From breadwinners to bystanders: The death spiral of the American working man

Article here. Excerpt:

'Something strange is happening in America’s job market. For the first time in living memory, young men with college degrees are struggling to find work, while women with the same qualifications are thriving. What once seemed fixed — the old order of men filling the top jobs and women fighting for entry — has been flipped. And the consequences could be severe.

The numbers paint a disturbing picture. Men with college degrees are now more likely to be out of work than women with the same education. To compound matters, men’s pay has barely budged since 1979, whereas women’s earnings keep climbing. More worrying still, a growing number of men are no longer looking for work at all. They have simply checked out.'

UK: Criminal charges against Andrew Tate dropped

Article here. Guy's an a-hole. That doesn't make him a rapist though. "Some justice," as they say. Excerpt:

'ANDREW Tate's rape charges in the UK have been dropped, with the disgraced influencer moaning about his "mistreatment".

Three women in their late twenties and early thirties have accused Tate of rape and sexual and physical assaults - including holding guns to their heads and strangulations with belts.

But the CPS said today that the evidence did not meet the threshold to bring criminal charges, and they would be dropped - though the civil case continues.

Reacting to the news, Tate posted on X: "Romania? No case UK? No case USA? No case 4 months in jail, 3 years locked in my house.

"Endless media slander. 25million dollars stolen from me. Lawfare? – I’m one of the most mistreated men in history beside president Trump himself."

A CPS spokesperson said: "We undertook a further review of a case file in relation to allegations of assault and rape between 2013 and 2015.'

Masculinity: Assessing the Damage and Reclaiming Your Strengths

Article here. Excerpt:

'This is the final stretch in the gynocentrism series. In the earlier posts we looked at a definition of gynocentrism from chatgpt, noted that most of us have at least a little gynocentrism , saw how it operates beneath the surface of our culture, and how it offers women both protection and access to resources. We’ve also seen how feminism took that ancient system and weaponized it, and why men often fail to resist.

Now it’s time to turn the focus inward. This essay is about what you can do — not on a political stage, not in the culture at large, but in your own life and relationships. Before we talk about strategies, we need to start with something more personal: assessing the damage.'

How Two Young Men Got Pulled Into Internet Darkness, and How They Got Out

Article here. Excerpt:

'While the two young men fell into very different internet rabbit holes—one with alt-right leanings and the other on the far left—they were both drawn by a desire to find belonging and a yearning, they say, for the hero’s journey. For both, the result was depression and loneliness.

‘Men seem to make life for women worse’: single US women share the woes of dating in 2025

Article here. Excerpt:

'By 2030, 45% of prime working age women in the US, defined as women aged between 25 and 44, will be single according to Census Bureau historical data and Morgan Stanley forecasts – the largest share in history.

Hundreds of those women, from across the US, shared with the Guardian why they were single, how they felt about it and what they would be looking for in a future partner if they were still in the market for one.
...
One of the phrases respondents used the most was that they were looking for a partner capable of “adding to” or “enhancing” their life – as in, someone who was entirely self-sufficient and capable of adding romance, children or a unique intellectual connection to their lives. A large number of women complained about past suitors who had been “lacking effort” or “unable to keep up”.'

Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS) Is An Actual Condition — And It Could Explain A Lot

Article here. Excerpt:

'We seem to have reached peak “get off my lawn” culture, with men having temper tantrums all over the damn place. Whether they’re typing shrill all-caps messages, foaming at the mouth with road rage or aggressively punching holes in your drywall, men seem to be angrier than ever. And with a “boys will be boys” cultural mindset that provides a free pass on bad behavior to men well into their final decades, it’s hard to know when, or if, these antics will ever end.

Would it make you feel any better to know that there’s not only a possible medical reason, but even an accepted syndrome designation, for this way many men have of interacting with the world?

Maybe not, but the term “irritable male syndrome” does exist, and in the two decades since it was coined, it’s become accepted in medical and psychological circles. While not a clinical diagnosis, experts say it’s an accurate description of a cluster of symptoms that often appears in aging men.

Dr. James Nuzzo Cancelled for Challenging Feminism and DEI

Article here. Excerpt:

'Join me as I talk with Janice Fiamengo and researcher Dr. James Nuzzo about the shocking story of his academic cancellation. What begins as one man’s ordeal soon reveals how woke ideology and radical feminism are undermining science, silencing dissent, and eroding academic freedom. Thoughtful, eye-opening, and at times heartbreaking, this video exposes what really happens when universities put politics before truth.'

Dismantling Men's Masculinity

Article here. Excerpt:

'Our culture has slipped into imbalance. Instead of valuing both masculine (yang) and feminine (yin) traits, we treat yang traits in men as problems to be corrected while elevating yin traits as the moral ideal. This creates an environment where boys and men are shamed for expressing natural masculine tendencies, while the feminine is glorified as “healthier,” “safer,” or “more evolved.” To make matters worse, men are framed as the problem—legitimizing attacks against them—while women and girls are cast as victims, granting them cultural permission to adopt masculine traits. Boys watch in bewilderment as this double standard unfolds: masculinity is shamed in men but praised in women, and women are celebrated for both yin and yang traits. It defies logic, yet nearly every cultural institution reinforces it. We are living in a truly unbalanced world.'

