'Heather Mac Donald joins Andrew Kolvet and Blake Neff on the lawsuit that put Cornell back in the national fight. A former student, Jane Doe, sued in September alleging seven Chi Phi members drugged and assaulted her at a frat house in October 2024. The men deny it. No one has been charged. The Tompkins County D.A. declined charges in 2024 off her own campus-police statement. The New York Times reported his office did not review later evidence. On Oct. 2, Gov. Kathy Hochul pulled the D.A. and named Attorney General Letitia James special prosecutor. Students rallied Monday demanding expulsions and President Michael Kotlikoff’s resignation. Mac Donald argues the sworn 2024 account does not describe a crime.'

'Why are governments becoming increasingly concerned about the growing number of single men?

Across South Korea, Japan, China, the United States, and other developed economies, marriage rates are falling, birth rates are hitting historic lows, and more men are living alone or opting out of dating, marriage, and family life altogether.

In this video, we break down the demographic, economic, and social forces behind the rise of single men and why the consequences could reach far beyond modern dating.'

'Now a major new YouGov study examines the beliefs of young men through a tour of issues ranging from gender equality, misogyny, and masculinity.

The results paint a complex picture, which does not necessarily support the national narrative that there is misogyny problem that is uniquely confined to young men.

While potentially misogynist views are certainly held by a minority of young men and boys, in many cases they are not held at a rate significantly higher than among their elders.

Indeed, the results also show that young men are often more likely to hold more progressive gender attitudes than their older male peers.

The study does, however, find that conceptions of masculinity do differ between Gen Z men and their elders, with traits often associated with toxic masculinity seen more favourably by young men.'

'A 30-year-old PE teacher convicted of multiple sexual offences against a 16-year-old boy; a 34-year-old music teacher whose 13-year-old pupil fathered her child; a 31-year-old maths teacher jailed for having sex with two teenage students, one whose baby she gave birth to. A string of recent cases has brought the concerning issue of sexual misconduct by female teachers into the public spotlight.

As a senior lecturer in criminology and justice, my work has increased understanding of how and why some female teachers sexually abuse students. It has made it clear that a gender blindness can make it hard to recognise some women as perpetrators, which can lead to devastating results.

My research has highlighted how we need to be alert to any signs of concern in the relationships between female teachers and students in the same way as those of male teachers. Although every case involving female perpetrators is unique, some common patterns have emerged in the research.'

'A Texas mom accused of stabbing her two young children early Tuesday morning had been suffering from postpartum depression, according to her husband — whom she allegedly also knifed.

Holly Leeann Flores, 37, was charged with attempted murder after her husband called 911 around 4:20 a.m. to report he had been stabbed in the head at their home in the small town of Northlake, located around 30 minutes north of Fort Worth.

The Northlake mom is also accused of knifing her 3-year-old daughter and 10-month-old son.'

'Simone Ramage, 41, was told at the High Court in Edinburgh she would not be given a custodial sentence after a judge previously concluded she had killed Brian Kowbel in the Scottish Borders in 2023.

Ramage shot Mr Kowbel on 17 February 2023 at their home in Galashiels, leaving him so severely injured he later died at Borders General Hospital in Melrose.

Judge John Morris KC said at a hearing on Wednesday he was satisfied the non-custodial sentence was "the most suitable means of dealing with you".

He said Ramage would have to comply with treatment aimed at improving her health.'

'TIME spoke to Nick Syrett, author of The Company He Keeps: A History of White College Fraternities and chair and professor of gender and women’s studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, about the case, what makes fraternities different, and why they have proved so hard to rein in.
...
There's a long history of events like this happening in fraternities. Since at least the 1970s and 1980s, there have been incidents of gang rape of intoxicated, incapacitated women in fraternity houses. So it is not surprising that it has happened once again.

'A federal jury on Thursday decided in favor of a former University of Maryland student who sued the university for failing to protect him from harassment after he was cleared of a sexual misconduct claim.

The student sued the university in 2022 under the pseudonym John Doe. The jury said he proved by a “preponderance of the evidence” that the university was “deliberately indifferent” to the harassment against him given the known circumstances.

While the lawsuit sought about $10 million, the jury ultimately awarded John Doe $1 — legally known as nominal damages — which recognizes that a plaintiff’s legal rights were violated, even though there was no measurable harm.

