'For first-years admitted in the fall of 2023, Brown’s acceptance rate for male applicants was 6.9%, and the acceptance rate for female applicants was 4.2%, according to the University’s Common Data Set.

Despite an applicant pool of 19,666 men and 31,650 women, Brown still admitted a first-year class with an almost perfect 50/50 ratio of men to women. As a whole, the undergraduate population has a male-to-female ratio of 46/54. Federal methodology requires institutions to report applicants’ sex assigned at birth.

Brown’s admissions data mirrors a nationwide pattern: Since the 1980s, female enrollment has consistently surpassed male enrollment among institutions of higher education. Brown alum Peg Tyre ’83, Vice President of the EGF Accelerator — an accelerator for education nonprofits — provided some insight on the topic in book “The Trouble With Boys.”'

'But I think the work of the Commission has significance well beyond Norway. There are policymakers around the world trying to figure out how best to begin to approach the glaring, growing problems of boys and men. Now they have a blueprint.
...
The Commission also calls on the Research Council in Norway to explicitly take up the challenge of improving the knowledge base on many of the issues tackling in the report. And as a pretty wonky bunch, they are keen on more data transparency too, calling for “a review and revision of the statistics pages and indicators for gender equality so that they reflect the equality challenges of boys and men to a greater extent than today.” That might sound dull: but honestly, just getting the basic facts in front of more eyes is a powerful and often necessary first step to action.'

Men are being targeted by healthcare providers for forcible genital cutting and Americans—including many men who are cut—are looking the other way. Male child genital cutting (aka newborn circumcision) deprives these men of a full sexual life and open sexual future. These men are not being forcibly circumcised as adults but when they are newborns, a time when they are the most defenseless.

Interesting YouTube video discussion here. TLDR: "Incels" are simply young men who are relationally and sexually frustrated because women and the rest of society have devalued them. Cut off from romantic and financial resources, this class of man constitutes a new brand of marginalized minority. Like any marginalized group, they're angry and potentially volatile as a socio-political class. Unless something changes, the future vis-a-vis this class of person is both fraught and may pose a serious threat to the political establishment.

'The typical physical profile of a female sex predator is a caucasian woman in her 30s, according to new research.
...
One of the women that I worked with confessed to me that she prided herself on being 'sensitive and caring' because she knew that would make young males 'feel safe.'

When I challenged her by informing her that she was harming these individuals, she replied, 'it never felt that way to me.'

Another predatory practice is the luring of victims with sexually suggestive or outright pornographic posts on social media or in private digital communications.'

'A new trend has emerged on TikTok known as the ‘soft guy era’, which advises men to stop being sole providers in their romantic relationships.

"The soft guy era movement is [about] promoting partnership. You’re telling me you’re a grown woman, and you’re my woman, and you can’t put up 50% of the bills, you’re broke and lazy," a TikToker who goes by the name Lil Goodie said.

"We all know being a provider in 2024 is a scam. So we don’t care, we’re not doing that anymore. We know that’s old-fashioned, these women got money, these women are working, so they need to contribute," another influencer named Scarfacemark said.

'But what she found is that, despite considerable progress on gender in society, the way we raise boys hasn’t changed much — and the collision of expectations has created a crisis for boys that has fed the crisis for young men that has, in turn, fed the crisis of democracy that’s facing the world today.

'New Hampshire Medicaid plans will continue to cover all infant circumcisions for parents who choose the procedure.

In a 178-197 vote, lawmakers rejected House Bill 1683, which would have limited Medicaid coverage to medically necessary circumcision. The bill’s supporters said they opposed spending state money on elective procedures. The bill was one of two addressing circumcision this year; House Bill 1706 sought to require providers to show parents the tools used for circumcision and explain the risks, such as the potential for decreased sexual pleasure, before performing the procedure. The House voted to send that bill to interim study earlier this month.

In urging House members to defeat the bill, Rep. Joe Schapiro, a Keene Democrat, cited health benefits and made the kind of parental-rights argument often voiced by Republicans who supported the bill.

'Unless a child required circumcision for medical reasons, Medicaid could no longer cover it under House Bill 1683. A separate bill would require providers to show parents the tools used in a circumcision and get their written permission before performing the procedure.

In fiscal year 2023, the state’s Medicaid plan, half of which is funded by the federal government, paid $213,160 for circumcision procedures, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. Of that, about $90,500 was for “elective” circumcisions that would no longer be covered under the bill.

Nearly 20 states have passed similar legislation, according to the Journal of Urology. Medical experts disagree over whether the potential risks, such as surgical complications, outweigh the potential benefits, such as a reduced risk of urinary tract infections.

'In these specific ways and others, it’s true that men do sometimes have it worse than women; that men are subject to prejudices and pressures that women usually are not. But misandry hasn’t produced these conditions. They are caused and exacerbated by the self-same patriarchy that chauvinist men espouse. Conventional masculinity hasn’t been torn down by the feminist agenda: it’s buckled under its own noxious expectations. What matters is that we construct something healthier and more honest from its rubble.

'After several delays, the Biden administration finally released its final rule overhauling Title IX this morning, kicking off what will likely be a frantic few months as colleges race to update their policies in time for the coming academic year. Colleges and universities have until Aug. 1 to comply.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects students in all levels of education from sex-based discrimination. The new regulations, which appear similar to what was proposed in June 2022, significantly alter how colleges and universities respond to reports of sexual harassment and assault and expand protections for LGBTQ+ and pregnant students.

'A financial analyst nicknamed the 'Oracle of Wall Street' has said a 'growing crisis of the young American male' will cause house prices to fall as much as 30 percent.

Meredith Whitney, who earned the title after predicting the financial crisis of 2007 - 2008, suggested young men increasingly living with their parents and disinterested in starting families will drastically reduce housing demand.

The trend of men refusing to settle in turn means more women are remaining single into later life, leaving them without the income or need for big family homes.

But it comes as baby boomers start to downsize, meaning there will be a surplus of available properties. Much of the last decade's gains in home values have been driven by high demand and low supply - a phenomenon, Whitney says, is reversing.

To explain the rise in men living at home, she pointed to the increasing prevalence of video games, starting in the mid-2000s.'

'The Basic Index of Gender Inequality, which measures childhood educational opportunities, healthy life expectancy, and overall life satisfaction, likewise reveals men have fallen behind women in 91 out of 134 countries. Other disparities have been documented in sex discrimination against men in hiring decisions, including for STEM positions.

But funding agencies continue favor females over males by more than a three-to-one margin, according to one analysis.'
