'“Dominating, aggressive forms of hegemonic masculinity are not meeting the needs of men or women to live nurtured, emotive and interconnected lives. Because both women and men suffer under hegemonic masculinities, it is pivotal that men work toward gender equality and developing new forms of masculinities,” Tshoaedi said.

Hegemonic masculinity is defined as a practice that legitimises men's dominant position in society, while justifying the subordination of marginalised groups and women.

Tshoaedi argued that men’s involvement in gender equality will have a “humanising effect”.

“The concept of 'caring masculinities' encourages men to participate in projects on gender equality. It calls for the adoption of values and characteristics of care, which negate hegemonic masculinities.

“Caring masculinities requires men to rethink ideas of power and how we use that power. It calls for using one’s power to engage in resistance against patriarchal domination and control that is harmful,” Tshoaedi said.'

'The royal couple's own charity, Archewell, is backing the State of the World's Fathers report by the Equimundo Center for Masculinities and Social Justice.

Washington DC-based Equimundo says it works on "promoting environments that support boys and young men to live out diverse, equitable and healthy masculinities".

The charity also "engage[s] men in gender equality" by "transforming intergenerational patterns of harm and promoting patterns of care, empathy and accountability among boys and men throughout their lives."'

'What is the patriarchy?

I bet most people reading this haven’t a clue.

Even I don’t really understand it, and according to radical feminists, I’m supposed to be the very personification of what it supposedly represents.

Yet it’s a word that is said so relentlessly in the smash-hit new Barbie movie that it’s worth knowing exactly what it means.

The literal translation, derived from the ancient Greek word “patriarkhēs,” is “rule of the father” and denoted the reality at the time that men were the titular heads of most families and organizations.

But in recent times, the concept of “the patriarchy” has been hijacked and corrupted by feminazis to suggest that every aspect of life and society is dominated by powerful, privileged males over subjugated, underprivileged females.

In short: Men are evil oppressors, women are unimpeachably perfect victims, and anyone who dares challenge this notion is a disgusting misogynist.'

'The Biden administration gave $2 million to a George Soros-backed nonprofit to stop violent crime in Puerto Rico by teaching the island's young men about "structural racism and toxic masculinities."

President Joe Biden's Justice Department in October awarded the lucrative grant to Taller Salud, a "feminist, culturally specific nonprofit organization" in Puerto Rico. The money comes from the department's Community-Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative, which aims to address crime through police alternatives. Taller Salud, which receives funding from liberal billionaire George Soros's Open Society Foundations, will use the $2 million to further implement its "community violence intervention program," which includes "public education campaigns" to address "structural racism and toxic masculinities" among Puerto Rican men between the ages of 15 and 30.'

'As a UPS delivery driver in Dallas, Texas, Seth Pacic is intimately familiar with the dangers of extreme heat. After a long day’s work through record-breaking temperatures in summer 2011, he found himself dry heaving in the parking lot, incapable of driving home until he spent an hour and a half in the air-conditioned office.

“It was one of the worst feelings I’ve ever had in my entire life,” he said. “I didn’t feel like I fully recovered for a couple of weeks.”'

'A new law making public sexual-based harassment a crime is being introduced, but many fear it will be unenforceable.

One charity told the BBC there was little chance of getting convictions.
...
The government-backed bill, which has been passed by the House of Commons and is now being considered by The House of Lords, could see people convicted of catcalling, stalking or other intentionally sexual behaviour, jailed for up to two years.'

'You may recall the campaign running on national television a few years ago. The ads were part of the Australian government’s campaign designed ‘to help break the cycle of violence against women and their children’.

It suggested that all of the perpetrators of domestic violence were strictly male. For example, the Albanese Labor government is presently funding a range of new initiatives through this budget to help deliver the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022-32.

But what about domestic violence against men?

I have no intention of minimising the problem of domestic violence against women and children. One must speak out loud and clear about violence against anyone regardless of age, gender, and sexual orientation.

However, it is a myth that domestic violence is all about men hurting women in heterosexual relationships. Domestic violence is also a ‘silent epidemic’ in lesbian relationships.

'Another week passes and another woman is killed by a man known to her. Yet boys and men take issue with violence being presented as a problem with men.

Men cause violence. Men are responsible for violence. Men are violent.

