'On the phone with Obama, Pelosi said Democrats shouldn't consider their wipeout as a referendum on health care reform. Instead, she blamed White males upset with high unemployment rates for Democratic losses.

"Our members have said they don't regret their health care bill right across the board. Even if we never passed health care reform, we were still going to lose this election because of 9.5% unemployment. ‘Cause it wasn’t about that, it was about jobs," Pelosi assured the president.

"The White male thing is just — that's a dominant thing. When they don't have a job, they get in a mood," she said. "And, um, so we'll have to make some decisions in our caucus about how we go forward."'

'The government will now back legislation tabled by former business secretary Greg Clark.

Mr Clark said the intention of the bill is "to reinforce a change in the culture that establishes that it is completely unacceptable to abuse women in the streets".

During a debate in the House of Commons, Mr Clark said: "Public sexual harassment can affect men and boys, but we should be clear that it disproportionately affects women and girls."

The backbencher's bill aims to criminalise:

• Deliberately walking closely behind someone as they walk home at night
• Making obscene or aggressive comments towards a person
• Making obscene or offensive gestures towards a person
• Obstructing a person's path
• Driving or riding a vehicle slowly near to a person making a journey

As it stands, the bill will also introduce harsher sentences - increasing the maximum sentences from six months to two years.

Campaigners have also called for wolf-whistling and staring intently to be criminalised.

'The University of Houston Law Center recently hosted a lecture titled “The Jurisprudence of Masculinity.”

Keynote speaker and NYU law professor Melissa Murray defined the jurisprudence of masculinity as “a jurisprudence that prioritizes and protects rights that are coded and understood as male, as well as the men who would exercise those rights,” arguing that the Roberts Court has exemplified this jurisprudence.
...
Campus Reform has found, however, that women are often prioritized over men, putting into question Murray's case.

In custody battles, "women are awarded child custody in nearly 90 percent of all cases," according to Emy A. Cordano, Attorney at Law. This is because "women have always been considered superior parents," says Cordano.

But such preference towards women is not isolated to the courts. Universities perpetuate the preference towards women.

Stanford University, for example, is under investigation for discriminating against men, as Campus Reform recently reported.'

'The Supreme Court will "not hear an appeal" from Michigan State that "could have impacted how Title IX, the federal law that bans sexual discrimination in education, is applied to college athletics programs." The decision means that, for now, the case is "back in the hands of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and U.S. District Judge Hala Jarbou in Michigan." The case stems from MSU's decision in October 2020 to "eliminate its men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams at the end of the 2020-21 season."

'In short, Title IX has now become not only a weapon but a blank check for radicals in the federal government and on campus, who see the law as an opportunity to impose the latest progressive politics. As R. Shep Melnick observed in a 2018 ­survey: “Title IX initially focused on what happens in the classroom. That focus soon shifted to the playing field, then shifted again to bedrooms and bathrooms.” Title IX is now an instrument of “the much more ambitious project of changing the way we think about sex differences, gender roles, and sexuality in general.” And this ambitious project does not rely on persuasion. Dear Colleague letters and other mechanisms of bureaucratic maneuvering create a lawless system of coercion that tramples the basic rights of individuals and punishes dissent.'

'A Pennsylvania school board member who refused to vote for "the only cis White male" on the board to serve as president has decided to resign from her position at the start of 2023.

Upper Moreland School District board member Jennifer Solot made the comments during an open school board meeting on Dec. 6, just before a vote was held to appoint a new board president.'

'The villain is always a man. It is usually a man in a relationship with a woman, although sometimes it is a man dating a man. Nevertheless: man = villain. The victim is his romantic interest. They recount his behaviour, with the benefit of hindsight, and detail upsetting incidents, usually ones where they felt slighted in some way. These are typically imparted in the register now employed to describe a harm, which combines sombre, stark delivery with therapeutic jargon. The harm is not anything as easily categorisable as outright abuse, or sexual assault. It is a hurt, perhaps one of many, that have added up to create an ultimately “bad relationship”.

'Girls are outperforming boys in most Higher School Certificate subjects and doing almost as well in the historically male strongholds of mathematics and physics, leaving chemistry as one of the few subjects in which the top bands are dominated by boys.

Girls’ particularly strong performance in English renewed concerns about the subject’s mandatory inclusion in students’ Australian Tertiary Admission Rank, amid concerns it disadvantages boys.

