'On Thursday, some individual players and at least one club -- the Cincinnati Bengals -- announced they would not be doing interviews in their locker room going forward.

"As you've heard from a couple of teams now and the NFLPA is going to come out with a statement, in an effort to protect the sanctity of the locker room and the comfort of the players, each team is going to figure out a program to where we conduct our interviews outside of the locker room," said Bengals center, Ted Karras, the team's union representative.
...
But what has caused the change in how players view this policy has come in recent years when electronic media captured interviews on camera, and sometimes caught players in compromising states of undress.'

'Today, however, acting justice Stephen Marshall of the supreme court overturned the tribunal’s order, ruling that the Ladies Lounge was not discriminatory.

The “intention was to promote equal opportunity by drawing attention to present and past societal disadvantage to women by providing them with the concept of a ‘flipped universe’,” Marshall said. “[It provides] women with a rare glimpse of what it is like to be advantaged rather than disadvantaged.”

He pointed out that the tribunal failed to consider structural discrimination related to women’s status in Australia. The case will return to the tribunal for reconsideration.

“The [Supreme Court] judge’s verdict demonstrates a simple truth: women are better than men,” Kaechele proclaimed on Instagram after hearing of the decision. “The judge sided with the arguments put forward by our all-female team.”'

'Richard Reeves, founder and president of the American Institute for Boys and Men, a nonpartisan research organization, said shifting political views among young men were the result of feeling less at home on the left than prior generations because of an unwillingness on the left to talk about problems men specifically face while at times painting them as problematic.

“That’s partly because of the kind of gender dynamics we see kind of playing out on the left,” he said. “More a sense of [political] homelessness and more a bit of detachment, a bit of retreat. It’s not a stampede over to the right.”'

'It is no secret that the Democratic Party has a problem with male voters. If the polls are to be believed, any hope the party has of winning the presidential election relies on appealing to women at the expense of men.

But, perhaps concerned that Vice President Kamala Harris’s lack of appeal to men may prove fatal in the presidential election, the Harris campaign and the Democratic Party are out to redefine what it means to be masculine, and the newly arrived definition is effectively the male version of stay in the kitchen.

In her latest cringeworthy interview as an MSNBC commentator, former White House press secretary Jen Psaki shares the gospel of new masculinity by praising second gentleman Doug Emhoff for “reshaping the perception of masculinity” by being “a supportive spouse.”

'French professor Olivier Roy recently highlighted the profound societal changes in traditional norms and structures in Western societies in recent decades. (1) In his book The Crisis of Culture, Roy argues that the deculturation of society has contributed to a crisis in which the roles and well-being of men have been increasingly neglected. This oversight has significant repercussions for families, economic stability, and even national security.

Labor Force: Many of the problems can be traced to the declining labor force participation of men. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio’s landmark report, The State of the Working and Non-Working Man, highlights the alarming decline in male labor force participation in recent decades. (2)

'In Spanish, parents call it encaminado: making sure your children are on the path to an independent adulthood.

Out of Dan and Joana Moreno’s four grown children, only their daughter is encaminada. She recently graduated from business school and got engaged. The Morenos’ three adult sons are still sleeping in their Miami childhood bedrooms. The younger two dropped out of college, and the oldest never went. All three are single. Their only work experience is with the family business.

“Something has gone amiss here,” says their father, Dan, who owns the repair chain Flamingo Appliance Service. “We love them, we love having them around, but that’s not how you build a life.”

The life trajectories of America’s sons and daughters are diverging.'

'The Justice Secretary has announced moves to send fewer women to prison, as she warned jail time “forces” many of them into a “life of crime”.

Shabana Mahmood said a new women’s justice board will be tasked with reducing the number of women going into prison, with the “ultimate ambition” of having fewer women’s prisons.

She added a new strategy will examine early intervention to resolve cases before they go to court, “viable” community alternatives to prison and ways to address concerns over self-harm.

Ms Mahmood said a change of approach would “cut crime”, keep families together and prevent “harm” to the next generation.

There are 12 women’s prisons in England and Wales, a far lower number than the institutions used to house men, meaning they tend to be located further away from their families.'

'Our civilization is held together by a pact: mid men get pussy, everyone else gets core infrastructure.

This pact harnesses the single greatest source of psychic energy known to man: men’s desire to secure the partnership, youthful attention, and children of attractive women. It comes at a cost — high status men have to give up access to pussy they’d otherwise have, mid women have to settle for mid men early instead of sharing a high status man for a bit and then otherwise remaining single / mercenarily marrying at old age, which they’d prefer … but the cost is almost certainly worth it for everyone involved. Plumbing is nice, you know.'

'First lady Jill Biden on Monday unveiled a new set of actions to address health inequities faced by women in the United States, plans that include spending at least $500 million annually on women’s health research.

Jill Biden made the announcement at this year’s Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting in New York, moments before the organization honored President Joe Biden with the 2024 Clinton Global Citizen Award.

The additional government spending will mainly come from the Department of Defense, which provides medical care to more than 230,000 active duty military women and nearly 2 million military retirees, as well as their family members. The research will focus on why these women experience endocrine, hematological and other immunity-related disorders twice as often as men.

'The National Women's Council (NWC) has joined with other groups in calling for a 40% gender quota for local election candidates to be introduced as a key measure to address gender inequality.

For general elections, political parties must field 40% female candidates or they will lose 50% of their annual State funding.'

'Young men are becoming increasingly anti-feminist, according to new research. In the U.S., 45% of men ages 18-29 say they face discrimination, according to a Brookings Institute poll. The trend is similar in Europe and the UK, where young men express growing resistance to gender diversity initiatives.

Workplaces where men compete to demonstrate their masculinity often suffer from toxic cultures, low safety standards, misconduct and abusive leadership. They also exhibit more negative attitudes and behaviors towards women and LGBTQ+ individuals, studies show, which encourages harassment.

To counter these trends, corporate leaders can adopt strategies that highlight alternate models of masculinity; address men’s resentment towards gender equality policies; guard against masculinity contest cultures at work.'

'Just a couple of weeks ago, the dean of social sciences at Wesleyan University voiced worries that space exploration may follow a “European Christian imperialist” pattern, and that indigenous beliefs about “celestial bodies” won’t be taken into consideration.

There’s also the “indigenous scholars” who warned merely listening for evidence of alien civilizations could be interpreted as “eavesdropping” and/or “surveillance.”

Now, the Canadian Department of National Defence thought it a prudent use of taxpayer funds to spend over $32,000 for an “intersectional feminist” perspective regarding space-related development.

'Across the developed world, girls and young women have been pulling ahead of boys and young men in education for several decades, with much larger proportions going on to attend university than their male counterparts.

This trend has generally been treated more as something to remark upon than to act on. The myriad domains in which women remain at a disadvantage to men have understandably led to efforts at achieving gender equality becoming synonymous with advancing women’s opportunities and outcomes. Men have always gone on to have better labour market outcomes anyway, and if women outperform men in education, this helps narrow the overall male advantage — or so the thinking has gone.'

'Cutting of boys’ and girls’ genitalia is a debated human rights topic. Here, the first aim was to summarise why parents choose to have these procedures performed on their children. Results from 22 survey studies on ‘male circumcision’ and 27 studies on ‘female genital mutilation’ revealed that non-medical reasons, such as tradition, are prominent in the decisions for both procedures. The second aim was to describe researchers’ use of medical words (i.e. ‘circumcision’) and non-medical words (i.e. ‘cutting’, ‘mutilation’) when referring to these procedures. Relevant phrases were searched in titles and abstracts of articles indexed in PubMed.'
