Having kids may shorten a man’s life, groundbreaking study reveals

Article here. Excerpt:

'Choosing to become a parent could end up shortening a man’s life. A groundbreaking new study reveals that fatherhood may take an alarming toll on men’s heart health as they get older. Researchers from Northwestern University and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago found that cardiovascular health tended to be worse for fathers compared to men without kids.

The research, published in the journal AJPM Focus, found that as men age into older adulthood, those who have children tend to have worse cardiovascular health compared to their childless peers. This was determined by looking at factors like diet, exercise, smoking, weight, blood pressure, and blood lipid/glucose levels.'

Portland high school’s Healthy Masculinity Club is ‘a place for guys to not be ‘guys’’

Article here. Excerpt:

'Once a week during lunchtime at Portland’s Cleveland High, chemistry teacher Brian Fain’s classroom becomes part consciousness-raising circle, part support group, as several dozen boys sit together to consider American manhood, circa 2024.

Their Healthy Masculinity Club — part of a nascent national movement at high schools around the Portland metro area and the country — resists pigeonholing. It’s both a club intended just for boys and the radical opposite of an old boys network.

Freshman Ephraim Goodness sums it up thus: “It’s a place for guys to not be ‘guys.’”

Fain, the club’s adviser, began brainstorming the idea for the group in a post #MeToo world, intent upon unpacking — and, ideally, reversing — the tendency of male students to disrespect his female colleagues but respond deferentially to his authority.

There was inherent discomfort, some club members acknowledged, in reading aloud about the harm caused by young men while being male.

Hillary Clinton Blames Sexism for 2016 Loss: Donald Trump Won Because He Is A Man

Article here. Excerpt:

'Hillary Clinton blamed the fact that female voters abandoned her as her 2016 presidential campaign came to a close on her not being “perfect” in a recent interview.

“They left me because they just couldn’t take a risk on me because, as a woman, I’m supposed to be perfect,” the former secretary of state told the New York Times in an interview conducted in February and published Saturday.

She went on to argue that female voters took a “risk” on former President Donald Trump because he is a man.

“They were willing to take a risk on [Trump] — who had a long list of, let’s call them flaws, to illustrate his imperfection — because he was a man, and they could envision a man as president and commander-in-chief.”'

I Hate Men, but Want to Be Loved—How Do I Stop Sabotaging My Relationships?

Article here. Excerpt:

'I also feel anger toward men. I hate them. I’m ashamed to admit it because I’m always talking about how women and men are equal. Maybe I’m just trying to convince myself of that because deep down I think that women are better and I know that it’s wrong to think that way. I’m tired of being confused, and I’ve been confused for so long that I don’t know if my feelings are real or made up anymore.'

In defense of man: Has the hate men trend gone too far?

Article here. Excerpt:

'College is a long and arduous process of learning and becoming not just a better worker, but a better person. On my journey through this process, I’ve become more cognizant of what I say and how it affects other people.

A phrase that I’ve become stuck on and find myself thinking about often is one that most people give little thought to when they say it.

“I hate men.”

Typically said in a disdainful tone after a man has done something rude or stupid in front of the speaker, the phrase has become a mainstay in our Gen Z vocabularies. The phrase and its variations are all rooted in people’s frustration with the patriarchy and its many manifestations in everyday life.

HPV vaccines prevent cancer in men and women, new research suggests — but fewer boys get the shots

Article here. Excerpt:

'New research suggests the HPV vaccine is preventing cancer in men, as well as in women, but fewer boys than girls are getting the shots in the United States.

The HPV vaccine was developed to prevent cervical cancer in women and experts give it credit, along with screening, for lowering cervical cancer rates.

Evidence that the shots are preventing HPV-related cancers in men has been slower to emerge, but the new research suggests vaccinated men have fewer cancers of the mouth and throat compared to those who didn’t get the shots.

These cancers are more than twice as common in men than in women.

For the study, researchers compared 3.4 million people of similar ages — half vaccinated versus half unvaccinated — in a large health care dataset.

From 2011 to 2020, vaccination rates rose from 38% to 49% among females, and among males from 8% to 36%.'

Bucks County woman's false accusation could stop sex assault victims from coming forward: officials

Article here. Excerpt:

'A 20-year-old woman is out on bail after investigators say she admitted to lying about an attempted rape and kidnapping in the parking lot of a grocery store in Middletown last month.

The father of the man accused told FOX 29's Kelly Rule that the whole ordeal has been horrible not only for his son, but for the entire family.

There’s also an impact on the community, and on how current and future victims of sexual assault crimes feel about coming forward.

"It’s a horrible thing to make up, horrible."

According to court documents, Urumova gave police a description of a man's truck and identified him as her attacker back in April.

But when confronted by detectives on Friday, officials say she admitted to lying about the attempted rape and kidnapping.

She said she named him because she had previously seen him and his truck in the shopping center and thought he was "creepy," court documents state.

Global leader in prevention of gendered violence Jackson Katz in Australia to discuss ‘men’s issues’

Article here. Excerpt:

'As Australia confronts horrifying levels of family violence, global leader on the issue Jackson Katz says it is no longer acceptable for domestic or sexual abuse to be seen as a women’s issue that some good men help with because that is part of the problem,

“These are men’s issues,” he said as he kicked off his Australian tour in Perth by speaking at a White Ribbon function.

He said three things needed to change to end gendered violence across the globe, including the use of passive victim blaming language, for men not to be confused between guilt and responsibility about who they are, and for men to take leadership in all corners of society by shutting down inappropriate jokes or conversations.'

Is it time to stop men congregating in groups?

Article here. Denying men the right of association is a hallmark of dictatorships. I guess it may also be a hallmark of a gynocracy. Excerpt:

'All of which begs the question: if we have so many examples of the threat posed to women’s safety by allowing large groups of males to congregate together, should we be considering limiting their ability to do so?
...
Perhaps, given the clear and consistent evidence that aggressive and anti-social behaviour is heightened when men congregate in groups, authorities should be looking at ways to curtail this?
...
But if, as a man, the idea of your civil liberties being impinged upon in such a profound way rankles, ask yourself: what civil liberties do you believe women should have when we walk out into the world?

Why was a black congresswoman not criticized for her racist comment about white men?

Article here. Excerpt:

'While commenting about the accusations of sexual misconduct against Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Chairman Martin Gruenberg, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) stated that she was “so tired of white men failing up.” It’s the kind of racism, intolerance, and bigotry that Democrats said they want to purge from society. However, because the target of Pressley’s racist and bigoted wrath was a white man, her comments were absolved from widespread criticism or the kind of outrage had a white Republican made a similar comment about a black Democrat.

Feelings or sentiments regarding the accusations against Gruenberg aside, the criticisms against him should focus on his alleged actions and what he was accused of doing. Whatever Gruenberg allegedly did or did not do, his skin color had nothing to do with it. Pressley should not have even brought it up, and everyone in Congress and the media should have criticized and condemned her for her racial bigotry.