I live in a women-only commune — there’s no men and no drama

Article here. Not really a bad idea, esp. for elderly women like these. I've often said that if women REALLY want to live without men around, they should endeavor to build themselves a city for women only. Thus far no one has taken up the challenge. Excerpt:

'The Bird’s Nest is a five-acre women-only commune, and the brainchild of 70-year-old Robyn Yerian.

Dedicated to ’empowering women’ the group ‘encourage, help, console and laugh with each other.’

‘This community is our little utopia,’ says Robyn. ‘We have dogs running around, and get together all the time. We are a bunch of really great friends.’

Robyn’s commune actually started by accident.

In 2002, she started to consider her retirement plans, and realised she’d struggle to support herself from the money she’d saved.

So, instead, she withdrew it, and bought five acres of land, costing her $35,000 (£25,926.41). A further $100,000 – cash from her life savings (£74,075.45) – was spent to make it liveable.'

The Stupidification of Women? The Hate on Campus? Look no Further

Article here. Excerpt:

'The following is the progression of ‘evolving’ for modern left-of-center women, for whom finding a meaningful work is the number one priority, children being the last, as the below illustrates.
...
When the recognition of slim to no talent or at least un-sellable talent, is made and a future of grinding for multinationals is revealed, and spiritual enlightenment or Kundalini awakening seems out of reach, the desperation moves onto Democrat politics, and ends in middle-aged and elderly woman on the streets, face contorted in rage. Those women, a full 40% of whom are childless and family-less, spend their lives slogging away in some corporate or health or educational structure, becoming semi-insane. As an aside note, in my years-long investigation of voter fraud, many of the operators are women just like these below: middle-aged, put together, well dressed, polite, fully criminal.'

The decline of sex and the alpha male

Article here. Excerpt:

'And can you blame her? Over the past decades, women’s emancipation went ahead, while men’s opportunities and success declined. The evidence is everywhere, starting with education, where boys’ academic performance has worsened at every level. Romantic relationships have always been asymmetric, typically a higher-status man with a lower-status woman. The reverse has never been the norm and exceptions only prove the rule. With emancipation, many women have climbed higher up the social ladder. Men, over the same period, have not only failed to keep pace but have slipped downward. The result is a dating market with too many successful women, too many failing men, and a crisis. If modern Anna’s options look like Tim from Tinder, why bother losing a night’s sleep?

How viral man-hating memes went too far

Article here. Excerpt:

'That’s not to say there isn’t truth to what’s being said; in the dating space, Krenn has seen a major rise in the number of women publicly voicing anger, resentment, or dismissal toward men as a group, not just toward specific behaviours. “What was once limited to small communities or private conversations is now broadcast and consumed on a mass scale, and it has even become fashionable in some circles to speak about men in ways that would never be tolerated if directed at women,” he adds.
...
Short of half-heartedly repeating “not all men” like brainwashed cyborgs, it’s hard to know where to turn to improve any of this. Clearly, there are very real problems at the heart of the modern dating landscape, which are feeding a culture whereby it’s become normal to deride men in this way. But at some point, surely we have to find a way to move past this way of thinking? “To combat this cultural trend, we have to model and promote vulnerability, curiosity, and compassion in dating,” says Baum.'

Obesity Is Killing American Men

Article here. Excerpt:

'Recent data suggests that around 40 percent of adults in the United States have obesity, which sets the stage for high blood pressure, various forms of cancer and some 200 other complications. Men have similar rates of obesity as women, but they are less likely to seek medical care, making up only about 20 percent of bariatric surgery patients and around 22 percent of people on anti-obesity drugs. If men do take GLP-1 medications, a recent study suggests that they are also more likely to stop using them.

It’s hard to parse exactly why this treatment gap exists, but it’s probably tied to the greater societal focus on women’s bodies, and men’s general tendency to delay seeking health care, especially when it comes to weight. The consequences, however, can be severe, since obesity tends to be more deadly in men than women. And experts say that untreated obesity is one important contributor to the 5-year life expectancy gap between men and women.'

Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Her research shows that the reason fewer men are enrolling in veterinary school boils down to one factor: the number of women in the classroom.

For every 1% increase in the proportion of women in the student body, 1.7 fewer men applied. One more woman applying was a greater deterrent than $1000 in extra tuition!
...
Since males had dominated these professions for centuries, you would think they would leave slowly, hesitantly or maybe linger at 40%, 35%, 30%, but that’s not what happens. Once the tipping point reaches majority female- the men flee. And boy do they flee!

It’s a slippery slope. When the number of women hits 60% the men who are there make a swift exit and other men stop joining.'
