'Spain has taken a series of measures to stamp out abuse of women recently and now one city is going further by punishing those who are caught insulting female drivers.
The local government of San Fernando, in the southern region of Andalucía, has approved a new municipal regulation imposing fines of up to €100 on those caught making sexist comments aimed at drivers.
The text of the new rule states that “the act of insulting other drivers, especially because of their sexual condition, can be deemed a traffic violation” and it states that people using public spaces “should respect norms of co-existence, with particular consideration when it comes to avoiding behaviour that denigrates drivers because of their sex”.'

'A cheating wife made false rape claims against her husband and bombarded him with abusive messages after she vowed to “destroy” him has been spared jail.
Former town councillor Sharon Taylor’s 21-year marriage to husband David broke down after she admitted having an affair.
Mr Taylor moved out of their semi-detached home in Malvern, Worcestershire, last year but his wife sent “non-stop” abusive messages to her estranged husband that demanded he continue carrying out household chores, as she refused to accept the marriage was over.
The mother-of-two said in one message: ”I want to destroy you.”
Between March and April this year she sent him 216 messages including one branding him a “robotic Nazi”.'

'“I didn’t know that men could be doctors,” my son said to me when he was about six. We were driving home from a visit to the pediatrician. I was perplexed. But then I realized that the doctor we’d just seen was the first male physician he’d encountered.
I reassured him that men could indeed be doctors. But I was careful to add, “and nurses, of course.” His observation was a powerful reminder of the feminist mantra: “you have to see it to be it.” If any particular activity, including a job, is seen as being for people of the opposite sex, it is unlikely to feature in your own aspirations.

'This bias against boys could mean the difference between a pass and a fail, and could have wider consequences in areas such as college admission, job choice and earnings, the researchers warn.
"There is a strong correlation between having higher grades and desirable educational outcomes, such as gaining admission to good colleges or having a lower probability of dropping out of school," said Ilaria Lievore.
...
In line with previous studies, the girls performed better than the boys in the standardised tests of language, while the boys were ahead at maths.
But the teachers put the girls ahead in both subjects. The girls' average grade in language was 6.6 out of 10, while the boys got 6.2. In maths, the average for the girls was 6.3, while the boys averaged 5.9 - below the pass mark of 6.
The analysis also showed that when a boy and a girl were similarly competent at a subject, the girl would typically receive a higher grade.'

'But while this began as a solution to certain problems within these communities, it has had the unintended effect of exacerbating them. The Democratic Party's subversion of male responsibility and authority within the home has made it increasingly antagonistic toward men and the traditional family structure. President Obama was routinely criticized by his liberal Black base whenever he promoted marriage and fatherhood in speeches to Black audiences. And since then, those progressive critics have become the official voice of the party: The 2020 Democratic party platform did not contain a single reference to the importance of marriage and the nuclear family.
The Left's detachment of parenting from marriage is not confined to elected officials. Most people associate Black Lives Matter with criminal justice reform, yet none of its 13 founding principles mention police brutality. The co-founders were clear, however, about their desire to "disrupt" the nuclear family.

'Tate himself says: “I am simply saying things that many men think, believe and feel.” I’m not sure that this is true. It’s unlikely that most his viewers are so passionately anti-feminist. But simply dismissing Tate as a misogynist or an opportunist is not good enough, even though he is both. His appeal should instead be seen as a leading indicator of some of the genuine disorientation being felt by millions of boys and men.

'Many men have been staying off the streets out of fear of being handed a draft notice. As Olya came to work last Friday, she said, she witnessed the authorities at each of the four exits of the metro station, checking documents.
Her boyfriend, who was a barber at the salon, has also fled, and the separation is taking a toll.
“Every day is hard,” acknowledged Olya, who like other women interviewed did not want her last name used, fearing retribution. “It is hard for me to know what to do. We always planned as a couple.”
She is hardly alone. While there are still plenty of men in a city of 12 million people, across the capital their presence has thinned out noticeably — in restaurants, in the hipster community and at social gatherings like dinners and parties. This is especially true among the city’s intelligentsia, who often have disposable income and passports for foreign travel.'

'American feminism is dead. May she rest in peace.
Though little was said about it due to the pandemic, the year 2020 was the 100-year mark for American women’s suffrage. In a subsequent Pew Research Survey, women were asked about the impact of feminism on their lives; 41% of women said it helped them at least a little; one in 10 said feminism helped them a lot; 7% said feminism hurt them, while half said it has neither helped nor hurt them personally.

