'Around 30 women gathered in Belfast on Saturday to highlight concerns about a lack of support for male victims of domestic violence.

The march was made up of women wearing fluorescent pink and included relatives of men who have been the victims.

The twin daughters of west Belfast man Tony Browne, who was murdered by his girlfriend in 2022, were among those who attended.

Bobbi-Leigh and Shannon McIlwaine say there “isn’t enough support services for men” who are going through domestic abuse relationships.'

'White Ribbon Day offers a powerful opportunity for men and boys to be allies for women and girls. I myself take an active role in promoting gender equality and challenging behaviours and attitudes that perpetuate violence against women and girls, and today I am calling on the youth justice sector to do the same. It is so important to have positive male role models within these spaces and beyond.

White Ribbon Day also marks the start of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, which runs until Human Rights Day on 10 December.

Recent national and international events have highlighted the urgent need to address gender-based violence, alongside persistent misogyny in society, which have created a climate where women and girls often feel unsafe.'

'Readers have been left outraged after a controversial children's book called Our Skin blamed white men for introducing the idea that thin is beautiful.

The book, published in 2021, was penned by Harlem activist Megan Madison, Brooklynite library worker Jessica Ralli, and Pilipino Isabel Roxas, and has been previously distributed to NYC schools.

Aimed at children aged two to five, the 'inflammatory' book discusses skin tone and racism, claiming: 'A long time ago, way before you were born, a group of white people made up an idea called race'.

But the book also delves into beauty standards and stereotypes, where the authors also seem to point the finger of blame at 'white men'.

Sharing an image of the disturbing page on X/Twitter, one reader was left baffled by its content, warning viewers: 'Books like this exist. And people are reading them to children'.

'I’m not shaming mothers or women, it’s completely the opposite: I’m shaming men, especially American ones. In Serbia, men see it as their role both to provide for their kids but also to look after them. But in the United States, you wouldn’t see a man carrying a baby in a sling, that’s unmanly. American men play video games, look at pornography and have given up on the idea of striving to be better, some of them have even given up on working at all. Yet somehow they still expect to get the most beautiful women. They’re not going to school, starting businesses, hustling to be better men and mentors to others. It’s left to women to do the work – we buy the books, have the community and the friends. And then if we have children, we bear the physical, financial and emotional burden.'

'Antje Kapek, the transport policy speaker for the Green Party in Berlin, has called for the introduction of train carriages for exclusive use by female passengers. This follows a shocking upsurge in serious sex crimes on trains and buses, with Berlin alone experiencing the equivalent of more than one such assault every day. Frankfurt is heading in a similar direction.

Transport hubs across Germany are becoming less safe. Federal Police recorded 13,543 violent crimes at train stations in the first half of 2024. This has led to the suggestion that a model found in Japan, India, and Indonesia―and the ‘family carriages’ of the Doha Metro―be adopted in Berlin. It involves carriages set aside for female passengers only, whether all day or at peak times (such as 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Tokyo).'

'At Truckee High School, Katie Jamison Bensley, a teacher of Human Geography, World History, and United States History, has founded a club that aims to challenge traditional definitions of masculinity and provide a healthier, more inclusive space for young men. The “Yo, Bro!” Club is a response to societal pressures that often condition boys to express themselves through aggression and dominance, reinforcing toxic masculinity.
...
The “Yo, Bro!” Club is designed to offer a fresh perspective on masculinity by focusing on community service, academic achievement, and personal responsibility. Members are encouraged to challenge stereotypes and embrace a more empathetic, emotionally expressive version of manhood. The club’s mission is clear: redefine masculinity by encouraging boys to focus on their growth as individuals and contributors to their community, rather than conforming to outdated gender norms.'

'A California judge has permanently stripped Texas father Jeffrey Younger of all parental rights to his twin sons, James and Jude, granting Younger’s ex-wife, Anne Georgulas, the authority to chemically and surgically transition their 12-year-old son, James, against his father’s wishes.

