'A Canadian university is advertising five research positions, but applicants must be a part of the LGBTQ+ community to apply.

Memorial University of Newfoundland posted five new Canada Research Chair (CRC) positions that are open to current employees of the liberal arts school, but there's a catch.

In order to be eligible to apply, the applicant has to be a member of an equity group, including the 2SLGBTQIA+ people, a woman, Indigenous, a racialized person, or a disabled, according to the job postings viewed by the Daily Mail.

The five-to-seven-year gig, which pays up to $200,000 CAD ($145,000 USD) annually, currently has positions open for a chair in computational biochemistry, a chair in AI-driven navigation for Arctic and harsh environments, and a chair in musculoskeletal health and genomic map of the Newfoundland, among others.

Previously, CRC roles, posted in 2022, did not carry the same requirements.

'A wealthy IT consultant accused of causing his wife to take her own life through a 'tsunami of abuse' has been acquitted after he argued she had been a fantasist who had set him up.

Christopher Trybus, 44, sobbed in the dock as he was cleared of the manslaughter of Tarryn Baird, 34, who was found hanged in the garage of the couple's five-bedroom house.

He has always vehemently denied that he was in any way responsible for her death.

Trybus was also cleared of controlling and coercive behaviour and two charges of rape following more than 40 hours of jury deliberation at Winchester Crown Court.

Tarryn killed herself on November 28, 2017, hours after she made a series of calls to mental health services and a day after she had attended her local police station - leading to almost a decade in which Trybus has been under investigation or on trial.'

'Last Christmas, one of our major suicide prevention groups had a call from a very distressed, suicidal man. The counsellor did his best to support him and arranged to keep in touch. But there was no answer to the counsellor’s follow up calls. Following their organisation’s duty of care rules, the counsellor made a call to NSW police, fearing the man was at imminent risk of harm.

The police reaction was shocking. “Is there a female partner who could be at risk? Is he likely to hurt her,” asked the police officer, whose immediate concern was not checking on the man in crisis but rather assessing the risk that the suicidal man could be violent.

Welcome to the latest triumph of feminist policy innovation:

A system that looks at the man standing on the edge of the abyss — the group dying by suicide at three times the rate of women — and decides the most urgent question to ask is not ‘How do we save you?’ but ‘Have you been hurting women?’

It is a policy of breathtaking intellectual dishonesty and moral inversion.'

'Daniel Floyd loves a long, droopy foreskin, but his own was cut off when he was a baby. Around his fourth birthday, he started having recurring nightmares of being strapped to a table with his limbs splayed out while a doctor or neighbor cut off his genitals, sometimes with garden shears. The dreams continued until middle school, which is when the feeling of the tip of his penis rubbing against his underwear started to drive him crazy. It was irritating and uncomfortable, and it filled him with rage.

'Recent studies and discussions have raised the alarm about female power. Pundits such as Helen Andrews, Cory Clark, and Bo Winegard (see my discussion and links here) have made the evidence-based case that women in general are not as committed as men in general to objective excellence and the pursuit of truth. Women overall prefer equity, inclusion, and compassion for victims.

When women are the majority in an organization, the values of the organization shift away from meritocracy and toward group consensus, the suppression of dissent, and protection of the vulnerable.

'In the video, the three women discuss the findings of a poll they carried out on Gen Z and their attitudes towards the opposite sex. The results of the poll certainly aren’t a surprise to me and won’t be to anyone who has been actually paying attention. But the women seem to be taken aback and surprised by the findings.

It turns out, drum roll…… young men don’t hate young women anywhere near as much as young women hate men. What a shock!

For me, the results are depressingly predictable. What was fascinating to me was listening to their response to it. Lot’s of “what could be going on here?” and “I don’t really understand why”…..

The lady conducting the interview keeps saying over and over “that’s interesting”. Interesting? It’s “interesting” that huge swathes of young women seem to inexplicably hate men? What could possibly be the reason for this?

'South Korea's fertility rate – the average number of babies born to each woman – is just 0.8, provoking profound fears for its future, since this is far below the 2.1 level needed to ensure population stability without immigration.

The nation has become the most striking example of the global decline in birth rates, a decline that has left two-thirds of people living in countries with fertility rates below this critical level. There is concern that half of South Korea's rapidly ageing population will be pensioners within three decades, making its population the oldest in human history.

But it is South Korea where the problem is greatest. Many of the concerns facing its women are familiar to us in Britain, such as soaring housing costs, workplace sexism and the trade-off between a career and motherhood.

'A few weeks ago, while aimlessly scrolling through TikTok videos, I was grabbed by an unusual caption. The video, posted by a woman simply known as “@LTP823”, features the unique tagline “Teaching my 5-year-old daughter to be a misandrist”.

