Justifying Women's Violence "Kill all Men"

Article here. Excerpt:

'Apparently the recent Wisconsin female school shooter, Samantha Rupnow was known to spew hatred towards men and to believe that all men needed to be killed in order for women to be free to create a new world. I don’t think she offered an explanation of where the sperm might come from in order continue propagating this paradise, but maybe she just didn’t think that far ahead? The media is staying fairly quiet about this. Imagine the chaos that would ensue if a male mass shooter openly stated that he wanted to kill all women. You would never hear the end of it.

Sen. John Fetterman says fellow Democrats lost male voters to Trump by ‘insulting’ them, being ‘condescending’

Article here. Excerpt:

'Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman bluntly told his fellow Democrats they lost male voters to President-elect Donald Trump because they were “condescending” and “insulting.”

“It was clear [in 2016] that people were voting for Trump. And the Democrats’ response was, ‘Aren’t they smart enough to realize they’re voting against their interests?’ And that’s insulting, and that’s, I mean, that’s, that’s just not helpful,” the 55-year-old told the New York Times Thursday.

“It’s condescending. And if anything, that reinforces that kind of stereotype. Telling them that ‘I know better than you do,’ that’s not helpful.”'

More Men Are Addicted to the ‘Crack Cocaine’ of the Stock Market

Article here. If you see yourself in this article, please reach out to GA. Excerpt:

'A new type of addict is showing up at Gamblers Anonymous meetings across the country: investors hooked on the market’s riskiest trades.

At Gamblers Anonymous in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, one man called options “the crack cocaine” of the stock market. Another said he faced hundreds of thousands of dollars in trading losses after borrowing from a loan shark to double down on stocks. And one young man brought his mom and girlfriend to celebrate one year since his last bet.

They were among a group of about 60 people, almost all men, who sat in rows of metal folding chairs in a crowded church basement that evening. Some shared their struggle with addiction—not on sports apps or at Las Vegas casinos—but using brokerage apps like Robinhood.'

What South Korea’s ‘Queen of 4B’ Wants Americans to Know

Article here. Excerpt:

'Ji Yeon, who also goes by her American name Canti, is a 27-year-old YouTuber and a graduate student in media and gender studies based in Seoul. American women might know her as the “Queen of 4B,” referring to the South Korean movement aimed at creating a world without men. 4B — shorthand for four Korean words that all start with bi-, or “no”: bisekseu (no sex), biyeonae (no dating), bihon (no marriage), and bichulsan (no childbearing) with men — is both an ideological stance and a lifestyle, and its ideas went viral in the U.S. in the weeks following the reelection of Donald Trump. Ji Yeon has been practicing 4B since 2018, which has since given her, she says, a true sense of liberation. “I realized, ‘Oh, I can just be myself. I don’t have to conform to what society deems acceptable.’” Since April of this year, she has been corresponding with and hosting social-media ask-me-anythings about the movement with mostly American audiences. Last week, we had a long talk about 4B’s rise in America and the power of global feminist solidarity.'

What happens when climate denialism and misogyny intersect? Enter: ‘petro-masculinity’

Article here. Excerpt:

'Cara Daggett, an associate professor of political science at Virginia Tech University, coined the term “petro-masculinty” in a paper she published in 2018. She used the term to describe the rise of authoritarian movements in the Western hemisphere and how they were being shaped by climate change denialism and misogyny in an appeal to men who felt they were being left behind by society.
...
No longer just an energy source, fossil fuels have become wrapped up in the American identity, says Daggett. For conservative men in particular, that’s essential to a return to male-governed households and society, not only at the expense of women, Daggett says, but also the environment.'

DNC Candidate David Hogg Blasts Dems For Dismissing His ‘Concerns’ About Party’s Appeal To Young Men: ‘Shut Down By Consultants’

Article here. Excerpt:

'David Hogg plans to fire consultants who helped lead the Democratic Party down their “path of failure” if he wins his recently announced bid to become Democratic National Committee vice chairperson.

Hogg, a 24-year-old gun control advocate who survived the 2018 Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, joined MSNBC’s Chris Jansing on Tuesday after announcing his candidacy for a leadership position in the DNC. The activist revealed that part of his motivation was frustration with the Democratic Party, especially after he was shut down repeatedly during the 2024 presidential election for voicing concerns about the party’s outreach to young people, specifically men.'

