'Two in five young Australian men have not sought help or support when struggling with their mental health, admitting they feel they have no one they can count on, “unnerving” new research shows.

The survey by men’s health charity Movember exposes the startling state of the nation’s mental health crisis, with more than half the 1008 respondents, all aged 18 to 30, also stating they feel “pressure around being a man” and anxiety about the future.

Two-thirds said they felt society didn’t understand young men.'

'Earlier this year it was reported that “A senior police officer has urged everyone who witnesses "intense staring" on the London Underground to report it, amid concerns it could be an early sign of unhealthy sexual behaviour… Posters have now been place in tube [train] stations across the capital stating: "Intrusive staring of a sexual nature is sexual harassment and is not tolerated"”.

It should go without saying that sexual harassment of any kind should be discouraged. However, we don’t all agree on what constitutes sexual harassment. In addition, the specific issue of intense/intrusive staring is in many ways subjective, so raises a lot of questions. I guess when thinking about how we are looking, and being looked at, on public transport, we should start with the question of how do we know when intense starting is of a sexual nature? And can women be charged with ‘sexual staring’ too?'

'James Cameron, writer and director of such films as the Terminator, Terminator 2, True Lies, Aliens, and Titanic said that earlier in his career he and his work were poisoned by the "toxin" that is testosterone while promoting his environmental activist agitprop Avatar sequel, due out in December.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Cameron said, "A lot of things I did earlier, I wouldn’t do — career-wise and just risks that you take as a wild, testosterone-poisoned young man. I always think of (testosterone) as a toxin that you have to slowly work out of your system."'

'A young woman accused of lying about being raped and trafficked by a grooming gang probably “self-inflicted” injuries using a hammer she bought from Tesco, a court heard.

Eleanor Williams, 21, was found in a field in Barrow-in-Furness on 19 May 2020 covered in bruises, with a black eye and with a fingertip almost severed.

She posted photographs of her injuries on Facebook, alongside lengthy claims of being sexually exploited and taken to “parties” across the north of England to have sex with Asian men, Preston crown court heard.

But police believe she made up the claims and she is now on trial accused of perverting the course of justice.'

'Stanford University is being investigated by the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) for bias against men. According to the complaint filed with the OCR, the elite school offers several programs to support women and no equivalents for men. The Stanford women’s programs are just the latest in a long list of university-based women's initiatives under fire for violating regulations that prohibit sex discrimination.

The original claim against Stanford included complaints regarding 27 Stanford programs that Moore and Pekgoz believed violated Title IX. This month, the Office of Civil Rights officially opened an investigation into five of these programs: Stanford's Women in Business, Women in Stanford Law, Stanford Women in Design, Stanford Society of Women Engineers and the Gabilan Provost's Discretionary Fund.

'These types of articles are important as our parents, educators, and policy makers look to close gaps and improve essential student skills, and I would encourage the Times and others to actually dig a little deeper. Discussions on “student groups” that do not disaggregate information by sex often miss the largest group of students struggling to close the achievement gap in reading and college participation, boys.

Discussing race and marginalizing sex is not unique to data collection, particularly in areas where boys and men are most impacted. In a recent GIBM report on the Status of Boys and Men in Washington State, GIBM learned that 2021 data and 2022 preliminary data on overdose deaths by sex was not readily available on the Washington State Department of Health (WA DOH) website, even as males historically represent the largest percentage of deaths by a significant margin. ...

'The time fathers devote to child care every week has tripled over the past 50 years in the United States. The increase in fathers’ involvement in child rearing is even steeper in countries that have expanded paid paternity leave or created incentives for fathers to take leave, such as Germany, Spain, Sweden and Iceland. And a growing body of research finds that children with engaged fathers do better on a range of outcomes, including physical health and cognitive performance.

As with practicing any new skill, the experience of caring for an infant might leave a mark on the brains of new parents. This is what neuroscientists call experience-induced brain plasticity – like the brain changes that occur when you learn a new language or master a new musical instrument.

'If you ask many single women to truly describe what they’re looking for in a mate, “masculine” is likely to be on the list. And yet, for many progressive women — especially those on the feminist left — any form of typical masculinity is seen as undesirable.
...
This reframing of typical male behavior as toxic has seeped into everyday life. Approach a woman at a bar and men risk getting called a creep. Act chivalrous on a date, and she may end up branding you sexist. Be lustful with a woman and she can, as was the 2018 case of actor Aziz Ansari, accuse you of sexual assault. Why develop into the type of masculine man women want, when masculinity itself is now so heavily pathologized?'

