Just discovered this movie. Michael Douglas puts in an Oscar-worthy performance as a divorced man who was fired from his defense industry job and one day just loses it. It's liable to be quite cathartic for some men who watch it. But lads, if anyone gets the urge to copy the main character, talk it out. This is after all just a cathartic fantasy film.

'Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently warned that building America’s artificial-intelligence infrastructure will require an army of electricians. The demand for data centers – both cloud and AI – is expected to double year over year. Mike Rowe has been sounding the alarm for years: the most "essential" jobs are the ones our culture stopped celebrating.

Here’s the truth: without skilled tradesmen, America grinds to a halt. No power. No housing. No data centers. No cloud. No AI.

Yet we keep pushing young people toward four-year degrees, often leaving them with six-figure debt, while treating the trades as a second-class option. Meanwhile, a "silver tsunami" is coming as baby boomers and Gen X tradesmen are retiring faster than replacements are entering the field.'

'Suffragette Mary Leigh had a long record of criminal convictions arising from her unrelenting advocacy for the women’s movement. On July 18, 1912, Leigh hurled a hatchet at Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, slicing through the cheek of an Irish MP.

Canadian commentator Janice Fiamengo would later write that the end goal of Leigh’s campaign was to “express a deep hatred for the male sex” and to “create a lasting sex-divide of suspicion and hostility that would transform British society.”

But in a society dominated by chivalrous impulses, the excesses of the suffragette movement were overlooked, even applauded.

Then in 1970, feminist Kate Millett published her book, Sexual Politics, that popularized the Marxist-inspired concept, “patriarchy.” Millett described patriarchy as a “most ingenious system of social control” that subordinates women through socialization, economic dependency, and normalized violence, she claimed.

'But while nice guys win hearts on the silver screen, a study suggests they may struggle in the unforgiving arena of real dating.

The findings, published in the Journal of Research in Personality, indicate that personality traits are linked to relationship success in markedly different ways for men and women.

The authors sent questionnaires to 3,800 adults in Australia, Denmark and Sweden to assess their personalities. They were asked whether they were in a relationship and, if so, how satisfied they were with it.

When it came to kindness, there was a divide between the sexes. Women who were more “agreeable” — meaning empathetic, co-operative and patient — were no more likely to be in a relationship than women in whom these qualities were less pronounced.

'Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called on Democrats and activists to “laugh” at “insecure” MAGA “men” – zeroing in on White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller as a “clown.”

Speaking during an hour-long Instagram Live session on Sunday, AOC mocked Miller, whom she admitted that she’d never met, as someone who looked like he was short and was angry because he was:
...
Continuing, the Democratic congresswoman doubled down, arguing Democrats should be “making fun” of what she said was a culture of “insecure masculinity” within MAGA:'

'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.'

'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.'

'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.'

'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.

'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”.'

'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.

'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.'

'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.'
