'Mark Koerner just learned the tough lesson that questioning the term “toxic masculinity” in a liberal school district can spur a reaction that might come across as, well, a bit toxic.

“It was pretty confrontational towards me. You can call it toxic. You can call it whatever you want,” said Koerner, vice president of the San Rafael City Schools’ Board of Education, a day after a throng of district parents vociferously panned his resolution during a school board meeting.

“Offensive,” “embarrassing,” ridiculous,” “tone deaf,” “insensitive at best.” Those were just some of the jabs in the nearly hourlong fusillade of admonishments, mostly from district moms, of Koerner and his ill-fated resolution.

'Actor Anthony Mackie, who plays the latest incarnation of Marvel’s Captain America in "Captain America: Brave New World," warned that American masculinity is both necessary and exceptional.

Mackie has made numerous headlines in recent months, having taken up the iconic role of Captain America from its popular predecessor, Chris Evans, in Marvel movies. On Tuesday, "The Pivot Podcast" released an extensive interview where the actor spoke about both his career and his personal life, including how he raises his sons.

"In the past 20 years, we've been living through the death of the American male," Mackie said. "They have literally killed masculinity in our homes and our communities, for one reason or another, but I raise my boys to be young men."

He explained that he believes becoming young men consists both of maturity and the ability to be a protector.'

'That Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini conferred the Indira Gandhi Award on Women’s Day to a Jind-based social worker once jailed for filing a false rape case has left the state BJP government red-faced. Court documents show Rekha Dhiman had in 2020 falsely accused 12 men of rape, and has previously also filed false police complaints.

On Sunday, the Haryana Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) sought a time-bound report on the matter from the women and child development department. The government has also said strict action will be taken against those found guilty in this matter.

Talking to ThePrint Monday, Haryana government media coordinator Ashok Chhabra, confirmed that the CM Saini “has taken this lapse very seriously and sought a report from the concerned department”.'

'Smith College students can take a course on “Marxist Feminism” in the spring semester as part of the school’s Program for the Study of Women, Gender & Sexuality. Smith College is a private women’s liberal arts college in western Massachusetts.

According to the course description, Marxist feminism begins with the “simple insight” that “capitalism relies on the class politics of unpaid, reproductive ‘women’s work.’” Based on this understanding, Marxist feminists have combatted systems of power and oppression, including “patriarchy, slavery, feudalism and colonialism.”'

'The vice president of San Rafael’s school board withdrew a controversial resolution Monday night that would have recognized “the indispensable role of young men in our community and commit[ted] to support their needs and acknowledge their contributions.”

Mark Koerner pulled his legislation before the vote in front of a room filled almost entirely with women after facing intense backlash following the introduction of the resolution Friday.
...
During the 40-minute public comment period before the vote, nearly two dozen speakers described the resolution as “strange,” “ridiculous,” “offensive,” “a mockery of women’s history month,” and “a vanity metric.”'

Koerner that month proposed a resolution to instate an “International Boys Day.” It was denied. Koerner said he did not intend for the resolution to be divisive and admitted he was “open to revising language.”

You may recall that 30 years ago, the United Nations approved the Beijing Declaration, which since then has been the cornerstone of the global women’s rights movement.

The Beijing Declaration makes numerous references to “gender equality.” And though the gender disparities affecting men were well documented even then, the UN has inexplicably done nothing to address the 12 areas of male disadvantage: www.menandboys.net

This lamentable state of affairs is about to change.

Article here. I read essays like this one and the lack of mention of what men have to deal with especially in the non-Western world (killed in mine cave-ins, by forced military service, industrial accidents, etc.) is glaring. The author is clearly all about and only about the trials of women. This is feminist thinking in action. Excerpt:

'Unpaid work. Sexual harassment. Violence. Low wages. The “motherhood penalty.” These are just some of the issues that millions of women continue to face at work in 2025.

Despite progress made towards global gender equality, men continue to hold the highest paid positions in industries worldwide, while many women still typically handle grunt work across companies and supply chains.

Meanwhile, many women around the world are still struggling to find work, with many holding precarious jobs or forced to hustle in the informal economy just to get by.'

'The boys are not all right. That’s the message from a new Centre for Social Justice report, Lost Boys, published last week. It surveys how boys and young men are faring in Britain and finds that in several areas there is now a reverse gender gap, with boys, particularly those from poorer backgrounds, struggling to keep up with girls.

