'The gender stereotype that says “boys don’t cry” is being perpetuated implicitly by mothers more than fathers, a new University of Guelph study has revealed.

Prof. Kristel Thomassin found mothers may be more gender-biased than fathers when it comes to encouraging or discouraging their child’s expression of sadness and anger.

However, mothers likely aren’t even aware they have these gender biases.

“We found that on an implicit level, moms tend to show a bias, and this bias considers girls expressing these emotions to be more favourable than boys expressing the same emotions,” said the psychology professor and lead author of the study.

The Globe and Mail covered the research, and articles also appeared on CTVNews.ca and CBC KW.

Thomassin thought mothers and fathers would be more accepting of daughters showing sadness than sons and more accepting of sons showing anger than daughters.'

'In October, 2025, CNN ran a commentary by communication professor Kara Alaimo claiming that boys exposed to “digital masculinity” online have lower self-esteem, are lonelier, and that such content fuels offline violence against women. The problem? None of that is what the data actually show.

Alaimo based her argument on a Common Sense Media survey titled “Boys in the Digital Wild: Online Culture, Identity, and Well-Being.” After reading both the CNN piece and the full 88-page report, the contrast couldn’t be sharper. What she presented as a story of crisis looks, in the actual data, like a story of ordinary adolescent life — with a few predictable patterns and a lot of healthy boys.

What the Survey Really Found

The 2025 report surveyed 1,017 boys ages 11–17 across the U.S., asking about their online habits, exposure to “masculinity-related” content (posts about fighting, fitness, dating, or making money), and indicators of well-being such as self-esteem and loneliness.'

'Ilia Topuria is stepping away from fighting in the UFC as he grapples with some serious problems.

The lightweight champion issued a statement on Monday, claiming he’s facing an extortion plot centered around “false allegations of domestic abuse.”

“Over the past several weeks, I have made the difficult decision to temporarily step away from defending my title,” the 28-year-old said in a statement posted to social media. “This was not a decision I took lightly. However, when circumstances arise that threaten your personal integrity, your family, and your reputation, there comes a point when you must address them directly.'

'Casting men as abusers is essential to reconstructing society in the image of express social justice. If men as a class are natural abusers and women as a class are naturally abused, then a justice system based on individual rights makes no sense; differing systems of justice must address the different classes that are based on identity. Traditional marriage and family become sources of cruelty and danger. Every man should be approached with suspicion by every woman.

This vicious and divisive approach to social relations has been propped up by data and studies, most of which issue from ideologically biased academia or institutes. The statistics must be reopened with fresh eyes. Better yet, they should be replaced by honest research.'

'A teacher in Alabama was arrested and fired after a disturbing video went viral that showed her allegedly hitting her son more than 20 times with a belt.

Nicole Staples, 44, was released from Metro Jail on Wednesday evening after posting a $7,500 bond.

Staples was arrested earlier that afternoon and charged with willful abuse of a child under 18 after the video circulated on social media.

Her older son, Jackson Staples, who no longer lives at home, said he received the video on Tuesday and was alarmed.'

'Men who correct women over any disagreement could be hauled before disciplinarians under plans being weighed up by the Green Party.

Leaders are considering broadening the party's definition of misogyny to the point that 'any disagreement' could lead to men facing sanction.

The proposals are set out in a leaked 53-page dossier on legal and reputational risk prepared by its own lawyers.

It says the Green Party Council was 'very close' to adopting a document titled Guidance on Identifying Misogyny and Sexism as part of its ethics framework.

According to the report, seen by the Telegraph, the draft guidance listed 'being corrected' as an example of misogynistic behaviour experienced by women, a definition the lawyers warned was so expansive it could 'justify any disagreement between a man and a woman as a sanctionable disciplinary offence'.'

'The effects on women's health, unsurprisingly, can be consequential and not always immediately visible. A large study analysing over 7,800 brain scans across 29 countries found that societal gender imbalances physically change women's brains. The research showed that women living in countries with higher gender inequality had thinner cortical thickness in brain regions associated with emotional control, resilience and stress-related disorders such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.'

