'Men opting out of college isn’t a new phenomenon: Women have outnumbered men in undergraduate enrollment for about 40 years, and the gap continues to widen. Almost half of women age 25-34 have earned a bachelor’s degree, according to Pew Research Center data; for men the rate is 37%. Between 2011 and 2022, the number of Americans attending college dropped by 1.2 million, with men accounting for almost the entirety of that drop.

As US men forgo higher education, the demographic group as a whole has lost ground in other areas too. Working-class men today are less likely to be employed than they were four decades ago, their inflation-adjusted wages have barely budged in more than 50 years, they’re less prone to get married or have children, and an increasing number report having no close friends. Men are also four times more likely than women to die by suicide. Data show that men age 18-30 spent an average of 6.6 nonsleeping hours alone each day in 2023, 18% more than they did in 2019 and over an hour more than women did, according to a report by the Aspen Economic Strategy Group.'

'In Australia, it’s estimated almost one in five boys (18.8%) experience child sexual abuse. And at least one in 16 men (6.1%) experience sexual violence after age 15.

However, many boys and men don’t tell others about these experiences. Studies show men are less likely to disclose sexual abuse and assaults than women.

It also takes boys and men longer to first disclose sexual abuse or assaults. On average, men wait 21 years before telling anyone about being abused.

This is a problem because talking to others is often an important part of understanding and recovering from these traumatic experiences. When boys and men don’t discuss these experiences, it risks their mental health problems and isolation becoming worse and they don’t get the support they need.'

'Let’s be clear: Misogyny is real. An angry man—or worse, an angry young man—can be incredibly dangerous. There’s no denying the threat misogynistic violence poses. But while the world shouts about misogyny, barely anyone asks the harder question:

Why are boys becoming more misogynistic?

Why, in a supposedly progressive, inclusive, and compassionate society, are we seeing this rise?

The answer, I believe, is uncomfortable but simple:

Misandry is not just tolerated today—it’s culturally embedded, emotionally normalized, and increasingly rewarded. And misandry fuels modern misogyny. If misogyny is fire, misandry is the oxygen. It keeps it alive. It feeds it. It isolates boys until they burn.'

'We have not had a single healthy mainstream identity movement since that time. All, including feminism/the women's movement and all of the movements for racial equality, culminating in the Woke movements of today, have been founded on a moral dichotomy, a dividing of the world into guilty oppressors/perpetrators and innocent victims, a division built not on behavior but on identity. This founding analysis builds moral inequality in at the movement foundations; since victims are morally innocent and oppressors are guilty, the purported vision of equality is rendered unobtainable, forever out of reach. What equality can exist between oppressors and victims? Such movements are pathological and that is why, despite all of the equality legislation and the trillions of dollars spent on amelioration programs, we still hear constantly that equality remains far away.'

'Some commentators claim that feminism is a dangerous ideology. But I, for one, have never found their arguments especially convincing. In this essay, I’d like to address the same question, but by evaluating feminism against the “red flags” just mentioned – starting with worrying signs and moving through increasingly dangerous ones. I’m not suggesting feminism is committing genocide, but it is time to ask whether it shows signs of travelling a dangerous path. After all, even the well-intentioned may stray.'

'My initial suspicion, before watching the series, was that the motivation behind this rather nasty series was to propagandize the UK public into support for even more draconian censorship laws – with “the manosphere” being particularly targeted. The recent Online Safety Act was not draconian enough for many of the usual suspects. However, after watching the series I see that “the manosphere” theme was not presented very forcibly and was only one of several potential motivations for the killing. Another theme was the father’s explosive temper, which the scene with the female psychologist revealed was shared by the boy, Jamie. But that is actually even worse because it centres Jamie’s motivation on masculinity itself, the same narrative that has been poisoning our culture for decades. Either way it can only be seen de facto as the blackest propaganda, whatever the writers intended.'

'During an evening workout at Spirit Fitness in south-east Moscow, gym-goers were suddenly told to drop to the floor.

This was not part of their training, however, but an instruction from Russian police hunting for illegal immigrants and military draft dodgers.

Such raids have been reported across multiple Russian cities for weeks, human rights campaigners say, even before Vladimir Putin signed an order to conscript 160,000 men in the country’s biannual call-up, the largest since 2011.'

'The financial insecurity experienced by young men is partly to blame for the rise of anti-feminist discourse, a new study has claimed.

The report, which is published by the European Policy Centre (ECP), suggests that working-class men without university degrees have been particularly affected by declining wealth and employment rates over the past two decades.

"What we do know is that young men face difficulties in terms of income, wealth, purchasing power, access to housing and above all education," said Javier Carbonell, the ECP analyst who wrote the study.

"And they have fallen behind young women in this respect", he added.

The gender gap in education continues to widen in favour of women, Carbonell noted.

In Europe, 48% of people aged between 25 and 34 have a degree, but only 37% of them are men.'

'A new partnership between nearly two dozen colleges and universities aims to tackle the steep decline in male enrollment — an effort that is very much needed, two scholars told The College Fix.

In a stark shift in higher education demographics, men are now earning two of every five college degrees, and are more likely than women to drop out of college. These trends are highlighted in a recent report from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and the American Institute for Boys and Men.

With college enrollment dropping and men making up the vast majority of that decline, the university and institute decided to launch the Higher Education Male Achievement Collaborative in October.'

'Women’s Aid South Lanarkshire & East Renfrewshire’s Boyz Only programme is a 6-session support which aims “to provide boys with a safe space to explore their gender and world view”.

It also explores how boys can change themselves, their behaviour and challenge those around them to help end inequality. It promotes self-care and gives time and attention to boys who perhaps have never been afforded an individual focus on themselves.

A spokesperson for Women’s Aid said: “In today’s society, boys and young men are expected to be masculine with unrealistic expectations. These expectations dictate how boys and men should act, think, and feel which ultimately negatively affects men, women, boys and girls. If we do not tackle this issue then gender based violence, misogyny, incel behaviour, gang culture and poor mental health will continue to rise, and everyone will be affected”.'

Article here. As predictable as the sunrise, turn an issue facing boys into a concern for girls. Excerpt:

'But while public debate has focused on the crisis facing boys, a series of less remarked upon statistics suggest that girls are far from being the winners of a zero-sum game. The Children’s Commissioner for England told the Guardian this week that the current debate risked pitting boys and girls against each other – to the detriment of both.

“This is an optimistic generation, eager for change – but both boys and girls are facing pressures and influences that previous generations never imagined,” said Rachel de Souza. “We can’t pit boys against girls, because these are shared issues for every child.”

Article here. Men really do need their own political party. Excerpt:

'House Speaker Mike Johnson defended Republican efforts to attach work requirements to Medicaid, suggesting that young American men are wasting their lives "playing video games all day" instead of working.

Johnson's remarks came as House Republicans pushed forward a budget framework that would help finance President Donald Trump's tax cuts, with plans to slash federal spending by trillions. GOP leaders are eyeing $880 billion in reductions to Medicaid, a move critics warn could gut health coverage for millions of low-income Americans.

Johnson attempted to sidestep claims of direct benefit cuts, instead blaming "able-bodied young men" for taking advantage of a program he said was meant for single mothers, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
