'Should it matter whether a teacher is male or female? Research out on Monday from the Education Policy Institute shows that teaching is becoming an overwhelmingly female-dominated profession. Men are far less likely than women to become teachers in the first place and those that do take the plunge are much more likely to quit the classroom than their female colleagues.'

'Explaining the protest on Instagram, Paulin wrote: “Today, you probably saw that a lot of guys, including me, were wearing a skirt.
“Well, let me explain [to] you the reason behind this movement. Basically, the fact that a boy wears a skirt is a sign of resilience, solidarity and support to the intersectional battle for gender equality.
“The double standard on the way society views our women and men is blatant; if a woman decides to wear a suit or pants, clothes associated with masculinity, it’s not a big deal.
“But the moment a man will do anything remotely feminine, whether it is to put nail polish, makeup or in our case, a skirt, fingers are pointed and he gets insulted.
...
Paulin said that skirts were often used to discriminate against girls, with the “aggressors” excusing their actions “by sexualising women unnecessarily and blaming THEM for THEIR actions”.

'The proportion of male teachers in secondary schools in England has fallen steeply over the last decade – and now just over a third of the workforce are men, a report has found.
The decline of male teachers has been fuelled by a significant fall in the proportion of white male teachers in schools, according to an analysis by the Education Policy Institute (EPI) think tank.
Despite the workforce becoming more female-dominated, the proportion of black and minority ethnic (BME) male teachers has risen to 17% – which, for the first time, is broadly representative of the wider population (16%).
Since 2010, the number of BME male teachers has increased in both primary schools (by 114%) and secondary schools (by 34%).
Meanwhile, the number of white men in secondary schools has fallen by more than 12,800 since 2010 – a fall of 17%, the analysis has found.'

'Two women have been arrested after police and federal agents witnessed them drugging men in order to rob them.
CWBChicago reported that the women, both from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, were caught drugging men at bars in the North River section of Chicago over the weekend. Charges haven’t been announced, so the outlet isn’t naming the women, but reported they are expected to be charged with “robbery and operating a continuing financial crimes enterprise.” A source alerted the outlet to the arrests.
...
Apparently, drugging and robbing men in nightclubs is a crime on the rise, after the 2019 movie “Hustlers,” starring Jennifer Lopez, was released. “Hustlers is about a group of female strippers who drug and rob their clients. Hollywood loved it.'

'The University of Delaware may have committed breach of contract in a Title IX investigation, a federal judge said Wednesday. But the accused male student suing the university, “John Doe,” has not shown he was targeted because of his sex.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Jennifer Hall downplayed the relevance of a recent 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling on anti-male discrimination in Title IX proceedings. Her report and recommendation to U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika, however, says the lawsuit should be not be dismissed at this stage.
Crucial to Hall’s ruling was the taxpayer-funded university’s alleged refusal to show John his accuser’s complaint, even though its procedures require it to provide those documents to accused students from the start.'

'Baron Li, a sales manager at a Burien car dealership, said he was walking to his car to go to work on July 10 when an unknown assailant shot him 9 times from point-blank range in the parking lot of Li’s Bellevue apartment complex.
He spent a week at Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center and had to use a wheelchair for a month after he was discharged, Li said in a phone interview on Tuesday, the same day King County prosecutors charged his ex-wife and two teenage alleged accomplices with premeditated attempted first-degree murder.
Li and his ex-wife have been involved in an acrimonious custody battle over their son, who has special needs and who turned 6 in April, according to Li and court records. Police say there may be a financial motive behind the murder-for-hire plot and Li confirmed his son has a special-needs trust fund that contains “quite a bit of money.”

'Conversations about issues like "white privilege" and "toxic masculinity" could further alienate them.
Academics told MPs the white working classes faced a "status deficit" as the national conversation had become "much more consumed" with other groups.
They said these pupils were "stuck" in terms of their achievement at GCSE.
The Education Select Committee was taking evidence on Tuesday about the issue of white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds being left behind.'

'Ah, feminists -- they’re all class and empathy. Sorry for the joke. We all know they often are the most vulgar people in the world. When it comes to dealing with pro-life, conservative women vying for SCOTUS positions, feminists like Jill Filipovic refuse to apply their convictions and end up hitting these pro-life women with sexist attacks all the same.
...
Feminist author Lauren Hough uttered the most disgusting, sexist insult towards Barrett imaginable. She tweeted, “It’s a very weird thing to watch these old creeps congratulate a handmaid on her clown car vagina.” Wow. That is vile.
Hough also added “You can tell a lot about how a judge will rule by her fertility so I’m glad she’s already proven hers because the cervix check really shouldn’t be done live.” These women are pretty hateful, and are proof that feminism excludes and even hates conservative women.'

'If Manhattan is good for one thing, its feminist statues that poorly represent the ideals to which the espouse.
The Fearless Girl can move over, because liberal feminists in Manhattan will soon have a new statute to worship: One of Medusa holding the head of Perseus, an inversion of Benvenuto Cellini’s famous “Perseus with the Head of Medusa” sculpture created in the 16th century.
As the feminists behind the Medusa statue tell it, the statue is meant to portray Medusa “in a moment of somberly empowered self-defense.” They base their claim on Medusa’s backstory in Ovid’s “Metamorphosis,” which claimed Medusa was a beautiful priestess in the temple of Athena who was raped by Poseidon. Athena was angered by this but couldn’t punish Poseidon, so she turned Medusa into a hideous monster. This would mean Medusa was punished for being raped.'

'World Health Organization-recommended campaigns to circumcise millions of African boys and men to reduce HIV transmission are based more on systemic racism and 'neocolonialism' than sound scientific research, according to a critical appraisal published in Developing World Bioethics.
More than 25 million men and boys have already been circumcised as a result of voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) campaigns in eastern and southern Africa, implemented by the United States government and Western non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

The groups less likely to adhere to that guidance were white people, men and people between the ages of 18 and 24, making young white men the picture of handwashing recalcitrance.
White men, including President Trump, have also led the resistance to mask wearing.

According to Mr Carlson, “it's men in America who are failing,” in general, not women.

'A former player in the Utah Girls Tackle Football League said she would welcome the cancellation of football for boys if the bench trial alleging two school districts and the Utah High School Activities Association are violating Title IX does not lead to the addition of girls' football in the state.
Dalainee Robison, a senior at Kearns High and a plaintiff in the lawsuit, gave her opinion Monday when UHSAA lawyer Craig Parry asked if she would want football to be eliminated altogether should she and other plaintiffs lose the case. Robinson’s reason for saying football should be eliminated altogether was because “it isn’t fair,” she said.
Robison, who said she did not play tackle football this year due to a back injury, stopped short of condoning the elimination of all boys' sports should girls' tackle football not be provided as a result of the lawsuit.'