Ahead of the release of Higher School Certificate results, NSW Education Standards Authority data from 2019 to 2021, obtained by the Herald, shows the trend of boys falling behind in key areas earlier in high school continues into senior years.'

'The Washington State Department of Health (WA DOH) decided to publish race-based overdose-death data prior to sex-based data, even as requested data shows 70-74% of WA overdose deaths were male in 2021 and preliminary 2022 data. The decision to prioritize the most current overdose-death data by race and not sex on the WA DOH website is a policy, priority decision in the same manner that the NCES reported drops in reading, prioritizing the narrative of one group while minimizing the narrative of a more marginalized group. As of December 9, 2022 the current overdose-death data in Washington State does not include overdose deaths by sex for 2021 and preliminary deaths for 2022.

'A school board in Pennsylvania had voted 8-1 this week against allowing one of their colleagues, Gregory D’Elia, to become the president of the board because he is a “cis, white male.”

“I believe that Mr. D’Elia would make an excellent president,” Upper Moreland School Board member Jennifer Solot said during the vote on Tuesday in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. “However, I feel that electing the only cis, white male president of this district sends the wrong message to our community — a message that is contrary to what we as a board have been trying to accomplish.”
...
Byrnes then conceded that she would vote for Stainback. Rose Huber also hesitated, but after a long pause, she also voted for Stainback. In the 8-1 vote, D’Elia was the only one to vote for himself.

D'Elia, the "cis, white male” school board member, was supported by the Upper Moreland Democrats when he ran in 2019.

'1. The feminist movement was a two-edged sword. As it sought to liberate women, it did so at the expense of men as it attacked so-called toxic masculinity. Along the way, it eviscerated the vital role of men as fathers, heads of households, providers and protectors.

Specifically, society at large encouraged men to get in touch with their “feminine-side” as they abandoned their traditional roles in family and society in deference to the ability of women to supplant them as equals.

2. The attack on men, became a war on boys. Even though nearly all scientific literature indicates that boys and girls mature at different rates and are stimulated by different things, mothers in the home and teachers in schools began to push back against the things that little boys are made of, including boundless rambunctious energy.

In the 1960s, with the dispensing of drugs like Ritalin, hyperactive young boys were diagnosed as having attention deficit disorders at twice the rate of girls and were deleteriously drugged accordingly.'

'Many men in the U.S. leave the labor force when their earnings decline compared with their better-paid peers, new research shows. The study found that more men drop out when workers' relative earnings fall.

The findings, from the Federal Reserve of Boston, help explain a trend economists have been puzzling over for decades: Why so many men have given up on the idea of holding down a job. Roughly one in nine men ages 25 to 54, an individual's prime working years, are out of the labor market today; that compared to one in 50 in the mid-1950s.'

'Two women who lost their jobs at Twitter when billionaire Elon Musk took over are suing the company in federal court, claiming that last month’s abrupt mass layoffs disproportionately affected female employees.

The discrimination lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal challenges over Musk’s decimation of Twitter’s workforce through mass layoffs and firings.

Days after the world’s richest man bought the social media platform for $44 billion, the company told about half of employees on Nov. 4 that they no longer had a job but would get three months severance. The lawsuit filed in a San Francisco federal court this week alleges that 57% of female employees were laid off, compared to fewer than half of men, despite Twitter employing more men overall before the layoffs.
...
The lawsuit alleges that also disproportionately harmed women, “who are more often caregivers for children and other family members, and thus not able to comply with such demands.”'

'My husband of 15 years has had a pretty hard time with not having great men in his life. His father used to hit him, his siblings, and his mother. His sister and her toddler were killed by her boyfriend. And his high school girlfriend killed herself after admitting to my husband that her grandfather had been raping her for years. When we first met, I loved dating a man who was so involved in women’s issues but now I feel it is too much. I’m a woman who has had great male role models in my life, my dad, my brother, my uncle, my teachers, my granddads, etc. I know how amazing men are and how much good they can do.

'Sens. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) will introduce new anti-harassment legislation Thursday that aims to strengthen Title IX protections for student survivors of sexual assault or harassment.
...
Casey and Hirono’s SAFER Act would amend Title IX and other statutes prohibiting sex-based discrimination to remove “unreasonably burdensome” standards for private harassment lawsuits seeking damages.

“So many students who endure sexual harassment or assault experience isolation, fear, and difficulty focusing on their education as they process a traumatic ordeal,” Casey said Thursday in a statement to The Hill. “To add insult to injury, students who report their experiences face an uphill battle to seek justice.”'