LTP remains semi-anonymous on her TikTok account, refraining from sharing her name beyond those three initials, and a brief bio describing her as a divorced mom and book lover from Washington, D.C. Misandry is commonly known as a strong dislike or hatred towards men. Its definition, according to Merriam-Webster, is simply “a hatred of men”.

Immediately intrigued, I went from aimlessly scrolling to being intently focused on the video. LTP explains that her daughter will inevitably be subjected to growing up in a patriarchal society, and that she wants her daughter to go into the world with an “inflated sense of self”.

LTP has deliberately selected female providers to be part of her young daughter’s life, whether as her doctor, dentist, or other professional.'

'Last month, CNN published an investigation exposing a global online ‘rape academy’ where men gather to swap advice and encourage one another to drug and assault their wives, film them while unconscious, and evade detection.

I follow women’s issues closely and I almost missed this story. That alone should tell us something about how little attention it’s receiving.

According to CNN’s reporting, one porn site, Motherless.com, hosts 20,000 videos of so-called “sleep content,” with descriptive tags such as #passedout and #eyecheck, with hundreds of thousands of views. In February of this year alone, the site received around 62 million visits.

Let that sink in—62 million clicks in just one month.

Men logging on to learn how to drug and violate their wives, their partners, the women sleeping beside them, the people who trust them most. This is not a niche crime or a fringe corner of the internet. This is a global network that teaches men how to drug and rape women, and it is met with near silence.'

'For decades, we’ve been told a simple story: when women fall behind, it’s injustice. When men fall behind, it’s failure.

That may sound exaggerated. But new experimental research suggests it isn’t.

A recent large-scale study involving more than 35,000 Americans found something striking. When participants were presented with a situation in which a worker had fallen behind—earned less, performed worse, or ended up with nothing—people responded differently depending on whether that worker was male or female.

When the low performer was a man, significantly more participants chose to give him nothing. When the low performer was a woman, more participants redistributed support. Even more revealing, participants were more likely to believe that the man had fallen behind because he didn’t try hard enough.'

'A drive to encourage police officers to report misogyny in the ranks ‘flopped’ after it led to only seven online submissions.

They were able to upload pictures – for example screengrabs of offensive WhatsApp messages – in a bid to help stamp out sexist attitudes.

It came after former Chief Constable Sir Iain Livingstone branded Police Scotland institutionally misogynist and racist.

The photo scheme, called Photovoice, was described as an ‘innovative approach which enabled participants to capture and share an insight into their world’.

But the Mail can reveal only seven responses were received – and no disciplinary action was taken in relation to any of them.

Scottish Tory community safety spokesman Sharon Dowey said: ‘Misogyny in all walks of life must be tackled, but this well-intentioned scheme has clearly flopped within Police Scotland.'

'The road to female infallibility started innocently enough, with most believing that feminism was only trying to level the playing field. Things then accelerated quickly. Feminism had a secret weapon: It was kryptonite for men. Given men’s natural disinclination to fight with women, good men simply went silent about women’s lib, while the bad ones “benefitted” from and promoted it. Without any societal restraint, feminists ran amok, eventually saturating the culture with female dominance, entitlement, and self-righteous confidence.

'Men, well, there is a real problem – young women don’t rate you. According to a new poll, only 35 per cent of British women under 25 hold a positive view of men, with just 11 per cent expressing a very positive outlook.

It gets slightly better in the under-30s – with 50 per cent of women having a favourable view of men. The findings also show that women under 30 are three times more likely to hold a negative view of men, compared with women over 30.

What contributes to women’s unadoring views of men, according to the research carried out for The New Statesman, is men’s perceived overemphasis on sexual motivation and a nonchalance about political issues – with one in six women claiming they wouldn’t date a man if he had opposing political views about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or Trump.

'Gen Z is struggling to break into the entry-level job market—but young male college graduates may be hurting the most.

Data from the Federal Reserve indicates that the unemployment rate among recent college graduates is on the rise, at about 5.6%.

Although it remains lower than the 7.8% rate among all young workers between 22 and 27 years old, men with a college degree now have roughly the same unemployment rate as young men who didn’t go to college, according to an analysis of U.S. Current Population Survey data by the Financial Times.

In comparison, around 2010, non-college-educated men experienced unemployment rates over 15%, whereas the rate among college graduates was closer to 7%.

It’s a stark sign that the job market boost once promised by a degree has all but vanished and that employers care less about credentials than they once did when hiring for entry-level roles.'

'For that and other reasons, women studying veterinary medicine now outnumber men by four to one.

It’s not just veterinary school. The number of women has surpassed the number of men in law school, medical school, pharmacy school, optometry school and dental school.

Women in the United States now earn 40 percent more doctoral degrees overall, and nearly twice as many master’s degrees, as men, according to the U.S. Department of Education — a trend transforming high-end work.

This is no longer some distant statistical abstraction. Americans can see it when they take their pets to the vet or their kids to the dentist, need a lawyer or an eye exam, see a therapist or pick up a prescription.'
