'Men are largely missing out on one of the hottest professions in the U.S. right now: nursing.

For registered nurses alone, the Labor Department projects there will be 189,000 job openings each year for the next decade. But only 1 in 8 nurses are men.

There have long been efforts to rewrite the script around nursing — to push back on the idea that it's women's work. Now, the economy is helping, too.

With diminishing opportunities in male-dominated industries like manufacturing and software engineering, nursing has emerged as a stable alternative and a solid pathway to a middle-class life.

Nursing students at the University of Alabama at Birmingham are already experiencing what it's like to be in demand.'

'Recently a committee of the Canadian Parliament spent five months studying the beliefs of its own citizens and concluded that dissent from feminism is a growing extremist threat.

I want to make a harder claim than "the report is biased." I want to argue the causal arrow runs backwards. The pushback the state calls radicalization is a reaction against a radicalization that already happened.

First Principles: why a system calls independence toxic, conformity safety, and dissent harm.

Beneath the Surface: the report in its own words, the psychology of why the state recruits the feminine instinct and the compliant man, the data on who is actually being radicalized, and why strength itself had to be renamed a pathogen.

From the Archives: Jung and Arendt, who watched an atomized, care-hungry population become the raw material of the mass movement a century ago.'

'Discrimination hotlines in both the Netherlands and Belgium have concluded that Dutch singer Sophie Straat did not discriminate when she asked “all white men to step back” during two of her recent performances.

Last month at the Best Kept Secret festival in Beekse Bergen, Straat — real name Sophie Schwartz — asked for space for women, queer people and people of colour in the “mosh pit”, an area in front of the stage where fans dance chaotically.

She made the same request on Monday during a performance in Ghent, Belgium.

The Dutch discrimination hotline Discriminatie.nl said it received hundreds of complaints but maintains that Straat’s comments do not amount to discrimination against white men based on their colour or gender.'

'For more than half a century, Iceland has pursued one of the democratic world’s most ambitious social experiments.

Its stated objective was clear: dismantle male dominance. By every conventional measure, it succeeded. Iceland is famous for being the world’s “most equal country,” proudly topping international rankings for sex equality. Women occupy the presidency, the prime minister’s office, cabinet ministries, Iceland’s national state church, universities, schools, municipalities, police, social services, newsrooms and much of the country’s ever expanding public bureaucracy.

International delegations arrive eager to discover the secret of Iceland’s success. Politicians from abroad praise the “Icelandic model.” International organizations celebrate it. Iceland has become the country that much of the Western world is encouraged to emulate.

And yet, nobody asks the question that every successful social experiment eventually deserves.

'A male teacher in China has been accused of groping a woman while performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on her in public

The incident on a busy street in Hengyang, central Hunan province, has sparked a heated social media debate, according to Jiupai News.

The woman collapsed unexpectedly on 12 July. A female doctor from a nearby hospital began chest compressions but, after becoming exhausted, asked if anyone could assist.

The teacher, identified only by his surname Pan, stepped in to continue the life-saving procedure.

She was then rushed to hospital after an ambulance arrived.

However, after a video of the rescue went viral online, some social media users claimed Pan's hand placement during the CPR was inappropriate.

These allegations have deeply distressed the teacher.'

'A growing anti-marriage movement is being fueled by viral TikTok trends and high-profile celebrities painting men as the enemy, but according to a new column, women may ultimately be the ones losing out.

In a USA Today op-ed, columnist Ingrid Jacques warned of a rising wave of “heteropessimism,” defining it as women’s growing feelings of disappointment and antagonism toward relationships with men. She argued that viral trends like “divorce glow-ups” and anti-male literature have actively widened the divide between the sexes.
...
She explained that the media modern women consume is increasingly hostile toward traditional relationships, pointing to bestselling books like “Yesteryear,” which centers on a “tradwife” influencer.

Why do feminist leftists try to use accusations of homosexuality against male politicians when it suits their aims but then OTOH insist there's "nothing wrong with people being gay" in other contexts? You would think the double-standard would be glaring even to leftists, but they stay quiet. And, why associate wanting to see fit men in our armed forces with homosexuality? Excerpt:

'Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT) thinks there’s something queer about Secretary Pete Hegseth’s fixation on masculinity.

The congresswoman weighed in on the U.S. military’s plans to test male service members’ testosterone levels, telling journalist Scott MacFarlane there’s something odd about being so obsessed with manliness while villainizing the LGBTQ community at the same time.

'Across the western world, the patterns and themes are consistent and clear – boys and girls, men and women, are perceiving and experiencing underlying economic and social changes in vastly different manners.

The left has a problem with boys and men. Too many are drawn to far-right parties. Men’s influencers espouse a form of get-rich-quick isolationism that is anathema to the communitarian values of the Labour Party and the trade union movement that built it.

Many boys and men feel that progressive politics is for other people – and not them. Labour has a problem and we haven’t done enough to solve it. A brief perusal of data exemplifies the point. Almost half of the British public now think that women’s equality has gone ‘far enough’. One poll from the Centre for Social Justice also shows that 40 per cent of us feel society does not value traditional masculine values.'

'It did not happen all at once. Each phase built upon the last until an entire generation inherited a version of history in which men were remembered less for what they built than for whom they supposedly oppressed.

American culture did not wake up one morning and decide that men should be remembered mostly as oppressors, predators, colonizers, abusers, and patriarchs. The rewriting happened gradually. It began as a correction, became a framework, hardened into institutional policy, and eventually spread through media, movies, schools, law, and the internet.

Result: A lot more money is being sent over to the women's team vs. the other way around. Classic example of men supporting women now by group. The individual principle is being applied to sports now, despite women's sports drawing a fraction of what men's sports draw in terms of crowds and money. Excerpt:

'Adding insult to injury after an embarrassing exit from the World Cup this week, the United States Men’s National Team will be forced to share half of the earnings from their run with their counterparts on the Women’s National Team.

The men’s team secured $16 million in prize money from FIFA after their run to the World Cup’s round of 16. Despite not playing a single minute of soccer, members of the women’s team will take home just as much money as the men’s team thanks to an “equal pay” agreement put in place by U.S. Soccer back in 2022.

'A New Jersey woman accused of filming vile sexual assaults against a child was caught after police linked her to a bizarre leg tattoo depicting 'boobs,' according to cops.

Victoria Anne Cranmer, 25, of Little Egg Harbor, allegedly recorded a 14-second Snapchat video of herself sexually abusing a young girl under the age of 13 who had been entrusted to her care, according to Jersey Shore Online.

Her alleged crimes came to light after she returned a cellphone containing the footage to a former roommate who contacted authorities, police said.

Investigators later found several more videos involving Cranmer and the victim hidden in her Snapchat Memories folder.

Court documents said Cranmer could be heard laughing and making comments toward the victim during the encounter.'

'A black feminist historian whose work is being labeled as misleading — and who may have lost her cushy academic job — says it all comes down to an attack on black women.

The New York Times tells the tale of Kerri Greenidge, whose 2022 book “The Grimkes” was hailed for its narrative about a slaveholding family and its work in the abolitionist movement.

Publishers Weekly put the book on its list of that year’s top books, while the American Historical Association handed Greenidge the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize, which honors scholars in women’s history and feminist theory.'
