The names of his accusers and the details of their claims were withheld, making it impossible for him to defend himself.'

The Navy Quietly Reshuffled The Super Bowl Flyover Team To All-Female Aviators

Article here. Excerpt:

'The U.S. Navy quietly ditched a team of aviators scheduled to conduct a traditional flyover before Super Bowl LVII and replaced it with a group of all female aviators, Military.com reported Friday.

A final roster first announced Thursday on Good Morning America featured 11 female pilots and flight officers out of a total of 16 aviators, seven of which are scheduled to perform the spectacle kicking off Sunday’s big game, according to Military.com. However, the original group of 15 flight officers featured three women, according to a press release dated Jan. 27, and were presented as a commemoration of 50 years of female participation in the Navy’s aviation program.
...
The initial announcement, still reflected in some social media posts, shows a small number of comments deriding the apparent lack of women in a lineup that was supposed to honor female Navy aviators. Most of the initial social media posts have since been deleted, according to Military.com.'

Why MeToo fallout is wrecking the lives of schoolboys

Article here. Excerpt:

'Boys are being damaged by “an excessive cultural shift” against them triggered by the #MeToo and Everyone’s Invited movements that has left many lost, insecure and traumatised, according to top child experts.

Julie Lynn-Evans, a psychotherapist with 35 years’ experience, says the two movements involving girls and women speaking out about sexual harassment have led to a “dangerous” backlash against boys. Many have done nothing wrong.

While her clients during lockdown were mostly teenage girls with eating disorders, or who were self-harming, they are now “exclusively” boys who have been ostracised, punished or even expelled for behaviour that she describes as little more than clumsy “teenage fumbling”.'

Toxic masculinity fuels dangerous driving like drink, French advert says

Article here. Excerpt:

'A road safety awareness campaign in France is tackling the role of gendered behaviour behind the wheel, warning for the first time that toxic masculinity could be as important a contributing factor to road deaths as speed, alcohol, drugs and fatigue.

The campaign’s video – released for the web, TV cinemas on Wednesday – shows men at the births of their sons and seeks to portray them as thoughtful and sensitive in contrast with the revved-up virility of macho stereotypes.

“Speed, alcohol, drugs, fatigue … what if we need to add masculinity?” asked the French road safety body of the list of factors that typically lead to road accidents.'

Don Gale: For better government, Utah should elect more women

Article here. Excerpt:

'Utah voters should elect more women to the Legislature and other government positions – not to achieve some sort of gender equality but because women would surely do a better job of serving the state and its citizens. Consider what has happened already at a Utah Legislature dominated by self-serving males.
...
Surely, female legislators would be more concerned about the wishes of their constituents.
...
Surely, thoughtful women would care more about the democratic future of the state and its residents.
...
Surely, women would be more considerate about troubled young people and their need for identity.
...
In response, voters must vote for lawmakers who care about their constituents, who believe in democracy, who have compassion for youth, and who are well-informed about issues.

That means voters must elect more women.'

'Toxic masculinity' fear, media portrayal as 'fools' contributing to men leaving workforce: Mikhaila Peterson

Article here. Excerpt:

'Host of the "The Mikhaila Peterson Podcast" and daughter of Jordan Peterson, Mikhaila Peterson, joined "Fox & Friends Weekend" on Saturday morning to share the factors contributing to the decline in men participating in the workforce. Peterson stressed that the media's portrayal of men, and the relationship between men and women play a role in the decline.

According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report, over 7 million men, ages 25 to 54, have left the workforce in 2022.

"I think there's a number of reasons," she said. "I think the increase in mental illness plays a role. So 50% of people will be diagnosed with a mental illness at some point in their lifetime, and that's going to contribute to men dropping out of the workforce."'

I heard my son make a sexist comment, so I canceled his birthday

Article here. Excerpt:

'A furious mom overheard her teenage son make a sexist comment in front of his friends – and has decided to punish him in a controversial way.

His birthday party was coming up, so she thought it would be the perfect occasion to teach him a lesson.

