'While Tate’s crude words are troubling, his sentiment reflects a common theme among respondents: many men view modern women as self-focused or materialistic. More concerning is their fear of financial devastation in divorce, a legitimate worry given family court biases. Men see friends and family members devastated by marital breakdowns. Why would they take that risk? “The juice ain’t worth the squeeze” one follower said.
As influential figures like Tate amplify these fears, the perception of marriage as a viable goal diminishes, leading to a decline in dating and relationships. So, is it Andrew Tate’s fault? Not exactly. He’s highlighting serious issues we must tackle. We must approach men’s concerns with empathy and advocate for systemic reforms—particularly in family courts—while emphasizing the benefits of committed marriages. Only then can we begin to restore the value of connection in a fractured world.'

Article here. Definitely has some bullspit tropes in it but the overall message is good: most men do need time with their fellow men. Digital world isolation is a real thing. Excerpt:
'Since 1990, there has been a sharp decline in how many people men say they are close to, says Ferrara, who is a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford and a visiting fellow at the London School of Economics. In the US, two-thirds of men aged between 18 and 23 think that nobody really knows them; one third haven’t seen anyone outside their household in the past week; only a fifth say they have friends they can really count on; and a staggering 69% of young men think “no one cares if men are OK”.

Article here. Excerpt:
'My takeaway is that in modern America there is a broad moderate pro female sentiment in terms of societal opinions, and this carries over to slight pro female bias in various things like politics, employment, medical research and education. Women also are not a meek powerless group, with them making up the majority of voters, HR employees and increasing proportions of important media positions. The best case for female disadvantage in modern is the higher levels of sexual aggression that they face from men, but these statistics are not as lopsided in terms of gender as some people think. Even if you think I am completely wrong and biased (and i’m sure in an article that tries to cover so much I made some mistakes), I hope you learned something and got a different perspective.'

'June 2025 in a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled in Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services that individuals from majority groups—including men—are entitled to the same anti-discrimination protections under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act as any other group.
For decades plaintiffs were required to show “background circumstances” proving their employer was unusually inclined to discriminate against the majority—a hurdle not faced by minority-group plaintiffs, thereby making it harder for men to bring forward legitimate claims of sex-based [discrimination].
The plaintiff in Ames was a heterosexual woman who alleged discrimination after being passed over for promotion in favor of LGBTQ+ colleagues. Her case was dismissed under the old rule requiring “background circumstances.” The Supreme Court reversed that dismissal.'

'Marin’s words capture an unspoken cultural law: a man’s value is measured by his independence and ability to provide—not by his humanity. This isn’t just a philosophical problem; it’s a practical one that plays out every day in men’s lives.
When women are in need, the language society uses is sympathetic—“vulnerable,” “at risk,” “deserving.” For men, the same situation draws terms like “lazy,” “weak,” or “failure.” That double standard is so ingrained that when a man reaches a point of real need—whether after a job loss, a divorce, a health crisis, or a mental breakdown—he is often met with judgment before compassion.'

'Sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson addressed her recent domestic violence arrest in a video on social media and issued an apology to her boyfriend Christian Coleman.
Richardson posted a video on her Instagram account Monday night in which she said she put herself in a “compromised situation.” She issued a written apology to Coleman on Tuesday morning.
“I love him & to him I can’t apologize enough,” the reigning 100-meter world champion wrote in all capital letters on Instagram, adding that her apology “should be just as loud” as her “actions.”'

'SAS commanders have revealed that they will need to recruit super fit female troops if the black-clad force is to fight in future wars.
The women will be recruited through Project Artemis, a programme aimed at bringing women into not only the SAS but also the SBS. Under the project female candidates, with at least two years’ service, get nine months’ mentoring to get them in shape to face selection.
It is hoped mental, physical and skill-based training under Project Artemis will help prepare the SAS selection course known to produce one of the world's most famous fighting forces.
Only one in ten male applicants pass the test. Combat roles were opened to women only in 2018.'

'American Eagle recently launched its “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans” ad campaign that features the popular actress dressed in denim. Unexpectedly, the ads triggered a full-scale meltdown among progressive women. They exploded with irrational claims that the ad relies on “Nazi propaganda” to foster notions of “genetic superiority” and “white supremacy” (1).
Such bizarre statements can be viewed as a form of delusional psychosis.
Indeed, progressive women have long been seen as foot soldiers for radical movements. “It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy,” George Orwell revealed decades ago in his classic tome, 1984.'

Article here. Excerpt:
'There are lots of reasons why people work extra hours. In some jobs, it’s the only way to cover the workload. In others, the pay is poor, so people need to work extra time. And in others still, working back late or on weekends is encouraged and rewarded, explicitly and implicitly.
Those employees who do the extra hours, willingly and without complaint, are seen as hungry and ambitious. A view expressed in some workplaces is simply “that’s what everyone does”.
But what if we discovered that people – at least in heterosexual couple households – can only work long hours at their partner’s expense? Would it still be OK for workplaces to expect people to work longer than our standard full time week, and incentivise them for doing so?'

'An Illinois substitute teacher pleaded guilty to having sex with her 11-year-old student during what was described as "play dates" at her home, reports said.
Former Decatur Public Schools employee Alley Bardfield, 34, is now set to be sentenced in September after admitting to predatory criminal sexual assault, according to WCIA.
The station, citing a lawsuit filed by the victim’s parents, said the student visited Bardfield’s home in Mt. Zion for multiple "play dates" in 2023 and 2024.
"The victim’s mother reported noticing her son acting differently after a visit to Bardfield’s house. As a result, she checked her son’s phone and social media. In a follow up discussion with her son, he disclosed having had a sexual encounter with Bardfield while a guest at her Mt. Zion residence on March 29, 2024," Mt. Zion police said in a statement last year.'

'There's a powerful force at play that binds both men and women to the belief that feminism stands for equality. Despite clear evidence to the contrary, public perception remains steadfast. This strong adhesive, I believe, is gynocentrism—an often unnoticed bias that influences both genders to avoid confronting the truth.
But what exactly is gynocentrism? It's the pervasive belief that women's needs, desires, and perspectives should take precedence. This societal tendency elevates women's experiences to a central position in discussions of justice, equality, and societal norms. Remarkably, many are unaware of this bias within themselves; it operates subtly yet significantly in everyday life.