Article here. From 2021 but still very relevant. Excerpt:
'For a particular faction in feminism, which was extremely small at the time, Me Too was from the very beginning a tool for implementing perceptions that re-define womanhood, manhood, sexuality – humanity – and not in a way that drives humanity toward a humanist vision. For them, Me Too was not primarily about providing support and encouraging law enforcement, but, a means of overt violence and intimidation for re-education, of all men and all women, as to what is a woman and what is a man, and what are the relations between them and their meaning – that is, what is human. Re-education for the purpose of creating a person who conforms with the beliefs of the group that I will refer to here as “the Gender Church”.

'Police and military officers swooped down on a Moscow business center this past week unannounced. They were looking for men to fight in Ukraine — and they seized nearly every one they saw. Some musicians, rehearsing. A courier there to deliver a parcel. A man from a Moscow service agency, very drunk, in his mid-50s, with a walking disability.
“I have no idea why they took him,” said Alexei, who, like dozens of others in the office complex, was rounded up and taken to the nearest military enlistment office, part of a harsh new phase in the Russian drive.
In cities and towns across Russia, men of fighting age are going into hiding to avoid the officials who are seizing them and sending them to fight in Ukraine.'

'Last week, a shocking moment of truth broke through the huge effort elites normally put into hiding their disdain for the rest of us. At an event sponsored by the libertarian Cato Institute, President of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, Adam Posen—a man who appears to be paid $450,000 a year—made clear his absolute contempt for the working class.

'Prosecutors claim 21-year-old Eleanor Williams, from Barrow-in-Furness, is a "serial liar" who used false text messages and Snapchat conversations to bolster claims she had been trafficked and raped by multiple men.
Crown Prosecutor Jonathan Sandiford KC told the jury although Ms Williams was on one occasion discovered with multiple wounds on her body after going missing, the prosecution claims "the injuries had been self-inflicted with a hammer."
Ms Williams faces seven counts of perverting the course of justice. It is claimed she made false allegations of rape and violence against her between 2017 and 2020 to work colleagues, medical professionals, health workers and the police.
She is accused of faking evidence such as text messages on mobile phones and social media in which her alleged abusers and traffickers appeared to discuss or admit their supposed crimes, as well as messages in which she and other supposed victims appeared to discuss being trafficked or sexually exploited.'

'In today’s workforce, only slightly more women than men are college educated; yet, significantly fewer (33%) hold senior management roles. If women overtaking men in education bodes well for gender equality, the current gender gap in leadership positions is a reminder of how much harder women must work to get the same opportunities afforded to men.
...
Concurrently, the anti-woke capitalism movement has revealed its fangs. Under the banner of “protecting excellence,” venture capitalists and businessmen have started organized actions to marginalize corporations that seek to create greater diversity. This not-too-closeted effort to ensure male primacy in boardrooms and other executive settings finds additional energy in the resurgence of the “bro” lingo and in sectors of corporate culture like tech and finance.

'Nick Lombardo got a $4,500 lesson on the military draft in his Kent State tuition bill.
The 2021 graduate of a private high school in Akron neglected to sign up for the Selective Service System, as all American men are expected to on their 18th birthdays. Though a draft hasn’t been called up since the Vietnam War, failing to register with selective services is grounds for felony prison time, hefty fines, denial of employment (like a job with the United States Postal Service) and — on a state-by-state basis — extra tuition or all-out bans on enrolling in public colleges and universities.
As members of Congress debate whether to abolish or expand the program, Lombardo joined the college-aged men in Ohio charged hundreds of thousands of dollars, likely millions, in extra tuition since the 1980s.'

'For over two decades now the frequency of sex between men and women has been continuously dropping in young people. A study from 2020 that analyzed data collected between 2016 to 2018 has reported that 31% of guys in the age of 18 to 24, and 19% of girls of that age, did not have sex in the year preceding the study. While among guys this was a 63% increase in sexlessness from 19% in 2002 to 31% today, for girls the change was much smaller, from 15% to 19% today. That is, sexlessness is currently 63% higher in guys than in girls, while in 2002 it was 26% higher in guys; in the 1970s it was probably reversed and lower in guys than in girls, making the shift an extremely dramatic and radical one. During the period between 2002 and 2018, in men aged 25-34 there was a doubling in sexlessness from 7% to 14%, compared to a smaller rise in women from 7% to 12%, that again recapitulates the reversal of sexlessness between the sexes, from a flipping-point in 2002 when the rates where the same.