When it comes to education, girls outperform boys at GCSEs and A-levels, and the ratio of women to men at university is 60:40. Boys are more than twice as likely to be excluded from school, with rates of exclusion particularly high for those from disadvantaged backgrounds. This is all feeding through into labour market outcomes: in the 00s, women aged 16-24 were more likely to be not in employment, education and training than young men; in recent years, that has flipped, with young men also significantly more likely to be unemployed than young women.

'Work is under way to make all men in Poland undergo military training, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said.

In a speech to the Polish parliament, Tusk said the government aimed to give full details in the coming months.

Efforts are being made to "prepare large-scale military training for every adult male in Poland," he told the Sejm.

"We will try to have a model ready by the end of this year so that every adult male in Poland is trained in the event of war, so that this reserve is comparable and adequate to the potential threats."
...
Tusk said women may also undergo military training, but "war, is still to a greater extent the domain of men".'

This is an important call to action related to the previous video on Breaking the Feminist Lock on the Family. This post offers phone numbers and web addresses where you can suggest that the appointees to ACF and OCSS are not radical feminists and more importantly that you offer Stephen Baskerville and ThisIsShah as your choices for appointees.

Letter available here. Excerpt:

'The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) provides funding for military DV programs, which are influenced by VAWA, thereby distorting overall military effectiveness, supported by Women Industry civilian contractors with ties to VAWA-funded programs outside the military establishment. We are directly involved in several military cases wherein highly awarded, competent, and career-minded personnel have been or are being railroaded out of the military and even imprisoned due to false accusations driven by political pressure, command staff, and agreeable, if not inept, judge advocate attorneys.

Corruption, malfeasance, and maladministration must stop. Those involved must be held accountable, go to prison, and make restitution. Restitution should be to the state and to those who have been harmed.

Hence the open letter to DOGE below. Please pass it around. It may help. Post it wherever you can please on social media sites.'

'Most young women are scared of men their age, according to a poll which reveals the impact of so-called “toxic masculinity” on the sexes.

Nearly two-thirds of women aged 18 to 24 are living in fear of their male peers, research by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) found.

With International Women’s Day on Saturday, a Whitestone Insight survey commissioned by the think tank found that 62 per cent of young women believe most young men are “pretty frightening”.

More than two-fifths of young men (41 per cent) agree with their female counterparts.

The finding features in Lost Boys, a study published by the CSJ that details the plight of Britain’s boys and young men.

Not only are males now falling behind females in education and the workplace, but they are also increasingly viewed with suspicion by women.'

'OK, men, so will you finally quit complaining?

In 2021, Joe Rogan famously said, “It will eventually get to straight white men are not allowed to talk…It will be, ‘You’re not allowed to go outside’…I’m not joking. It really will get there, it’s that crazy.” But Rogan’s complaint is actually an old one that has exploded as a rallying cry every decade or so for more than 50 years. White guys have blamed others for their job losses, educational failures, economic problems and drug addictions.

Somebody else is always at fault. The mighty white guy, it turns out, is quite the delicate flower.

'The National Coalition for Men (NCFM) filed a lawsuit against the state of California for violating the equal rights of boys and of men.

Suicide, overdose, and alcohol death in California increased 49% for its boys and men from 2018 and 2019 to 2022 and 2023, and boys and men account for 75% of all the deaths of despair in California—a topic I discuss in my new book Boys, A Rescue Plan: Moving Beyond the Politics of Masculinity to Healthy Male Development and coauthored with New York Times best-selling author Michael Gurian. We argue that brain-sex difference matters and understanding those differences are critical in helping boys and men and girls and women in all sorts of areas.

Boys and men account for 75% of all the deaths of despair in California.

'The occasion for these declarations was Trump’s all-out assault on trans rights. Since taking office, the president has used executive orders to attempt to restrict the ability of trans Americans to travel, work, receive medical care, serve in the military, attend school and participate in women’s sports. Though there are thought to be fewer than 10 trans athletes among the more than half a million competing in college sports in the US, it was this sports-related executive order that prompted certain, trans-exclusionary feminists to declare Trump’s feminist bona fides.

How did we get here? How have we arrived at a place where self-identified feminists ally themselves with a man who has so extravagantly dedicated his personal and political lives to the humiliation, domination and degradation of women and girls?