'In one video, Batra says her dating advice is to remain emotionally detached by seeing multiple people at the same time because "if you have lots of options, you have all the power."

"Don't accept a walk with a coffee as a date," she says. "The more money he's spending on you, the less he's spending on other women."

Batra told Insider her genre of advice is known as harnessing "dark feminine" energy, which encompasses being dominant and assertive, while leaning into womanhood.

"Women love it, they absolutely love it," Batra said. "You wouldn't understand how many messages I have right now saying, 'Can you get revenge on my ex for me?', 'Can you teach me how to do this?', 'Can you teach me how to disconnect from people?'"

'Why do so many women have it in for male cyclists? All the jokes about unsightly middle-aged men in Lycra, complaints about tight clothing revealing everything it shouldn’t… It seems there’s growing female irritation with blokes getting up at the crack of dawn, gathering in large packs to go through their paces, and sitting around in coffee shops having a manly chat. How dare they have so much fun?

I’m wondering if this is just one more activity that traditionally attracts men – a boys’ club – which women resent and want to take over. It reminds me of covetous children. Haven’t we all witnessed kids who have no interest in a toy or activity until it attracts the attention of another child, particularly a sibling? Then the battle is on, as the first child seeks what the other one has.

'The 8,600 square-foot space features a full-service bar with specialty coffee, open lounge space, meeting rooms, private call booths and a Mothers Room. All the artwork in Chief’s clubhouses comes from the women-led company Uprise Art, founded by member Tze Chun.

Over 300 members attended the launch event at the San Francisco clubhouse. Members flew in for the clubhouse opening night in late October. Some arrived straight from the airport. “So exciting!” one woman rolling a suitcase said as she greeted Childers and Kaplan with hugs. “I’ve f-----g earned this,” Kaplan recalled another saying.'

'Less than half of men report being satisfied with their friendships, and only about 1 in 5 said they had received emotional support from a friend in the last week, compared with 4 in 10 women, according to a 2021 survey from the Survey Center on American Life.

The falling off of friendships between men begins around middle and late adolescence and grows starker in adulthood, said Judy Yi-Chung Chu, who teaches a class on boys’ psychological development at Stanford University in California. And those who do maintain friendships with other men say they tend to have lower levels of emotional intimacy than women report.

“Boys don’t start emotionally disconnected; they become emotionally disconnected,” said Dr. Niobe Way, a researcher and a professor of applied psychology at New York University.

All humans have the innate capacity and desire for close, emotionally intimate connections with others. We need these relationships for survival as babies and then to thrive as we get older, Chu said.'

'Claims and allegations about the high school girl who allegedly joked about being raped by Grade 11 pupil Bafana Sithole should not be used as leverage to charge her, Mpumalanga police said.

Sithole died by suicide on the school premises last week after he was allegedly accused of raping a fellow pupil.

It is alleged that the girl, who cannot be named or revealed as she is a minor, allegedly later claimed that she did not mean what she said about the rape incident.

Mpumalanga SAPS spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala said there was still no solid evidence for the SAPS to arrest or charge the schoolgirl.

"In the hands of the police, no one has submitted a statement formally to say that the girl is sorry and that she falsely accused Sithole of such. If there is no one to take ownership, then we cannot say the girl falsely accused the deceased," he said.'

'Julia Fox revealed she doesn’t think men should have penises and got into a conversation about how she would kill off members of the opposite sex during an upcoming interview on Showtime’s “Ziwe,” to be aired Sunday at 11 p.m.
...
Fox said she would contemplate dating women because of the negative feelings she seems to have toward men. “They all, like, are equally horrible, to be honest. All men,” Fox said in the interview.

Fox then talked about the way she would kill men, saying in the interview she would make it appear to be an overdose. Interviewer Ziwe asked if she was “pro-women killing men.”
...
Fox went on to compare a penis to “a weapon of mass destruction.” Fox then appeared to stun Ziwe by saying if she was president, she would give every woman a gun and none to men. “I think it equals the playing field,” Fox said. “I think we wouldn’t get f—ed with so much,” Fox said.'
