'The University of Kansas announced Friday that an instructor is no longer employed there after a video showed him “making a highly inappropriate comment in his classroom suggesting violence against individuals for their personal views.”

University officials didn’t name the instructor, but the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) has identified him as Phillip Lowcock, a health sport and exercise science lecturer who allegedly made an offhand comment in class that men who wouldn't vote for a woman for president should be shot. By Friday, Lowcock's profile page was no longer on the university's website.

Asked whether Lowcock was fired or voluntarily left, a university spokesperson said in an email “that’s a personnel issue the university is not able to discuss.” Inside Higher Ed was unable to reach Lowcock Friday.'

'An investigation into academic hiring outcomes for biological-science roles has suggested a surprising trend: women who applied for assistant professor positions in North America were more likely to get job offers than were men.
...
Overall, women were at an advantage. Two-thirds of women in the sample received at least one job offer compared with half of the men. The advantage is particularly notable because men had slightly more first-author publications in highly ranked journals. “Men had a few more CNS [Cell, Nature, Science] papers, but women were getting more job offers,” Jadavji says.'

'"Gender stereotyping in job ads can lead to a self-selection bias, where women choose not to apply for these jobs, even if they meet the qualifications, due to the perception that they are not a good fit," found the study.

It added that "stereotypically male job ads" can also "lead to a bias in the hiring process, where women are unfairly evaluated as being less competent or less suitable for the job".

IAB researchers evaluated listings for 710 occupations published on one of Germany's largest online job portals, BA Jobbörse.

They found that more jobs were actually gendered towards women, rather than centred around 'masculine' language.

Even so, the report found that in certain fields such as STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths), the majority of job descriptions used "masculine" terms.'

'A diversity, equity and inclusion expert had her former boss placed on administrative leave for reportedly prioritizing merit over personal identity when hiring new employees, according to a report.

Megan Donecker, who formerly served as the Oregon Department of Forestry’s DEI strategy officer, complained about the agency's management, criticizing her boss Mike Shaw for looking "beyond gender and identity in hiring, seeking only candidates most qualified for the job," OregonLive reported.

'“This is just a huge economic fact that lies behind a lot of this sense of cultural dislocation among men, this sense of not really knowing whether you are going to be needed, or feeling like you’re failing against the standard that was set 50 years ago about the position of men and women in the labor market,” said Richard Reeves, president of the American Institute for Boys and Men, which he founded to study the unique problems males face.

Reeves said his research indicates that a sense of economic and social dislocation could also be contributing to higher suicide rates among young men and wider substance abuse.

“It’s a very, very difficult and painful transition right now between some of the cultural expectations we have about the role of men and the economic reality on the ground,” he said.'

'Would a curfew for men lead to less violence against women and girls?

That’s the provocative question at the heart of Curfew, the new drama series on Paramount+.

Set in a dystopian future, the show imagines a society where all men live under The Women’s Safety Act and are subjected to a government-imposed curfew from 19:00 to 07:00, with their movements tracked 24/7 by ankle tags.

The goal? To drastically reduce violence against women.

However, as the series unfolds, the discovery of a murdered woman during curfew hours casts doubt on the effectiveness of the policy, raising broader questions about the limits of such measures.'

'Filmmakers looking to shoot on the iconic streets of Paris will have to promise to fight sexism, discrimination and sexual violence on set under a regulation adopted Friday by city lawmakers.

The regulation, due to take effect on January 1, requires production companies seeking a permit to film in the French capital to sign a charter pledging to promote gender balance on set, train crews against sexism and fight gender discrimination and violence.

Companies will also have to put special measures in place to protect those involved in shooting sex scenes -- a side of the industry that has been transformed since the "Me Too" movement exploded in 2017.

The measure "extends that adopted by the National Cinema Centre, which only applies to the film industry", said deputy mayor for culture Carine Rolland.'

'Psaki then referred to Emhoff as a “wife guy” and then claimed some people are not comfortable with “fierce women, strong women, intelligent women.”

Like Emhoff, Walz and every other man are simply supporting characters for the female lead. The left doesn’t allow strong men who might disagree with women because it destroys female empowerment.'

'Barack Obama is urging Black men to step up their support for Kamala Harris, a sign that her campaign is worried about what is typically a reliable demographic for Democrats.

Referencing reports that support for Harris is lagging among Black males, the former president gave what amounted to a scolding as he made an unscheduled stop at a campaign field office in Pittsburgh.

“You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, I’ve got a problem with that,” he said. “Because part of it makes me think— and I’m speaking to men directly— part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”'

'Vice President Kamala Harris made an inaccurate claim on a popular podcast this week.

The Democratic presidential nominee appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast and repeated an emphatic no when asked by host Alex Cooper if any laws exist that give the government control over a man’s body.

Many people cite selective service as an example of governmental control over men’s bodies. Men aged 18 to 25 must register, unlike women. If drafted, those men must fight wars they did not want to fight. Some men have been killed. Our country has living veterans of World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War who are products of the draft. We cannot say the same about women.'

'Teenage boys face investigation by anti-terrorism officers if they make sexist remarks in the classroom, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The Home Office is considering plans to allow teachers to report misogynistic comments to the government's Prevent programme, which was set up to combat Islamic extremists. Even comments about a 'woman's place being in the kitchen' could be enough to spark a referral to the unit, sources said last night.

Critics say the move would dilute Prevent's work in deradicalising potential terrorists at a time of huge global tensions.

'From 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' to 'The Tiger Who Came To Tea', woke campaigners have taken offence to many beloved books.

Now, scientists claim that even our school textbooks are sexist.

Researchers from the UK's Center for Global Development analysed the contents of 1,255 textbooks from 34 countries around the world.

They found that the textbooks mentioned women half as often as men and were far less likely to describe their careers and achievements.'

'“Everything is changing as the population expands. People may not manage to follow the cultural processes,” he said, citing the economic hardship and commercialization he said were diluting the communal aspect of Imbalu. “But we are fighting through the clan system that (Imbalu) remains intact.”

But the Ugandan government’s intervention has raised eyebrows among many Bamasaaba and underscored angst over the most important ceremony for this ethnic group of four million Ugandans. Some who spoke to the AP said they felt the Umukuuka, in his first year in office, was trivializing Imbalu by exposing it to outside interests.

The mass circumcisions will last until the end of 2024.

'A Palm Beach County jury awarded a boy $100 million in a medical malpractice case after a failed circumcision he received as a newborn by Dr. Berto Lopez of West Palm Beach.

According to the lawsuit filed by the boy’s family, Dr. Lopez butchered the infant’s surgical procedure on February 15, 2021, ten days after the Florida Board of Medicine revoked his medical license.

“At first, I didn’t really know what was going on. I wanted to believe the doctor because he said he hit an artery, and that’s why all the bleeding was happening. It was fairly quickly that we realized that he committed such a horrible injury on our son,” said the Riviera Beach father, who we’re not identifying to protect his son’s identity.

“The damage is almost the entire head of the penis has been transected or amputated,” Cohen said. “In the records it says, more than 50%."'
