'In 2024, the number of marriages and divorces in Ukraine was nearly equal, BBC reports, citing statistics from the Ministry of Justice. According to official data, 150,000 marriages were registered, while the number of divorces reached 142,000.

Experts attribute these statistics to the consequences of the war and constant stress. However, in the first two years of the full-scale invasion, the situation was slightly better. In 2023, there were 186,000 marriages and 128,000 divorces, while in 2022, 223,000 marriages were registered, with only 91,000 divorces.
...
Psychologists note that the main reason for the increase in divorces is the impact of war-related stress. "People can't handle it. When we're under stress, we get nervous and lash out. At whom? At the nearest and dearest," said psychologist Tina Beradze.

'Something has been in the news this week that you probably don’t think much about — the draft.

Members of Congress are currently debating expanding the draft. The expansion would include automatically enrolling men and opening conscription up to women.

This isn’t a radical idea. A few countries already require compulsory military service for both men and women. Norway and Israel are two countries that come to mind.

Up until now, women here in the U.S. have been kept out of the draft. Naturally, social conservatives are vehemently opposed to drafting women. The Hill captures the current sentiment on Capitol Hill quite aptly:'

It seems every article on "Women and ..." is based on some feminist junk science "study" touting the same conclusions: women good, men bad. Who is left reading mags like Forbes these days anyway? Looks to me like feminists. Excerpt:

'Why are women 25% less likely to use artificial intelligence tools than men? New research debunks the notion that the gender gap is primarily due to women’s lack of AI skills, interest or access. Women’s hesitancy to use AI is instead a rational response to a competency penalty that women face when using AI in the workplace.

'Templeton’s estimation, while grim and certainly extreme, echoes the sentiments of the over 4,000 women, ages 35 and beyond, digitally ringing the alarm about the pitfalls of becoming financially, physically, emotionally and mentally dependent on a partner.

“Married at 20, divorced at 38. Raising 7 kids. No job history, no college, no experience,” a woman named Samantha commented beneath Valenti’s vid.

“[I was] married off at 17, divorced 10 years later. I’m now 37 and every day is a poverty-stricken struggle,” admitted one woman, describing herself as a high school dropout and single mom of three daughters.

“I grieve intensely for my 17-year-old self. I always thought I would be someone and it’s devastating,” she added.'

'"I knew instinctively what had happened; that she had done it and that he hadn't fought back," Ashe Smith, 80, says of her son James Self's vicious and ultimately fatal attack at the hands of his girlfriend, Polly Murphy. Self died on December 21, 2023, six weeks after the attack, and Murphy, a pink-haired artist, is now serving a life sentence for murder. But even Smith missed the danger signs – of control and physical aggression towards her son. If she had understood more about domestic violence towards men, she admits today, she might have intervened.

At the crime scene, a room at Smugglers Cove, a hotel in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, paramedics found Self's blood on the walls, bedding, door handle and floor. "She'd smashed his head so hard on the wall it had made a dent," says Smith, speaking today in the calm surroundings of her countryside home near Great Finborough in Suffolk. Self was punched, kicked and stamped on over the course of two hours – and at one point knocked unconscious.

'Two Colorado men are challenging a state law that they say illegally protects girls, but not boys, from medically unnecessary genital cutting. In a lawsuit filed last week in Denver District Court, they argue the distinction violates Colorado's Equal Rights Amendment.

“Every person, including every child, has a right to bodily integrity and autonomy, regardless of biological sex. These rights are violated when the law conditions the protection of bodily integrity and personal autonomy on an individual’s sex. The law of Colorado does just that,” the lawsuit reads.

The lawsuit centers on a section of Colorado's child abuse law that makes certain forms of medically unnecessary female genital cutting a crime.'

'Marching in pussy hats, baring their breasts to save the earth, fighting with ICE agents, declaring themselves “nasty,” feminist women today are self-evidently the least contented and most rancorous women in America, preoccupied with victimhood, consumed by the politics of despair, and experiencing higher rates of depression (and corresponding anti-depressant use) than non-feminist women.

It is logical to conclude that feminism causes female unhappiness by encouraging ingratitude, paranoia, and reckless rage.

Feminists themselves have at times noted the excessive, often wretched, results of their gospel of discontent: the suicides, depression, violence, hysteria, and disordered lives of many of their luminaries.'

'Two moms in Texas left their children, ages 6 and 4 — and a 2-month-old baby — alone in a locked bedroom while they were out partying at a hotel, leading to a horrific incident where the older kids tossed and stomped on the infant's head, cops say.

The mothers, Sidney Whitt, 21, and Jacqulun Morales, 29, allegedly placed the children in the care of Morales' 18-year-old sister, Shelby Munoz, and locked them in a bedroom before leaving to go drink alcohol and use drugs with a man at a local hotel, according to local ABC affiliate KLTV and local CBS affiliate KYTX.

A police press release obtained by the television stations says the children tossed the 2-month-old around and stomped on the baby's head until the child began having seizures and suffered a brain bleed. Extensive facial bruising was also reported by doctors after the infant was brought to a local hospital.'

'For decades, the fight for gender equality has squarely focused on lifting women up—in the workplace, politics, and beyond.

But according to Richard Reeves, president of the American Institute for Boys and Men, it’s the men who now need support.

From childhood, boys are falling behind in school. Men are trailing women in college completion by an even wider margin than existed (in the opposite direction) when Title IX became law in 1972. They also die by suicide about four times more often, with especially troubling increases among younger men over the past two decades.

In this episode, Reeves sits down with Shilo Brooks to discuss why the struggles facing boys and men have become politically impossible to discuss, why they need to stop hearing that “the future is female” and that their masculinity is “toxic,” and what the specific policies are that he believes will help them.'

'Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was the target of an anonymous report that police determined was false and that he says forced him to spend a night away from his four-year-old twins.

According to Buttigieg, a Michigan State Police officer and a child protective services worker came to his home in Traverse City after they received an anonymous report alleging he posed a danger to his children. Authorities arranged forensic interviews for his twins and instructed him not to be alone with them until the interviews were complete.

Buttigieg described the 24-hour ordeal in a Substack post as “among the darkest hours of my life.”
