'For six years, I have advocated for greater attention and resources to be directed towards the struggles of boys and men. I am encouraged by French Gates' new investment in this area. While the support for girls and women remains substantial, this step toward addressing the unique needs of boys and men is significant progress.
Reeves is the perfect choice to lead this effort. His unwavering dedication to raising awareness about the challenges faced by boys and men has been both inspiring and transformative. He has succeeded in changing the narrative and approach to addressing these critical issues on a global scale.

'The law gives the justice system stronger tools to intervene earlier to sexual violence, gender-based, and intimate partner violence before that violence turns fatal. More specifically, the changes:
- make femicide first degree murder, the most serious homicide offence
- create a new offence of coercive control in intimate relationships, targeting patterns of threats, isolation, or manipulation before violence escalates
- update criminal harassment provisions to make them easier to prove in court
- make it a crime to threaten to distribute non-consensual intimate images, including sexual deepfakes
- increase the maximum penalty for sexual assault on summary conviction, non-consensual distribution of intimate images, and voyeurism'

'The manosphere may be online, but its influence is showing up in real life.
A new study has identified what researchers call the “M factor,” a syndrome categorized by a cluster of attitudes linked to misogyny, male supremacy, violence and opposition to gender equality.
“The M factor reflects an attitude that sees ‘true masculinity’ as under threat. It is associated with notions of male supremacy, a propensity for violence, misogyny, contempt for sexual minorities and opposition to gender equality,” said study leader Denis Ribeaud, a criminologist and sociologist at the Jacobs Center for Productive Youth Development at UZH, according to Phys.org.'

Article here. Utter bullshit. Both parties THINK they can appeal to men through old-school machismo. They'd rather do that than take up actual men's issues. Excerpt:
'The MAGA movement has fully embraced masculinism, which The Atlantic’s staff writer Helen Lewis defines in her cover story this month as “a movement to fight back against the advances of feminism and reassert the primacy of men.” Democrats have a more complicated relationship with machismo. After the last presidential election, when Donald Trump made inroads with even young men of color, some Democrats began wondering whether their party did indeed have a man problem. This campaign season, one Democratic candidate who seems to be addressing that concern is Graham Platner, an oyster-farming combat veteran.

Prominent feminists have mostly been silent after the release of a report which documents "The biggest scandal in Modern British history." Search high and low, and you will find almost no feminists decrying British grooming gangs.
A survivor-led, independent parliamentary inquiry into crimes committed by British grooming gangs was conducted by Rupert Lowe (Independent MP for Great Yarmouth), focusing specifically on collecting victim testimonies. The inquiry has issued a shocking 219-page report.
Patrick Christys reacts to the "Rape Gang Inquiry Report" in a video essay, available here. Says Christys: "It lays bare the astonishing scale of the rape, abuse, and torture of potentially hundreds of thousands of young white girls."
We could report on shocked reactions to this report from prominent feminists, but so far we have not found any.

Article here. Most people think of men of lower station when imagining those who deal in guns, drugs, etc. I simply want to point out that drug-dealing and gun-toting is an equal opportunity activity. Excerpt:
'Deputies searching a home in the 9000 block of Hyatt Resort Drive on Thursday afternoon seized thousands of grams of marijuana, THC products, two firearms, and nearly half a million dollars in cash, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office said it executed a search warrant for narcotics at about 4:20 p.m. on June 11, 2026, after deputies received a tip alleging possible narcotics usage at the residence. The tip led to a search warrant being generated and approved, the agency said.
During the execution of the warrant, deputies detained a woman at the front door who was later identified as Danielle Gill, the sheriff’s office said. Gill was arrested for possession of a controlled substance PG 2 or 2-A ≥4g 5 lbs ≤50 lbs.'

Article here. Excerpt:
'In the modern West, compassion has quietly become a form of currency.
Institutions, universities, NGOs, the media, and even governments, now operate within what might be called a moral economy of victimhood.
In this new economy, empathy and funding flow toward those who can most convincingly demonstrate oppression.
The logic is simple: the more you suffer, the more moral authority you hold. The more powerless you can portray your group to be, the more influence you gain in return.
You can see this dynamic play out in grant proposals, corporate campaigns, and media coverage. Funding often depends not on measurable solutions but on the ability to frame problems in moral language, highlighting disparity rather than achievement, grievance rather than growth.
The result? Victimhood becomes not just a feeling, but a strategy.'