The jury agreed with John Doe on all four questions on its verdict sheet. It found he was harassed because of his sex, that the harassment was severe enough to “deprive him of equal access” to education and that the university’s response was “clearly unreasonable.”

'The Cornell case offers a grim preview of how the gender wars will shape politics and society in the future. Despite college students having less sex than ever before, rampant misandry may force a revival of campus rape hysteria and create policy changes. Democrats are eager to latch onto the Cornell story to gin up support from female voters. As part of that process, we could end up with draconian laws that make it easier for women to send men to prison for regrettable sex and other non-crimes. While the media obsesses over random right-wingers who meme about repealing the 19th Amendment, the real result of the gender war will be aimed at men, not women.

'New York-based Jacqueline Harounian, the managing partner of Wisselman Harounian Family Law, told Newsweek that the great American divorce, for years, has followed a predictable pattern—until now.

In previous decades, typically one spouse, usually the husband, earned the money, while the other, usually the wife, raised children and managed the home, with courts stepping in to provide long-term financial protection for the latter if the marriage ended.

That binary reality is being phased out.

"The laws are changing, the earners are going to get to keep their money, and the spouses that are dependent will get support, for a short period of time," Harounian, 56, said. "Approximately 15 years ago, New York became the last state to enact no-fault divorce laws, and since then, the laws are becoming more gender neutral. Fathers are taking a more active role in raising children, and as a result, many are seeking 50-50 custody. On the other hand, mothers are surging in career and income power."

'Do frats, and the men who join them, have a monopoly on predatory behavior on campus? Absolutely not. But a 2007 study found that frat brothers are three times more likely to rape than other male students; and in a 2025 survey at Cornell University—where seven fraternity brothers have been accused of drugging and gang-raping a 20-year-old student (and sorority member herself) in 2024—roughly one in three women reported experiencing sexual assault during their time at the school.

Dr Spier interviews Evolutionary psychologist Dr Dani Sulikowski: "Is Feminism an Intrasexual Competitive Strategy?": "Feminism was always actually just intrasexual competition. I don't actually think it's ever been anything else."

Sulikowski: Initially, when I first started sort of looking into feminism as a vehicle for intraexual competition between women, that's sort of what I thought it was, you know, a vehicle that had been hijacked or co-opted, if you like, whose original intention had been women's rights and women's social progress as it claims. Um, and it's been and it has been hijacked because I think it is a fair comment to suggest that most every female female interaction has sort of intraexual competition as an organizing principle. ...

The amazing Kait Willet sums up the issue in less than two minutes: "You chose the bear":

Willett: But you can't say, "I would choose a bear." Which is basically saying, "I'm not interested in you at all." And then go, "Why aren't you approaching me?"

"I don't want you, but why aren't you approaching me?"

"I don't want you, but why aren't you approaching me?"

Like, play that out loud. Am I crazy? That doesn't make any sense. If I hear, "I don't want you," I'm not going to approach you. I'm just not... I'm going to find another option that is safe to approach and that I'm interested in. That's what men are doing. Or they're just not approaching at all.

But you can't get mad at them for listening to you.

Dr. Spier interviews Christine Grace Smith, "one of the biggest independent YouTube voices that react to the online gender wars. She has uh over a quarter of a million subscribers."

Spier: Asking does Christine consider herself a male advocate?

Smith: I have no idea. I would like to think so, but then also it's hard ... Everything I say is what I think. Everything I say is my opinion, my thoughts. Anything that goes on that comes out my mouth has come from up here. So, I would hate to say my voice is men's voice because I'm not a guy. I have no idea if I'm saying what guys want me to say. I just say what I think. So, it's rewarding when people come back to me and say, "Oh, I agree with you.You're you're saying what I think."

Spier: I think that you can safely say that you're advocating for for men.

'Catholic Education South Australia is proud to partner with Port Adelaide Football Club to deliver their Power to End Violence Against Women program, an education initiative committed to preventing gender-based violence in schools across the state.

Since 2016, the program has harnessed the power of sport to engage Year 10 students in meaningful conversations about respectful relationships, gender equality and the drivers of gender-based violence.

Developed in partnership with Centacare Catholic Community Services and the South Australian Government, the evidence-informed program complements the Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum taught in schools across the state.

The initiative has since expanded to include a companion program supporting young women, helping them build confidence, recognise healthy relationships and challenge harmful gender stereotypes.'