'"Uber’s assumption that male drivers—like plaintiffs who have garnered stellar ratings and extensive ride histories—cannot provide female passengers adequate ‘peace of mind’ and ‘comfort’ is rooted in stereotypical notions that the Unruh Act is designed to root out of society,” the attorneys argue in the Uber complaint. Uber and Lyft have not yet responded to requests for comments on the lawsuit.

This inventory purports to measure the conformity or lack of conformity to what it considers the masculine norms for this culture.'

'All boys will be taught how to respect women and girls as part of the school curriculum under government plans to “deploy the full power of the state” to crack down on male violence and misogyny.

Teachers will give lessons on how children should challenge misogynistic comments and behaviour and to promote “healthy relationships”, The Times has been told.

Official government advice will also help teachers and parents to spot signs that children are being radicalised by online misogynists such as Andrew Tate and how they can intervene early.

A Home Office source insisted that ministers had taken time to make the final strategy “as ambitious and bold as possible — to fight the tide of violence, stop abuse and protect victims.”

They added: “Put together, the strategy will deploy the full power of the state to introduce the largest crackdown to stop violence perpetrated against women and girls in British history.”

'8,000 years ago, 17 women reproduced for every 1 man. 90% of male bloodlines vanished—not through war, plague, or disaster, but through female choice and economics. This is the story of the Neolithic Bottleneck.

Discover how the agricultural revolution created the most extreme genetic selection event in human history, why Y-chromosome diversity collapsed while female lineages stayed intact, and how this ancient pattern still shapes modern dating, wealth inequality, and reproductive dynamics today.'

'If someone punches you in the face and you shout, “I hate you,” that’s not the same as the punch. Your anger is a reaction to harm. Their violence is the harm.

Misogyny is the punch. Misandry is the bruise that heals into self-protection.

When men hate women, it manifests as control — laws, violence, pay gaps, harassment, domination. When women say they hate men, it manifests as fear, exhaustion, and a refusal to play nice anymore.

One maintains power. The other resists it.'
...
When women express misandry, men clutch their pearls as though civilisation itself is under attack. They seem genuinely frightened — but not of violence. Of irrelevance.

Because when a woman says, “I hate men,” what she usually means is, “I hate what men have done to me, to my friends, to my mother, to the world.” It’s not a random act of bigotry. It’s cumulative trauma turned into language. It’s shorthand for centuries of fear and exhaustion.

When a man hates women, women die. When a woman hates men, she stops returning texts.

'When people tell young men that they are inherently bad, or that masculinity is a problem, we are sending a message that they are evil by nature. It will only cause that person to either internalize hatred, give up on trying to improve, resent the people telling them they're inherently flawed, or lead them to seek out people or content that celebrates them instead. It also empowers men who are actually evil, because telling them they are naturally this way gives them an excuse to lean into misogynistic behavior without accountability.'

'As the people of Swindon enjoy a night out this festive season, a drone will often be keeping a watchful eye on proceedings.

Wiltshire Police is using the technology as part of Project Vigilant, an operation which focuses on tackling violence against women.

The drone will be flown over key areas, such as Swindon's Old Town, to look out for suspicious behaviour.

Det Insp Troy Smith said: "It's pretty much the same as a helicopter, but a lot smaller. We want to make our streets a hostile environment for sexual predators. Women have the right to enjoy their nights out untroubled by these individuals."'

'Changing attitudes among boys and young men will be at the centre of the government's strategy to tackle violence against women and girls, the BBC has been told.

Next Thursday, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will unveil the long-delayed plan about how to combat what ministers call a "national emergency".

It comes after the publication of the strategy has been delayed three times over the last year.

The Labour government has pledged to halve the rate of violence against women and girls over the next decade - but critics have questioned its commitment to combating the problem.

There are also likely to be concerns as to why the strategy is being published on the day Parliament breaks up for its Christmas holiday.

BBC News has been told the violence against women and girls (VAWG) strategy will be built around three goals: preventing radicalisation of young men, stopping abusers, and supporting victims.