Video here.
'This video goes over the major issues faced by men in the US today. It was created 10 years ago and originally was in 4:3 format and fairly low resolution. I have now brought it up to 16:9 and increased the resolution as much as possible while still keeping the original footage and audio. I have also added an Epilogue on the end that takes a brief look at the carnage left since the original video was created.'

Article here. Excerpt:
'More than three in four young men say they repeatedly experience discrimination multiple times each year in modern Ireland, a report from the ESRI has found.
Published on Thursday, the study found that 76% of those aged 17 report regular discrimination, with men within this age bracket being more likely to describe themselves as being subject to unfair treatment than women of the same age.
Such negative treatment, according to the study, took the form of people acting fearful of them, people attempting to harass or intimidate them, and receiving less favourable treatment at restaurants compared to those around them.
“Males report higher perceived discrimination than females at 17, which is driven by higher rates of males responding
that they have experienced ‘people acting as if they are afraid of you’ and being threatened or harassed,” the report reads.
“This is likely to reflect the prevalence of stereotypes around young men as being aggressive or engaging in anti-social behaviour.”'

'The number of American men in the workforce are at its lowest level in two decades — with about one in three American men having stopped working as of 2026, new labor statistics show.
Just 66% of men were employed or actively seeking a job as of April, a nearly 20-year low from 73% in 2006, according to data the US Bureau of Labor Statistics released earlier this month.
The current number — covering men aged 20 and over — is almost exactly as low as it was after the 2008 recession, when rates first plummeted by seven points in about a year.'

'Helen Smith, a licensed psychologist with over 20 years in the field with an emphasis in clinical and forensic psychology, has published a new book: “His Side: Men Speak Out on Dating, Marriage, and Life in America.”
Released in February, it offers a follow-up to her book that came out in 2013, ” Men on Strike.”
No longer is it a “man’s world,” and Smith weaves together dozens of interviews of men from all ages and walks — their thoughts, struggles, concerns and experiences — to paint a picture of what it’s like for them in today’s landscape that casts men as misogynists and portrays masculinity as toxic and something to be shunned.'

'“If Trump really wants to get more Americans working,” she wrote at the time, “he’ll have to do something out of his comfort zone: make girly jobs appeal to manly men.”
It’s a message she believes is even more relevant today.
For decades, the focus has been on getting more women into male-dominated fields. Some efforts have been more successful than others. But now, with the vast majority of new jobs going to women, it’s clear that men need help, too.'

'Misty Roberts, a former mayor in Louisiana, has been sentenced to 90 days for raping a 16-year-old boy.
On Tuesday, 44-year-old Roberts was sentenced following her conviction earlier this year of two felonies including carnal knowledge of a juvenile – or statutory rape – and indecent behavior with a juvenile.
Roberts, who was facing up to 17 years in prison, sexually assaulted the underage victim at her home in July 2024. They were drinking alcohol at a pool party. Roberts was mayor of DeRidder, Louisiana, at the time, a position she had held since 2018.'

'From my experience I've learned that men tend to weigh the pros and cons of giving feedback, especially when it could lead to conflict. This is a key reason men often choose not to confront feminism or even challenge their wives. If a man doesn’t see a positive outcome that outweighs the potential negative consequences, he's more likely to remain silent. This is just one factor behind men's reluctance to push back.

'And, wow, you were so much more wrong than he was. His silent treatment is juvenile, yes. But it pains me to think of someone who doesn’t normally show vulnerability getting a ridicule beat-down for the one time he does. Maybe the scene wasn’t all that moving to you, but who knows what he has buried inside him that this scene dredged up?
And you say it was “to his credit” that it was a sports scene?! Wow.
Tell him you were totally out of line and have some anti-male biases you need to root out. He can’t have feelings?'
