'In resonance with how powerful men invoke due process to prevent accountability for sexual harassment, extremists complained that Obama-era guidance violated accused students’ due process rights to argue for weaker Title IX protections against harassment (never mind that the guidance required fair processes and was enforced to protect accused students). Indeed, men accused of sexual assault are suing their schools, claiming “anti-male bias,” dangerously suggesting that treating allegations of sexual violence seriously is an attack on men.

'In some family court systems, for example in state judicial systems in the US, some mental health professionals contend that parental alienation is a form of emotional child abuse.

The expert's report argues that the use of the unfounded and unscientific concept is highly gendered.

While it is invoked against both fathers and mothers, it is predominantly used against mothers, the report states, with the woman being accused of turning children against the father.

The consequences of biased custody decisions can be detrimental and irreversible to those concerned leading to a continuum of violence before and after separation, the expert said.

Despite these grave consequences “parental alienation” and related pseudo concepts are embedded and endorsed in legal systems across different jurisdictions, including amongst evaluators tasked with reporting to family courts on the best interest of the child.'

'Women who have suffered coercive control in intimate relationships are urged to take part in a new Trinity College Dublin study on this dehumanising form of psychological abuse.

“Women often feel trapped,” said the study's lead researcher, psychologist in clinical training, Niamh Brazil.

She said: “Coercive control encompasses specific tactics that perpetrators use to enforce obedience or provoke a particular response.”

"Coercive control is typically experienced by survivors as intimidation, use of force, threats, deprivation, or exploitation.

"A key piece is that, collectively, such characteristics are experienced as a lack of freedom and entrapment."'

'Labour frontbencher Lisa Nandy has criticised her own party for selecting five white male candidates for the upcoming by-elections forced by Tory and SNP woes.

The senior shadow cabinet member said it “certainly” bothered her Labour had gone with an all-white male slate for the crunch votes in the months ahead – insisting that “diversity matters”.

Female Labour MPs are said to be outraged at the decision, warning that it could set back the opposition’s mission to reflect the make-up of the UK population.

Asked if it “bothered” her that Labour’s candidates were all white men, Ms Nandy told BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg: “It does. It certainly does. Diversity in politics matters.”'

'Psychological and emotional forms of abuse tend to cause a more negative impact and greater feelings of fear than physical aggression.
That has been the finding of many studies, and it was a key theme at Northern Ireland’s first conference focusing on male victims of domestic abuse.

Dr Elizabeth Bates, a psychology lecturer at the University of Cumbria, told guests that female perpetrators used coercive control and gaslighting more often than outright violence, though it should be noted that many men have also been physically and sexually abused by female and male partners.

While most of the guests at the summit were women — possibly because they make up three-quarters of Northern Ireland’s community and voluntary workforce — male victims were also in attendance.

One man who did not wish to be named described how his former partner, who he was with for a decade, took control of his finances, sleep, food and, essentially, his entire life.'

Stumbled across an online magazine today called "Dominique Magazine". It's unabashedly pro-male and fights misandry. One example article is here. Excerpt:

'In the modern era of women (and men) celebrating and championing women’s liberation, independence, and ongoing quest for equality, it seems we’re shifting from fighting on behalf of women to blaming every nearby man for a woman’s problem.

Week after week, you will find online and in public, some women being unaccountable for their actions that were done by her hand, but despite not needing a man, not bowing down to a man, she will still find a way to blame a man for said problem.

'A Mayo Clinic College of Medicine professor was recently suspended — and remains under the threat of termination — after he told a news outlet his stance on trans-athletes in women’s sports and plasma treatments for COVID-19.

Administrators suspended Professor Michael Joyner without pay for a week, citing his “use of idiomatic language” and comments he made in a June 2022 New York Times article as justification for the disciplinary actions, according to a March 5 disciplinary letter that recently came to light.

The memo also told him to refrain from speaking to the media unless given permission.'

'Australian teachers have fired up over male students expressing their support for controversial social media personalities in the classroom.

One Perth teacher recently took to Reddit to ask: 'The high school I teach at has seen a huge increase in boys idolising Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate; how are schools addressing this?'
...
Some argued that while they didn't necessarily support their views, they were filling a gap for young boys.

'Kids get bombarded with messages about woman's rights, minority's rights, LBGT rights and indigenous rights. None of these are bad, but can be overwhelming. We need to provide them something other than these guys to latch onto,' one said.

Another said: 'Some teachers have extreme views and force them on kids. If people stopped telling young boys they're the problem then they'll stop seeking people like this.'

'A new law to give more protection to victims of domestic abuse has come into force.

