless, selfish and deficient in areas where we need you to be better. The Patriarchy, in a word, is toxic. That is how many men feel they are being spoken to today.

Born with inherent blame, an original sin. When the tragic circumstances of Sarah Everard's murder hit the headlines, there were even calls for a curfew on men, somehow lumping 50% of the population in the same category as one psychopathic and deeply evil monster.

How do we want men to react to this, what can they do?…

British men told to 'stay indoors' when a killer is on run

It's almost as though people don't know that men are the majority victims of violence, or that men are the majority of people who chase down and catch murderers.

In the Daily Mail today:
"Police 'should tell men to stay indoors' when a killer is on run in local area: Victims commissioner says 'very little has changed' since women were told to keep off streets when the Yorkshire Ripper prowled North in 70s and 80s"

UK goes extreme on gender bending

Three items:

Last year, a High Court determined that a child was not (almost by definition) capable of understanding the ramifications upon their life of starting the trans-gender process by taking puberty blockers. That has now been reversed by a Court of Appeal. United Families International reports that the decision said that doctors should seek court approval before prescribing the medication because the drugs were still experimental.

'Border Patrol Are Leftover Racist White Men,' Says Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson

Article here. Excerpt:

'Rep. Frederica Wilson of Florida had harsh criticism for the U.S. Border Patrol on Sunday amid backlash to the agency's handling of Haitian migrants.

Wilson appeared on the local news program, This Week in South Florida, to discuss the ongoing issue, reiterating her strong and vocal criticism from the past week. The congresswoman represents Florida's 24th District, which encompasses parts of the Miami metropolitan area and, according to Local 10, is home to the largest population of Haitian immigrants in the U.S.

"The Border Patrol are leftover racist white men who do not like immigrants, and what really made them angry is that these were Black immigrants," Wilson said.'

Christie’s to sell NFT of white man being sold as slave

Article here. Excerpt:

'A non-fungible token featuring a white man being auctioned as a slave will be sold at Christie’s — for a price that could reach millions — in New York City next week.

“It was immediately clear it would be a major artwork both for its contemporary and historical commentary as well as the fascinating combination of disciplines,” Barrett White of Christie’s Americas told The Post.

“White Male for Sale” is the creation of artist-provocateur Dread Scott. The work consists of a 70-second looped video showing an average-looking white man in white button-down shirt and black pants, expressionless, standing on an auction block in the middle of a busy Brooklyn intersection.'

Future is female: Is that entirely a good thing?

Article here. Excerpt:

'“Men are abandoning higher education in such numbers that they now trail female college students by record levels.” So declares the opening sentence of a Wall Street Journal piece that is creating quite the buzz.

Here are some of the eye-popping statistics: Women now account for 59.5% of college students in the United States. They also earn 58.5% of master’s degrees and 52.9% of Ph.D.s. Women have been earning the majority of doctorates for 13 straight years. In the 2020-21 academic year, a million more women than men applied to college.

You can be forgiven if you find these numbers startling. The popular press focuses on the challenges women face, not on their achievements. We are constantly warned about silencing girls’ voices, discrimination against female athletes, glass ceilings, pay gaps, “mansplaining” and the paucity of women in the top ranks of corporate America.'

Judge: USI can not suspend student in lawsuit over Title IX investigation

Article here. Excerpt:

'A Vanderburgh County judge has halted the University of Southern Indiana from suspending a student over a sexual assault allegation. Vanderburgh Circuit Court Judge David Kiely’s temporary restraining order would prevent USI from suspending or imposing other sanctions or restrictions on the student until a Sept. 30 hearing.

The student filed a lawsuit in the county’s circuit court on Friday accusing the university of violating its own Title IX policies and procedures. The lawsuit also accuses USI of violating the constitutional rights of the student.'

British MP asks for equal justice

Paul Howell MP, Conservative, raised a question in the House this week under the heading of 'Women and Equalities'.

"Last week, I had the privilege of meeting my constituents Thomas Gill and his parents, who suffered major injuries as a result of a car being driven by a female driver who was under the influence of drink and drugs. Thomas raised his concern because the sentencing was so low and young women were getting more lenient treatment than young men. Could the Minister assure him that we are equal under the law?"