Women have been fighting for decades to shift the responsibility of violence from the victim to the perpetrator, from women back to men. But men and boys push back against these phrases, demanding qualifying words like ‘some’ or ‘not all.’

The reaction is difficult to take when violence in society is statistically the work of men. Is the male ego so fragile, I’ve often asked myself? Why can’t a man nod his head and say: ‘Yes, it is a male problem and it is truly awful’?'

Considering the aforementioned position of law, the Court concluded that the applicant cannot be impleaded in criminal charges especially when the complainant consented for continuing physical relationship even after the marriage of the applicant.'

'The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan has today launched a major new campaign to empower men and boys to say ‘Maaate’ to their mates as a means of challenging sexism and misogyny in society.

The innovative campaign aims to help men and boys confidently step-in when they witness language and behaviour towards women and girls that crosses the line.

This is part of the Mayor’s refreshed strategy to tackle violence against women and girls (VAWG) that champions a public health approach, encouraging all of society to play their part and putting the onus of responsibility on men and boys to change the way they perceive, treat and talk about women.'

'For many of us, it’s not very hard to see why boys and men are in crisis. We live in a society which tends to casually and routinely denigrate manhood, commitment, marriage, and fatherhood.

Self-determination and sexual promiscuity reign. The birth rate is down, marriages are falling, and divorce is up. Being masculine in the right sense of the word is shunned. To compound the masculinity crisis we are facing, a great proportion of people are no longer able – or willing – to differentiate between male and female for fear of being seen as politically incorrect. This is well evidenced in the acceptance of and ideological takeover of transgenderism, especially among the young, many of whom accept the lie that there is no such thing as biological sex, hook, line and sinker.

'Is it harder to be a young man than a young woman in 2023?

Feminist icon — keep reading — Caitlin Moran has spent years being asked this question.

The first time I heard the British author bring it up I was like Pavlov’s pooch, waiting to witness one of the faces of fourth wave feminism tear it up. Men? They make more money than women (on average), hold most positions of power (overwhelmingly) and 1 in 3 of them hasn’t been abused. Plus, if they lose their temper nobody suggests they’ve got their period.

Instead I was surprised to hear Moran suggest that, in some ways, men are having a rougher time of it than we think. And last week Moran published a more detailed response to this question in her book, What About Men?'

'The Committee for Home Affairs said it wanted to strengthen laws to offer greater protection to victims.

It is proposing the criminalisation of non-physical forms of domestic abuse to deal with coercive or controlling behaviour.

The committee said research around domestic abuse had changed significantly in the last 20 years.

He said: "Historically domestic abuse was looked at through the prism of violence, and as abhorrent as domestic violence is it has been recognised that domestic abuse can take many forms, such as coercion, control, intimidation, and they can result in significant harm to victims.

"We need legislation that matches our improved understanding of the impact of domestic abuse and our committee hopes the States agrees."'

Article here. Excerpt:

'The measures announced today expand on the government’s ongoing work to tackle domestic abuse including:

Putting controlling or coercive behaviour on a par with physical violence, which will mean offenders sentenced to a year or more imprisonment or a suspended sentence will automatically be actively managed by the police, prison and probation services under multi-agency public protection arrangements.

Recording offenders sentenced to a year or more for controlling or coercive behaviour on the violent and sex offender register.

Trialling stricter management of domestic abusers, who could now be fitted with a tag, prevented from going within a certain distance of a victim’s home, and made to attend a behaviour change programme, using domestic abuse protection notices and domestic abuse protection orders in three areas in the UK.

'The findings highlight concerns about unsafe contact orders in private law children’s proceedings, in particular when allegations of “parental alienation” are made.

It says claims of parental alienation – a term used to describe the unwarranted rejection of a parent by a child because of manipulation by the other parent – as a counter-allegation to claims of domestic abuse are having a “chilling effect” on the ability of parents to disclose abuse in order to ensure safe contact arrangements for their children.

Jacobs said there was a feeling among victims and survivors of abuse that these counter-allegations were taken more seriously than allegations of domestic abuse.

She told the Guardian: “We tend to see counter-allegations weighted and explored in parallel. And what we really want to see is a child-centred approach and a full understanding of domestic abuse before we even consider the concept of alienation.”'
