'A Monash University project which aims to counter the growth of “toxic masculinity” in Australian classrooms has been slammed for failing to distinguish the views of Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate.

Teachers at independent and Catholic schools will be given conversation guides and role-play scripts as part of the project, which will see Monash University’s Arts and Education faculties develop school-based early intervention programs to “identify and tackle the harms of online misogyny and gender-based violence in schools”.

A media release about the project, which is funded by Australia’s National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety (ANROWS), warns “toxic masculinity and misogynistic gender narratives” gaining traction online are seeping in to classrooms, threatening gender equality and contributing to gender-based violence.'

'Collin Mertz, a 23-year-old farmer in North Dakota, believes American men like himself have been targeted by liberals in the push for diversity.

“It would seem the white male is the enemy of the left,” said Mertz, who voted for former President Donald Trump in 2020 and plans to do so again in November.

Lauren Starrett, a 28-year-old engineer in Cincinnati, feels a personal threat from conservatives seeking to scale back access to abortion and other rights.

“It’s kind of terrifying, really,” said Starrett, who backs Vice President Kamala Harris.

Some men say they have lost economic, cultural and political influence to women amid the focus on equity and diversity. Others expressed resentment over feminist and progressive attitudes on college campuses, in the entertainment industry and at many workplaces.

'A sperm donor has won parental rights over a lesbian birth mother's only child in a landmark case.

The ruling was handed down in June by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia which denied the mother's parental responsibility for the nine-year-old.

The court instead ruled in favour of her former partner and their sperm donor.

The custody battle has lasted for almost five years between the three adults, costing them hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal costs, The Herald Sun reported.'

'I recently attended a workshop intended for women therapists who are interested in learning more about working with men. At one point, the female workshop leader asked the group of mostly women to raise their hands if they liked men. About one-third of those in attendance immediately and enthusiastically raised their hands. In conversation afterward, most of these women said they were very close to their fathers, their brothers, or other men in their lives. Another third of the workshop participants slowly and hesitantly raised their hands while simultaneously glancing around the room to see what others were doing. Lastly, about a third of the women in the room never raised their hands. Keep in mind that the people attending were presumably there because they are interested in doing psychotherapy with men.

'Toxic masculinity and misogynistic gender narratives are gaining traction online and in Australian classrooms, threatening gender equality and contributing to gender-based violence. A new project from Monash University aims to support secondary school teachers to tackle the influence of these harmful online ideologies on young boys and men.

The two year project, funded by Australia’s National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety (ANROWS), will see a collaboration between Monash Arts and Education Faculties to establish school-based early intervention programs to identify and tackle the harms of online misogyny and gender-based violence in schools.

The project will involve three phases over 18 months. The first phase involves in-depth research into the influence of manosphere content on Australian boys and young men. This data will guide focus groups with young Australians to explore their interactions with manosphere content both online and offline.

'A recent study published in Evolution and Human Behavior offers new insights into the complex motivations behind female infidelity. The findings reveal that women who cheat are typically more physically attracted to their affair partners but view their primary partners as better co-parents. This suggests that women may cheat to obtain “good genes” for their offspring while relying on their primary partners for parenting support. Additionally, the study highlights several other motivations for infidelity, including relationship dissatisfaction, the desire for variety, and revenge.

Interestingly, the study also found that men exhibited similar patterns to women in their infidelity behavior. This suggests that men, like women, may also engage in infidelity to seek genetic benefits from physically attractive affair partners while valuing their primary partners for parental investment.

'The head of the company in charge of broadcasting the Olympic Games has called on camera operators to avoid “sexist” portrayals of female athletes at Paris 2024.

Yiannis Exarchos, CEO of Olympic Broadcasting Services, said his company and the Games as a whole are committed to equality between the men’s and women’s competitions this summer.

“Women are not there because they are more attractive - they are there because they are elite athletes,” he said.

He added: “[Equal participation of women] is not enough. It has not been enough for us. We wanted to make sure that the actual sports content was also reflecting this equality.”'

'James Carville, Bill Clinton’s famed pollster and political strategist, did not mince words last month when he, not for the first time, fired off a salvo at the ailing body of the Democratic Party. In an interview with Jonathan Capehart of The Washington Post, Carville offered an indictment of “NPR-sounding” “female preachiness”: “We know what’s best for you, don’t eat hamburgers, don’t watch football, don’t drink beer. Guess where our young male number is going? In the toilet, alright? Because Democratic messaging, I’m sorry, is too feminine, it just is.”

Not even a reminder from Capehart to be mindful that we are living in the 21st century made any impression on the Ragin’ Cajun, whose Southern drawl makes speaking and understanding postmodernese too difficult. In national elections, only binary sex matters.

Now that Kamala Harris has been elevated to the position of Democratic Party standard-bearer, the problem with “female preachiness” can only become magnified.

'2. I don’t allow (or use) disrespectful language - Last month, my son asked me if it was ok to call a woman a bitch, even if it wasn’t to their face. No stars for guessing what my response was. However, the fact he asked suggests he knew it was wrong (he was probably testing boundaries, too), so I calmly explained why it was a degrading term, even as a joke. I’ve also become aware of the language I use about men and myself. A casual ‘dickhead’ remark if a driver cuts me up could be perceived as negative by my son, as can calling myself a ‘stupid cow’ if I’ve dropped the milk. If I’m saying these thing about others and myself, what’s that telling him?

8. I avoid the term ‘toxic masculinity’ - I found that when I used the term 'toxic masculinity', my son became defensive and rightly so, I referenced it at first, so my son knew what I was talking about, and then moved away from it. Phil agrees, 'Parents need to focus less on masculinity being a problem and more on masculinity being a healthy and natural expression in many boys and young men.'

'No men will compete in synchronised swimming at the Olympics, despite Paris 2024 vowing to be the first gender-equal edition in the history of the Games.

The 96 athletes picked by 18 different nations for the Olympics were all women.

In 2022, World Aquatics changed the rules, allowing up to two men to be selected in an eight-athlete synchronised swimming squad.

"World Aquatics is very disappointed that no male artistic swimmers have been selected for Paris 2024" they told Euronews in a statement.

"This should have been a landmark moment for the sport. We understand that it would always be a challenge for men to earn a spot on a team in time for Paris 2024, considering that their eligibility was only confirmed 18 months ago, but we were still hopeful that some would succeed."

Neither World Aquatics nor the International Olympic Committee have a say on the picks, as they are always decided by the individual national federations.'

'Deputy Chief Constable Maggie Blyth said officers who focused on violence against women and girls were now working with counter-terrorism teams to look at the risk of young men being radicalised.
...
Speaking about harmful content online, she said: "We know that some of this is also linked to radicalisation of young people online, we know the influencers, Andrew Tate, the element of influencing of particularly boys, is quite terrifying and that's something that both the leads for counterterrorism in the country and ourselves from a VAWG [violence against women and girls] perspective are discussing."'

'Plans to tackle misogyny in schools could take up to 20 years to have an impact on society, the safeguarding minister, Jess Phillips, has said as she outlined measures to protect women and girls.

Phillips spoke the day after the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) estimated that 2 million women were victims of violence perpetrated by men each year in an epidemic so serious it amounts to a “national emergency”.

One of Labour’s five missions is to halve violence against women and girls in a decade, by targeting perpetrators and addressing the root causes of abuse and violence.

The minister for violence against women and girls said “Raneem’s law” was already in the works, and would ensure police forces provide protection to victims of domestic abuse. But evidence that some of the government’s policies are working – such as addressing misogyny among schoolchildren – could take years to emerge.'