Without a second thought, she canceled it. But when she posted about the incident in an online parenting forum, the internet encouraged her to reconsider her decision, telling her it was “overkill.”
...
“They’re asking him about his bisexuality, things like when did he come out, when did he first date a guy, what were the differences between guys and girls,” the mom continued.
...
Eventually, they asked him what his preference is and he said, “Naturally, I don’t have a preference. I’m attracted to guys and girls the same, but after dating girls and guys, I can say women aren’t worth the trouble.”'

UK: Online misogyny set to be outlawed

Article here. Excerpt:

'Misogynistic abuse should be banned online, the Government believes.

Michelle Donelan, the Culture Secretary, is understood to believe the Online Safety Bill has the power to stamp out attacks on women on the internet.

The plans to crack down on online misogyny come as leading Tory peers including Baroness Morgan, a former culture secretary, are pushing for the law to go further to include a legally-enforced code of practice requiring social media firms to prevent online violence and abuse against women and girls.

Under the new Online Safety Bill, which is currently being finalised, social media firms will be required by law to abide by their terms and conditions, which generally bar misogynistic abuse.

Failure to enforce the terms and conditions will result in fines, and their services could be blocked by Ofcom, the online watchdog.

Further measures require big social media platforms to provide users with optional online tools that would allow women to screen out misogynistic abuse.

The Tragic Disconnect Between Men And Women – No Sex, No Babies, Lots Of Loneliness, Shrinking Populations

Article here. Excerpt:

'The news is full of seemingly disparate themes that urgently need connecting. The first is the nerdy macro-economics of demographics. China is shrinking for the first time in 60 years. South Korea’s birthrate is plummeting towards levels never seen before while that of the US is at a hundred-year low. The second strand is the toxic masculinity seeping across the planet, from the Tates and the Trumps, to the beleaguered backlash from women-repressing regimes in Iran and Afghanistan, and the general rise of gender-based violence across the world. The third is the crescendo of mental health and loneliness among the young. What’s the connection between demographics, toxic masculinity and epidemic levels of loneliness? Women.

Progressivism, at war with masculinity

Article here. Excerpt:

'The cultural battle is fundamental for the left, and that’s why it’s been very concerned lately about the recent rise of all kinds of thinkers, creators, and influencers who reclaim the concept of masculinity.

Jordan Peterson —from academia— and Andrew Tate —from gyms and social media— are perhaps the two perfect examples to demonstrate how much this male reaction to the insistent Marxist gender ideology of recent years encompasses.

The left is aware of the danger of reinforcing the classic concept of masculinity that goes against the Marxist New —deconstructed— Man. That is why, in the cultural battle, they are working hard to destroy the likes of Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate.'

Journalists reject objectivity as an 'outmoded,' 'failed concept:' 'World view of middle-aged white men'

Article here. Excerpt:

'A new report featured dozens of journalists and media experts who widely reject the concept of "objectivity," which was once a longstanding principle in the news industry.

The lengthy piece, titled "Beyond Objectivity," published last week by Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication put a spotlight on what it deems a "generational shift" when it comes to objectivity.

"[W]hen misunderstood, journalistic ‘objectivity’ or ‘balance’ can lead to so-called ‘bothsides-ism’ – a dangerous trap when covering issues like climate change or the intensifying assault on democracy," co-authors Leonard Downie Jr. and Andrew Heyward wrote in the report's introduction.
...
"If the term objectivity means the world view of middle-aged white men, it has become attacked as a word that is used to keep the status quo," Buzbee said.'

The Future of Hogan Lovells—and Maybe Big Law—Is Female

Article here. Excerpt:

'I find most of Big Law’s efforts promoting gender equality to be lame, but Hogan Lovells’ new partnership class got my attention: It is 58% women.

What’s thrilling is that women at Hogan not only beat the odds—the 2,800-lawyer firm only made 38 partners—but also came up on top. It sure is nice to see more firms announcing new partnership classes that are close to 50% women. But it’s much more satisfying when women cream men at their game.
...
For women, it’s also critical to support them when they are mid-level associates, a time when many leave. “The important thing is making sure they’re engaged in the work, that at the mid-level point they can see a path,” Shaw said.

And to keep the partnership pipeline pumped with women and diverse candidates, Hogan has a program called “Momentum” that provides training and support for senior associates who show promise for partnership. “Our DEI provides the support to ensure that there’s stickiness to keep them,” Shaw said.'