Jeffrey Younger was forced to pay his ex-wife $5,000 a month to pay for his son’s “transition” and counseling in addition to a $10,000 retainer required by the counselor.

Younger alleges that the Texas family court system, particularly Judge Mary Brown—whom he dubbed “Judge Bloody Mary Brown”—ignored evidence and expert testimony in favor of his son’s well-being. Instead, the court granted his ex-wife full custody, allowing her to pursue the medical transition.'

'Today is International Men's Day (IMD). While most of us have heard of and may celebrate International Women's Day (IWD) on March 8 every year, many will not know that there's also the equivalent awareness day for men. The aim is to celebrate male cultural, political and socioeconomic achievements, while also shining a light on the issues that half of the population face.

IMD was created just over a decade ago, in order to give men an equivalent to the century-old IWD, but some are opposed to the idea of a day dedicated to celebrating men, arguing that it in some way waters down the female awareness day, which continues to shine a light on the very real problem of gender inequality. Others, however, fully respect the importance of IMD in addressing the issues facing men that need highlighting.'

'At the Conservative Party Conference this year, there was a “Case for a Minister for Men and Boys” panel event. On this panel was Dr Luke Evans, MP for Hinckley and Bosworth – a vocal advocate for positive body image whilst in Parliament. The topics discussed varied from “health, male body image and education, to suicide”.

This is not the first time that a Minister holding this portfolio has been proposed. Earlier in 2024, a petition was launched to appoint a Minister for Men and Boys to “address problems that either exclusively or disproportionately involve men”. The petition received 6,444 signatures and was ultimately closed. Former MP for Don Valley Nick Fletcher discussed the importance of having a Minister in September 2023. Various charities such as SurvivorsUK and Gender Parity UK have pressurised political parties into calling for a Minister in their manifestos.

'Women between the ages of 25 and 34 continue to be more likely than men in the same age group to have a bachelor’s degree. The gender gap in bachelor’s degree completion appears in every major racial or ethnic group, though the size of the gap varies widely.

n 1995, young men and women were equally likely to hold a bachelor’s degree (25% each). Since then, there has been a growing gap between men and women in college completion.

Today, 47% of U.S. women ages 25 to 34 have a bachelor’s degree, compared with 37% of men.

The share of young women with a bachelor’s degree has increased by 22 percentage points since 1995, from 25% to 47%. Over the same period, men have seen a smaller increase (12 points, from 25% to 37%).'

'The defeat of Kamala Harris has triggered an outpouring of feminist behaviors such as online meltdowns, scornful invectives (“misogynist”), and threats of bodily harm (1). Social media has seen a spike in online videos promoting the use of Aqua Tofana, a tasteless poison that women used in the 17th century to poison their husbands. One Aqua Tofana video registered 1.3 million Likes since November 5. (2)

Hours after the election results were announced, feminists launched a 4B Movement, which advocates for No marriage, No childbirth, No dating, and No sex by women (3). 4B originated in South Korea, which not surprisingly, now has the world’s lowest fertility rate, triggering fears of population collapse (4). The 4B Movement is a dystopian recipe for “loneliness, bitterness, and depression,” observes writer Conn Carroll (5).'

'A Northwestern University graduate program recently announced that 50 percent of its new students are women, leading to questions about whether the institution is prioritizing students’ gender over academic merit.

Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management also is the subject of a new Title IX complaint that claims several of its programs and scholarships discriminate against men.

This fall, the Kellogg School accepted 524 students into its two-year masters of business administration program, and 50 percent are women, according to a recent article on the school’s website.

The specific factors were not listed, but the article mentioned that students’ diverse experiences, academic excellence, and extracurricular activities played a part in their acceptance into the Evanston, Illinois university.

The post also listed a few of the demographic groups to which the graduate students belong, including “11% [who] identify as LGBTQ+” and “40% [who are] are international students.”

Nice video here which describes how much of male sexual behavior is potentially criminal while women have few restrictions on their sexual behavior. Very interesting.
Thanks for all you do.
