UK: Only a third of young women hold positive view of men, new poll finds

Article here. Excerpt:

'Just 35 per cent of British women under the age of 25 hold a positive view of men, according to a new poll.

The findings show only 11 per cent of young women hold a very positive view, while women under 30 are three times as likely to hold a negative view of men compared to the over-30s.

According to the poll carried out by Merlin Strategy for the New Statesman, young women “don’t care for” young men, believing the feelings are mutual, and citing an over-focus on sexual motivation and a lack of care about political issues, with women aged between 18 and 30 found to be the most progressive demographic in the UK by far.

How dating became an extreme sport for men

Article here. Excerpt:

'Tristan Cressingham didn’t expect his relationship of seven months to end in quite as spectacular a fashion as it did.

At the start of November 2025, the 23-year-old photographer received a message from his then girlfriend who, he says, detailed the reasons why she wanted to be single and the things about him which gave her what she called “the ick”.

He says it featured a wide-ranging critique about everything from the length of his shorts (too short, apparently) to his keenness to reply to messages.

“Basically, she said she thought I was a bit ‘cringe’,” Tristan says.

Around the same time, a Vogue feature by Chanté Joseph headlined “Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?” went viral. The piece, published in October 2025, didn’t decry the appearances of men, but questioned the entire concept of having a heterosexual relationship.

Meet the Angry Young Women

Article here. Excerpt:

'On the internet, women and men have never been more alienated from each other. While the toxic, often hard-right politics of the manosphere have been exhaustively documented, the new generation of female influencers are nearly as extreme – just on the other side of the political spectrum. The “femosphere” spans a range of tones: there are misandrist dating coaches who urge women to reject men altogether, and more explicitly progressive content creators who cover global and domestic politics.

Christopher Eccleston attacks woke TV bosses for 'turning white, middle-aged men into toxic villains'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Christopher Eccleston has hit out at 'woke' TV bosses for 'turning white, middle-aged men into toxic villains' in a scathing rant.

The actor, 62, is well known for his roles in Our Friends In The North, The Leftovers and playing the Ninth Doctor in Doctor Who.

Speaking in a new interview, Christopher claimed there was a 'trend' among antagonists in current scripted dramas.

It comes as he is set to play a sinister cult leader in upcoming six-part Netflix series Unchosen.

Christopher told Radio Times magazine: 'There's a great trend in drama at the moment for antagonists who are toxic, white, apparently heterosexual, late-middle-aged men.

'Thankfully, Julia gave him dimension and placed him in a story of tragedy involving the loss of his son and alcoholism.

Christopher also told the publication: 'Masculinity is in crisis, and it seems it’s particularly white, working-class boys who are being neglected, left to rot by governments and targeted by the far Right.'

UK: 'I'm not being listened to' - new health plan launched as women say they are still ignored

Article here. Excerpt:

'The updated version of the strategy comes against a backdrop of criticism that women's voices are often ignored and marginalised by the NHS.

Streeting said some women have been made to feel like "second class citizens" with their pain treated "as an inconvenience and their symptoms as an overreaction".

In his interview with Woman's Hour, the health secretary described a "culture of medical misogyny, sexism in the NHS, both conscious and unconscious bias", in a system which was "getting disproportionately worse for women".

Among the new measures announced by the government is a new "patient power payment" scheme.

The government says this will enable women to give feedback and report their experiences of treatment. Based on that, money will be allocated to areas needing improvement, and providers getting negative feedback could lose funding.'

No hook-ups and men must pay: inside the femosphere

Article here. Excerpt:

'Men are inherently selfish. They’re only interested in one thing. If you do manage to hook one into a relationship, don’t be surprised if you find yourself doing all the housework and tending to his emotions as well as his sexual desires — at least, until he decides to replace you with an even more compliant “bangmaid”.

I ought to make it clear that these are not my personal beliefs. But if you hang around long enough in the quarter of the internet known as the “femosphere”, these are the messages you are going to hear. You’ll also discover that there’s a solution: women need to harden their hearts and learn to manipulate men, the same way that men have purportedly been manipulating women for millennia.

Is Masculinity in Crisis? These TV Shows Suggest Yes

Article here. Excerpt:

'We men are trying. Truly! We’re trying to be there for our partners and our kids. Struggling to follow the rules as they were presented to us: work hard, fly straight, die on the beach with a daiquiri in hand. But we’re struggling. We’re confused and conflicted because the game we thought we were playing turns out to be just as rigged against us as it is against everyone else.

Television is now saturated with self-doubting, affluent white male characters dealing with a world that no longer gives priority to their needs. The problem, as a trio of newish shows suggests, is that the old scripts for proving one’s vaunted manliness no longer function the way they once did—if they ever did.'

People view coercive control in relationships as less harmful when the victim is a man

Article here. Excerpt:

'A recent study published in Sex Roles suggests that the general public often underestimates the dangers of controlling relationship behaviors when the victims are men. The research provides evidence that people tend to take emotional and psychological abuse more seriously when it is directed at women, leaving men and LGBTQ+ individuals at a higher risk of being overlooked. These findings indicate that societal stereotypes continue to shape how people perceive and respond to unhealthy relationship dynamics.

Coercive control is an ongoing pattern of behavior where one person tries to dominate, isolate, or intimidate their partner. This concept goes beyond a single argument, instead describing a sustained campaign to restrict a person’s freedom and independence. Most public awareness campaigns and previous scientific studies have focused heavily on women experiencing this type of abuse from men in heterosexual relationships.'

What’s Wrong with Feminist Rights?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Dating from 1949, The Second Sex is still revered as “a foundational tract of contemporary feminism”, “the mothership of feminist philosophy”, and ranked foremost among “must-read” feminist books. But contemporary readers may be astounded to learn that, 76 years ago, author Simone de Beauvoir was prepared to declare a feminist victory:

'Many women today, fortunate to have had all the privileges of the human being restored to them, can afford the luxury of impartiality: we even feel the necessity of it. We are no longer like our militant predecessors; we have more or less won the game; in the latest discussions on women’s status, the UN has not ceased to imperiously demand equality of the sexes, and indeed many of us have never felt our femaleness to be a difficulty or an obstacle...'

Yet by 2002, 31% of women weren’t “satisfied with the treatment of women in society” according to a Gallup survey.

Today, most women (56%) aren’t satisfied.'

Automatic registration for US military draft to begin in December

Article here. Excerpt:

'Eligible men will automatically be registered into the military draft pool by December as part of an effort to streamline the previous process of self-registration and save money.

The Selective Service System (SSS) — the government agency that maintains a database of men to be called up to serve in the case of a national emergency — submitted a proposed rule to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on March 30, according to the office’s website.

Most men between the ages of 18 and 25 are already required to register with the Selective Service, but automatic registration was mandated in December 2025 as part of the fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act.

The change, which was meant to save money, “transfers responsibility for registration from individual men to SSS through integration with federal data sources,” according to the website.'

A humourous look at the birth rate and gender relations

The Dark Path to Increasing the Birth Rate

Full article by Med Gold here.

Bad news, men. The situation is dire. Time to face the hard truth.

It’s critical for men to know they can still get other women if his woman leaves him or he leaves her. And he only has this knowledge if he’s had experience with women in the past and knows what parts of himself he needs to cultivate to remain sexually relevant.

This isn’t only for his sake, but for the sake of the relationship. His wife will respect him more and will be more likely to treat him well because she’ll know, even if subconsciously, that he has options. Women‘s biggest fear is her man leaving her for a prettier, more fertile woman.