Police ask for compassion for Wisconsin shooter

Article here. No one asks for compassion for male shooters who also kill themselves after murdering others, do they? Excerpt:

'A law enforcement official briefed on the situation told CNN the shooter was a 17-yearo-old female.

'We know that the suspect shooter was a teenage student who attended the school,' Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said.

However, police are not releasing the age or gender of the suspected shooter at this time.

'Again, as difficult as today is, that's still someone's child that's gone, that's still someone that has to deal with what happened today. And so we want to make sure that we can ensure as much cooperation as we can,' he said.'

150 Feminist Lies and Exaggerations

Article here. Excerpt:

'In nearly every crusade feminists have waged, there have been both lies and exaggerations. They have consistently stretched the truth and, in many cases, outright fabricated claims to push society toward a female supremacist agenda.

As I began compiling a list of the many lies told by feminism over the years, I quickly became overwhelmed. There were so many that it was frustrating to organize them all. Then I had an idea: "I wonder what AI would say about this?" Admittedly, I assumed AI would simply repeat the standard “women good“ party line, but I decided to ask anyway. My question was straightforward: "Can you give me a list of feminist lies or exaggerations? Include the lie as the first part, followed by the facts that refute it."

Scholarship programs slapped with lawsuits for alleged discrimination against White men

Article here. Excerpt:

'Two scholarship programs for "underrepresented" minorities are being slapped with lawsuits for allegedly discriminating against White people.

The nonprofit organization Do No Harm (DNH) is challenging the Society of Military Orthopaedic Surgeons' (SOMOS) E. Anthony Rankin Scholarship Program on behalf of a DNH member who said he could not continue with the application process because he is a White male.

The program, which is "meant for underrepresented medical students," matches students with a "U.S. Military host" at one of two medical centers, the complaint states. The program spans four weeks, during when students can receive up to $12,000 "to cover ‘travel, housing, and daily per diem for the duration’ of their time hosted by the military," the filing reads, quoting the program's website description.'

Crystal Mangum confesses to lying about being raped by Duke lacrosse players in 2006

Article here. Excerpt:

'Former stripper and current murder convict Crystal Mangum confessed to lying about being raped by Duke Lacrosse players in an interview on the independent media outlet "Let's Talk With Kat" on Thursday.

"I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn't and that was wrong, and I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people who believed in me," Mangum said. "[I] made up a story that wasn't true because I wanted validation from people and not from God."

Mangum, who is serving a prison sentence for murdering her boyfriend, falsely accused three Duke players of raping her while she was performing at a team party in March 2006. The players she accused were arrested, igniting a national controversy and conversations about racism. The allegations even resulted in the team having to cancel a game against Georgetown.'

Eyewitnesses Say Nancy Mace Called For Man's Arrest After He Shook Her Hand

Article here. Utter B.S. Excerpt:

'Eyewitnesses who watched the interaction between Representative Nancy Mace and James McIntyre are questioning the congresswoman's claims about being assaulted, describing instead a scene where McIntyre was just shaking her hand.

McIntyre, a 33-year-old from Chicago, was arrested by U.S. Capitol Police on Tuesday evening at an event for foster children and charged with assaulting a government official. Authorities said that the suspect was tracked down after Mace's office reported an incident in the Rayburn House Office Building.

"I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man. One new brace for my wrist and some ice for my arm and it'll heal just fine," Mace wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday. "The Capitol police arrested the guy. Your tr*ns violence and threats on my life will only make me double down."

But two eyewitness describe a different scene.'

#NotAllMen, Symptoms Of Male Defensiveness In The Feminist Era

Article here. Excerpt:

'A reader once told me he’s fed up with men being blamed for everything: “We do a lot of things wrong, we need to improve. But it’s unbearable to be singled out for everything and beaten down just for being men. It seems there’s no escape.”

This perception is a reality for many men who feel attacked and, more or less consciously, guilty. What do we do about it? Can we address the situation to achieve a positive reaction? Feeling cornered isn’t the best if we expect reflection and change, nor does it encourage active participation.

Saying “men never do anything at home” or “they are rapists” can be meant to provoke, intentionally or not, but the undesirable reaction is rejection from men and even from other women who feel uncomfortable when they look at the men in their lives (fathers, sons, brothers, friends, partners).