The Domestic Abuse law means courts can give greater punishments to offenders while offering more protection to victims.

Offenders could now be jailed for up to five years and be given an unlimited fine for offences including coercion and controlling behaviour.

Lisa Leventhal from the Jersey Women's Refuge said the law would support victims as well as punish offenders.

She said: "It's preventative, and it also validates survivors experiences where... they feel that they're in some kind of acceptable relationship and [are] not.'

'The truth came to light through her newly released book, I Am Not Yvonne Nelson, where she shared her struggles and experiences.

One of the major revelations in the book revolves around Nelson's uncertainty regarding her biological father's identity.

She disclosed that her mother has deliberately kept his identity a secret, leaving her in the dark. This left the actress questioning her own lineage and feeling disconnected from her true roots.

The 37-year-old actress made a startling claim that her alleged father, Oko Nelson, is not her biological father.

This led her to question her entire family history and made her realise that she has been carrying the wrong last name all along.

Internet user, Sel The Bomb who delved into the book's contents disclosed that the actress had never met her father and that she is currently estranged from her mother due to this issue.

'A bill that passed the Florida House and Senate unanimously, coined "The Good Dad Act" is now signed into law. The focus — father's rights.

Last month, the ABC Action News I-Team shared the story of Ulysess Carwise, a Tampa father who has been fighting for custody of his now 5-year-old daughter, given up for adoption at birth by her mother without Carwise's knowledge or consent. His ongoing case highlights an often private battle unmarried fathers can face.

Because he is not married to his son's mother, legally, Jennings had no parental rights.

“My name’s on the birth certificate. I’ve been a part of his life since birth, I was there at the birth, but because she decided that she was no longer going to cooperate with me, the law was not on my side anymore," Jennings said. “The judge said that I had to serve her a petition for parenting. And I didn’t know where she was to be able to serve her."'

'Women — even those in Congress — are often the ones who take on many parenting responsibilities. Surveys conducted by the Pew Research Center prior to the COVID-19 pandemic found that women were more likely than their spouses to say they carried more of the load when it came to parenting. In another Pew survey conducted in October 2020, a few months into the pandemic, working moms were more likely than working dads to say their work-life balance had gotten harder since the start of the pandemic.

"Dads need to do our part in advancing policies that will make a difference in the lives of so many parents across the country," Gomez said.

Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro, who joined Gomez in forming the caucus, said men have a role to play in supporting policies that help working families.

"(Women legislators) deserve an extraordinary amount of credit, but they should also be able to count on male legislators to be partners in their fight from the beginning," Castro said.'

'Former Buffalo Bills punter Matt Araiza says he plans to sue the attorney who accused him of being involved in an alleged gang rape of a teenage girl during a college party.

Araiza was featured Tuesday on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel in a sit down interview with Andrea Kremer to discuss the lawsuit and the allegations made against him that may have ended his career as an NFL player.

A lawsuit filed in San Diego County Superior Court last year accused Araiza and two teammates of raping a then-17-year-old girl at a Halloween party at an off-campus home where Araiza had been living.

Shortly after the allegations surfaced, the Buffalo Bills released the punter last summer.

The San Diego District Attorney's office completed its investigation in December, stating they reviewed the San Diego Police Department's investigation and had no recommendation by the police department to file criminal charges.'

'The chief executive of OceanGate, who is among the five men aboard the company’s 6.8-metre submersible that went missing on an ill-fated dive to The Titanic, boasted that he didn’t want to hire experienced “50-year-old white guys” to pilot the vessel because they weren’t “inspirational”.

Stockton Rush, 61, made the comments in a newly resurfaced Zoom interview with technology company Teledyne Marine.

“When I started the business, one of the things you’ll find, there are other sub-operators out there, but they typically have, uh, gentlemen who are ex-military submariners, and they — you’ll see a whole bunch of 50-year-old white guys,” he said in the undated clip.'

'Toby Addison, 21, recalled the mortifying moment years prior when he was kicked out of the gym for “creepily” staring at a woman — despite the fact he cannot see — while on the “Happy Hour Podcast” earlier in June.

Addison, who shares his life as a blind person on his TikTok account, @blindtobes, said he was “minding his own business” during a workout when he heard a woman say: “Oh, do you like the view?”

“Obviously I don’t really know where I’m looking a lot of the time,” the content creator shared on the podcast. “I was just staring right ahead and unfortunately there was a woman doing some exercises.”

The psychology and counseling student was shocked when he realized she had come over to talk to him, adding that he obviously didn’t know what kind of exercises she was doing.
