Trinity School staffer admits to sneaking political ‘agenda’ into NYC classroom, video shows

Article here. Excerpt:

'Elsewhere in the secret recording, Norris suggested she has issues with some white male students on campus.

“Unfortunately, it’s the white boys who feel very entitled to express their opposite opinions and just push back,” Norris said. “There’s a huge contingent of them that are just horrible. And you’re like, ‘Are you always going to be horrible, or are you just going to be horrible right now?’ Don’t know.”

When asked if there was any saving Republican white guys, Norris responded: “I don’t know. I think they need to go. I think they’re really awful people. That’s kind of what I’m afraid of with my white students that are rich. I’m like — do you ever have to deal with this? They’re so protected by capitalism. It makes me sad.”'

It is exposing buried secrets – Supermodel Faith Morey writes on why every man must have a DNA test

Article here. Excerpt:

Writing further, Morey narrated how her close friend was left devastated and heartbroken last week after he discovered that his beloved 10 years old son is not his biological child.

Buttressing her point, Morey said a lot of men have been raising children that are not theirs and there is nothing as painful as that.'

Russians flee to Mongolia to escape Putin’s call up as men are ‘dragged from beds in dead of night’ to fight in Ukraine

Article here. Conscription is a huge violation of men's civil rights. Yet the UN and other supposedly human rights-concerned agencies remain silent. Excerpt:

'As the fear of conscription ripples through Russia, some men have been hauled out of bed in the middle of the night and told they had four hours to pack their belongings and obey the mobilisation order.

There were reports of people cowering behind doors and refusing to accept the military summonses.

In Luchegorsk, men who refused to open doors at night were handed the summonses when they arrived at work this morning.

Some 60 men were taken to Bikin, in Khabarovsk region, and sent into the hands of the Russian military machine.

Footage showed Russians enlisted by Putin's mobilisation being taken to training camps.

One man made a last-ditch attempt to escape the enlistment office in Blagoveshchensk by leaping out of a first-floor window.'

If I mention the ‘modern male struggle’, do you roll your eyes? It’s time to stop looking away

Article here. Excerpt:

'We need to talk about the troubles of men.

No, really. Even if the thought of being asked to sympathise with the modern male struggle makes you roll your eyes or turn the page, it’s worth examining that irritable kneejerk reaction more closely. Progressives should be able to acknowledge some real and serious problems – boys underachieving at school, high suicide rates among middle-aged men in particular, the online radicalisation of an angry fringe drawn to violent ideologies – without making women and girls feel guilty about their achievements or pretending that feminism has somehow gone too far. But that balance can be surprisingly hard to achieve in practice, as a thoughtful new book by the former Downing Street staffer Richard Reeves makes clear.'

Amazon Studios Reportedly Scrapped a Gritty Conan the Barbarian Series, Forced it To Move To Netflix

Article here. Excerpt:

'Amazon could have Conan the Barbarian as a hard-hitting reply to Game of Thrones before it was scrapped due to some pretty messed up issues. If the name sounds similar to you, then yes, this series was set to follow the same source material that was followed by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1982 critically and commercially acclaimed movie. But unfortunately, the project moved to the hands of Netflix as Amazon Studios Head found Toxic Masculinity in the project.
...
“Where others saw the next Game of Thrones in Ryan Condal’s Conan scripts, Jennifer Salke saw only toxic masculinity. As such Ryan Condal was fired, Conan was scrapped, and Jennifer Salke picked The Wheel of Time to be Amazon’s more adult-oriented Game of Thrones replacement. Although she made sure to make it even more female-centric than it already was just to be sure there would be absolutely no toxic masculinity.”'

FDNY firefighters are overwhelmingly white men. The City Council wants to change that.

Article here. Excerpt:

'New York lawmakers announced new legislation on Monday that would require the FDNY to hire more women and minority firefighters, the latest push to diversify an agency that has been repeatedly sued for discriminating against non-white applicants.

The legislation would require the FDNY to develop and implement a plan by March 1st to ensure firefighters “reflect that of the city’s population as a whole.” Currently, more than three-quarters of firefighters are white men, and less than 1% are women.

The package would also broaden transparency requirements within the department, while mandating the FDNY survey each firehouse to identify facility upgrades needed to achieve a safe environment for a mixed-gender workforce.

The bills follow several other legislative attempts to solve the agency’s diversity problems – a threat not just to equity, but to the “fundamental safety of all New Yorkers,” according to Council Speaker Adrienne Adams.'

Men in Russia fleeing due to conscription order

Article here. Can you blame them? Excerpt:

'Within hours of Vladimir Putin’s announcement that he was introducing “partial mobilisation,” to bolster his crumbling army in Ukraine, Russian men began to flee the country in huge numbers.