Too many white men putting their hands up to speak, Labour delegates told

Article here. Excerpt:

'During a debate on housing and transport, the chairman of the session noted the people putting their hands up to contribute did “not reflect the diversity” of those in the hall.

Mark Ferguson, a member of Labour’s National Executive Committee, told delegates in Brighton: “I am afraid, and I am not speaking from a position of particular strength here, there are too many white men putting their hands up.”

To laughter, he added: “I am not anti-white men, some of my favourite people are – my dad’s a white man.

“But I do not want white men to exclusively dominate this or any other debate at this conference and following on from my comrade in the chair this morning, I do wish to see the diversity of the hall reflected.

“I’m not putting anybody on the spot here, but if you want to speak do not be afraid to put your hand up, we want to hear from you, this is an inclusive conference.”'

Video report demonizes men who don't go to college

Video here. It reports the trend, then immediately demonizes the men not going to college as being "dangerous", without asking why the trend may be appearing. Further, rather than be concerned with the men not going to college (as if going to college were absolutely necessary to get along in life), it laments the effects this has on women's dating prospects.

Christine Flowers: The war on poor white boys

Article here. Excerpt:

'The people I worry about are the young men, the boys really, who attract the same sort of vitriol as Kavanaugh. Recently, the Wall Street Journal had a story that highlighted the shocking fact that at the end of the last academic year, there was a huge enrollment gap between the genders: 59.5% of college students are female, while only 40.5% male. Of course, there were a number of reasons cited to explain the deficit, but one stood out: a sense of hopelessness. In fact, the article was entitled “A Generation of American Men Give Up On College: ‘I Just Feel Lost.’”
...
Beyond the fact that the last 50 years have been spent empowering women and creating a force field called “Girl Power,” something from which I’ve unwillingly benefited, there has been an equally strong yet diametrically opposed trend toward diminishing boys. When I say “boys,” I mean males from toddlerhood to young adulthood. Race changes the dynamic, drastically, so we can add “white” to the mix.

The Orwelexicon: Neologisms for Bias and Dysfunctions in Psychology, Academia, and the Wider Society

Article here. Excerpt:

'BANNED BY PSYCHOLOGY TODAY! I submitted it there as a blog post and they took it down after I posted it. In 12 short hours, it had garnered well over 1000 views, a bullet of popularity in PsychTodayLand. In fairness to their takedown, this was definitely not their normal fare.

Bropenscience Paradox: The claim that sexism is so powerful in the Open Science Movement that all male scientists must intensely interrogate themselves for any trace of it. Male scientists must also avoid having conversations without women or members of marginalized groups; and they must especially avoid criticizing scientific work by people from such groups. Although sexism is a very serious problem and charge, objecting to being called sexist is proof of defensiveness and pathological fragility.'

White men are now almost extinct on university campuses – and that’s exactly what feminists want

Article here. Excerpt:

"From Malaysia to the US, women are dominating higher education in record numbers, but don't expect quotas or diversity measures to tackle the inequality. For gender activists, this is just the latest victory in a long-running war.

It was always going to happen. And now it’s official: women outnumber men at American universities on a scale that’s never been seen before. Not just slightly, or by a considerable margin, but by record, unprecedented levels.

By the end of the 2020-21 academic year, women constituted 60% of college students across American campuses, while men made up just 40%, according to the National Student Clearinghouse research group.

Compared to 2016, there are also 1.5 million fewer students in America’s higher education system and, yep, you guessed it, men account for 71% of the decline."
...
Anyone who’s surprised by this disparity is either a) an idiot or b) is in denial of the war against men. Anyone who’s a feminist simply won’t care.

Boys and America’s future: Let’s be honest about their achievement, and the broader problems for our society

Article here. Excerpt:

'The punch-counterpunch should not be surprising. Conservative publications have always loved the boy troubles, a backdoor way of striking back at feminists while exploiting male grievances. And progressive publications love to downplay the gender gaps to keep the focus on championing women’s causes. Men still dominate the key majors such as technology and engineering, the writer points out.

So who’s got the right take here?

Because too many powerful constituencies — the female-dominated teachers unions, the American Association of University Women, high school administrators resisting taking on another problem to solve — were lined up to downplay the issue.