Russian defence minister, Sergei Shoigu followed up Putin’s speech with an announcement that 300,000 reservists would be conscripted into the armed forces.

Biden Administration Guts Due Process Protections for Students Accused of Sexual Misconduct

Article here. Excerpt:

'College students investigated for sexual harassment or assault will once again be stripped of due process, thanks to new regulations released by the U.S. Department of Education in June.

The new rules, which apply to investigations under Title IX, part of a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, rescind rules crafted and implemented by former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos during the Trump administration. They mark the return of the "single investigator model," which empowers a single college administrator to investigate, judge, and sanction alleged misconduct.'

Why boys should start school a year later than girls

Article here. Excerpt:

'The value of a later start, which many teachers and administrators call “the gift of time,” is an open secret in elite circles. And it’s a gift overwhelmingly given to boys. In the past few months, I’ve interviewed dozens of private-school teachers, parents, educational consultants, and admissions officers, largely in the D.C. metro area. I learned that a delayed school entry is now close to the norm for boys who would otherwise be on the young side. One former head of an elite private school who now consults with parents on school choice and admissions told me, “There are effectively two different cutoff dates for school entry: one for boys and one for girls.”

American boys and men are suffering — and our culture doesn't know how to talk about it

Article here. Excerpt:

'Our men and boys are in trouble. In the U.S., nearly four times more likely than women to die by suicide. They have more emergency department visits and deaths due to overdoses. They are less likely to receive treatment for mental health issues. They have a lower rate of participation in the workforce. They are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD and autism. They are more likely than females to drop out of high school, and the ones who do go on to college are less likely than their female peers to graduate. They are barraged with constant and conflicting messages about what it means to be a man, and the consequences of failing to live up to other people's ideas about modern masculinity can be severe. And all of this is difficult to talk about because the simultaneous culture of misogyny and the war on women's rights is so intense, it has created a zero sum game expectation around our basic humanity.

Perspective: The real reason the all-women workspace failed

Article here. Excerpt:

'Though the company claimed that its financial troubles were due to COVID-19 — no one wants to cowork in a pandemic — the truth is that the model of women-only business environments is a scam sold to ordinary women by wealthy feminists looking to make a buck. Women operate in the same economy as men, and it’s silly to pretend they can build a wall around themselves to keep out men or all the problems that supposedly come with them (“mansplaining” to name one).
...
To make matters worse, women initially weren’t even allowed to have men attend meetings they were hosting in the workspace. That should have been a sign the founders were living in some kind of feminist la-la land.

Toxic masculinity is part of elite hockey. We need a culture shift

Article here. Excerpt:

'Players learn this toxic masculinity, and are rewarded for those behaviours at a very early age and from many people. Perhaps that is why my research met a great deal of resistance from sport administrators, coaches, parents, and fans. It is easier to blame "one bad apple" than to accept partial responsibility for encouraging a toxic masculine culture.

When I suggested a number of educational workshops and shifting hockey culture from toxic masculinity to a model centred around the pursuit of excellence, I often got accused of disliking hockey and sports. But trust me, nothing could be further from the truth.'

Revolting Mother Busted For Series Of Vile Snapchat Vids

Article here. Keep your barf bag handy. Seriously, there are some graphic descriptions you may want to brace yourself for. Excerpt:

'In a series of vile Snapchat videos, a 26-year-old mother of two recorded herself engaging in sexual activity with her three-year-old son and, while breastfeeding her younger child, filmed the family dog licking her private parts, according to Florida court records.

Natalie Wagner, 26, is facing scores of felony counts in connection with 15 separate videos that investigators received last month from Snapchat following the issuance of a subpoena. Wagner, seen at right, is being held in the St. Lucie County jail in lieu of $1.2 million bond.

Until her arrest last month, Wagner shared a Port St. Lucie home with her husband and the couple's two young boys. At the time of Wagner’s bust, the minors were removed from the residence by child welfare officials. A judge has barred Wagner and her spouse--who has not been charged--from having any contact with the children.'

Male Poverty Increases according to U.S Census Bureau Report

Article here. Excerpt:

'On Tuesday, September 13, the U.S. Census Bureau released its Poverty in the United States: 2021 report. The number of males who fell below the poverty line increased by 398,000 from 2020 to 2021 while the number of females declined by 13,000. Although the percentage of females living in poverty in the report was higher by 2.1%, (12.6% to 10.5%) there are other factors that impact our understanding of poverty thresholds and eligibility for programs.

Poverty thresholds, which is the purpose of the Census Bureau report, simply measure poverty and does not determine eligibility for certain federal programs. Guidelines for eligibility is more a function of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This difference may explain some of the reason males tend to have a harder time when it comes to eligibility, particularly when government and state agencies form councils on women in an important attempt to quantify the challenges facing them. The same agencies do not exist for boys and men, so their eligibility is often understated.'
