'In a sweeping change to its enlistment regulations, the Army has raised the maximum age for eligible recruits to 42, the service announced.

Changes highlighted in the memo, which was distributed this week and will go into effect in April, also include the removal of previous enlistment obstacles for recruits who have a single marijuana or drug paraphernalia conviction.

The announcement comes as the Army continues efforts to widen its recruiting pool after falling short of its Regular Army enlistment goals in 2022 and 2023 before rebounding in 2024.

The upper limit of the Army’s previous allowable enlistment age was 35, but waivers were sometimes granted for older enlistees.

The Air Force and Navy allow recruits over 40, while the Marine Corps caps enlistment at 28 but allows hopefuls who are 29 or over to request waivers.'

'Despite this, our society still lags far behind in providing support for male victims. Shelters, hotlines, and resources tailored for men are scarce, if they exist at all in many communities.

The domestic violence allegations involving Taylor Frankie Paul, star of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (and the filmed but ultimately scrapped season of The Bachelorette), have thrust the issue back into the spotlight this week.

In February 2023, police in Herriman, Utah, responded to a domestic violence call at Paul’s home. According to charging documents, she threw multiple objects—including her phone and metal barstools—during an argument with then-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen. One of the items allegedly struck her young daughter, who was in the room at the time. Paul was charged with aggravated assault, domestic violence in the presence of a child, child abuse, and criminal mischief.'

'But any dissection of Norris also needs to size up his effect on the culture of masculinity. Walker helped augur an ethos of aggrieved righteousness that would soon dominate everything from country music to Christian movies and, more toxically, would forerun the manosphere with its aggro-flouting of a perceived feminization of American society. “If I want your opinion, I’ll beat it out of you,” Norris would say on the show. It was a funny quip. It also traces a line straight to Andrew Tate.

Through this lens, then, the year 2026 hardly seems possible without Norris. He both encouraged all of us to contribute culturally and then suggested the kind of chippy masculinity that might comprise those contributions.

In recent years, it has been easy to forget just how foreign some of these concepts were until Chuck Norris came along. But his death has stirred some reminders. As it inevitably must. In his movies, Chuck Norris was neglected, derided, marginalized. But he always had the last kill.'

'The “Great Feminization” refers to the fact that many institutions are controlled by women who resort to gossip, ostracism, and shunning to advance their particular agendas. Commentator Helen Andrews posits the Great Feminization is “simply what women do whenever there are enough of them in a given organization or field.”

The Great Feminization represents a singular threat to fields that rely on open inquiry (academia), intellectual honesty (journalism), or a commitment to basic fairness. Andrews asserts the Great Feminization portends the decline of meritocracy among women and the elimination of fairness for men.'

'The video, published by TMZ, followed news Paul and Mortensen were involved in another domestic assault investigation, with police saying 'allegations have been made in both directions.'

Additionally, TMZ is now reporting that the latest domestic assault allegations may have put Paul into further legal jeopardy in regards to her 2023 case

Now a representative for Paul, 31, says the reality star is 'grateful' for the support she has been receiving from ABC as she 'prioritizes her family’s safety and security.'

In a statement obtained by People, her rep alleged Paul was actually the victim, claiming she had been 'silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation' for years.

The statement claims Paul is now 'gaining the strength to face her accuser' and is taking action to ensure she and her children will be safe from 'further harm'.'

'Diversity, equity, and inclusion have become the north star of every major industry, especially those with any artistic or cultural capital. If anything, hiring white guys is overtly discouraged so that companies can hit diversity quotas and enjoy the achievement of a diverse workplace.

When such companies and industries do not boast incredibly diverse bona fides, the culture becomes hostile toward them, routinely creating pressure campaigns designed to rearrange the demographics in favor of their preferred makeup or preaching that we need to “do better,” with no end in sight.'

'Traditional circumcisions can carry fatal risks including poorly trained practitioners and cutting tools that are unsanitary or used more than once. Dehydration and badly managed septic wounds are among the main causes of death, and the remote settings mean help is usually far away.

“Imagine this number: 476 young people died in a five-year period and yet they were well before going into initiation. These deaths are unacceptable and should never have happened,” former health minister Zwelini Mkhize told parliament last year.

But these are risks that hundreds of thousands of South Africans are ready to take.

The next season begins in June. They happen twice a year.'

(One thing that swingers esp. have to always remember: obtain consent before doing anything.) Excerpt:

'An Irish woman who will go on trial after allegedly groping a teenager in a Magaluf hotel spa insists she wants her day in court to clear her name.

The woman, 38, at the time of the alleged assault, was hauled to court after being arrested for allegedly touching a Swedish man's genitals without his consent in a Turkish steam bath.

The sex assault is alleged to have occurred around 6pm at the four-star Hotel Martinique in Magaluf on June 3 when the Irish woman, who lives in County Cork, was still 37 and the younger man just 18.'

'New research into cyberaggression suggests women are more aggressive than would be believed from research conducted in the real world1,2. Any genderised discussion of aggression is always sensitive, as this issue engenders strong views and is highly politicised. In fact, the politicisation of aggression and violence may be an indicator of one of its roles and causes in society3. Yet discussion of aggression, even cyberaggression, is often built on a foundation focused on males as archetypal perpetrators4-6. However, a study of female digital aggression casts doubts on assertions that aggression is programmed, and more commonly emitted by males. Rather, digital behaviour suggests women are not programmed to be passive, but are just as actively aggressive as men, and, in some circumstances, more so.'

'New government investment will enable women’s centres and charities across the country to deliver vital specialist help to female offenders, the overwhelming majority of whom are themselves victims of crime.

The multi‑year package represents a 50 per cent increase in funding to help women get clean, find work and accommodation, and move away from abusive relationships.

This support is key to cutting crime with evidence showing how more than two‑thirds of women in custody report being victims of domestic abuse, a factor which is a known indicator of crimes.

Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy said:
Punishment must help women break away from lives of crime, not send them back to a prison cell time and again, disrupting their own lives and those of their children.

'The ‘National Board of the Norwegian Association for Women’s Rights’ put forward three arguments against female conscription in 2013. Firstly, that incorporating women into the draft is a “misconceived equality”. Economic and social gender gaps are still wide, and this conscription would, in their view, worsen it. Secondly, that militarising women does not legitimise the practice of conscription. Conscription has its own problems that need to be resolved without bringing in a new group to be subject to it. The military would still be male dominated regardless of if more women were involved, this needs to be solved before women can be brought into it by force. Thirdly, they argue in favour of non-violence. They believe that disarmament for both men and women is a more crucial goal than increasing those militarised by including women.

'A woman has been sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison after falsely accusing 10 men of raping her.

Stacey Sharples, 31, from Farnworth in Bolton, pleaded guilty on Monday at Bolton Crown Court to 10 counts of perverting the course of justice.

The allegations were made between 2013 and 2019, with most of the men arrested and spending time in custody, including some undertaking intimate examinations, said Greater Manchester Police.

They added that a number of the men lost their jobs or partners, were disowned by family and friends, or saw declines in their mental health after being falsely branded a rapist.

Greater Manchester Police said the investigation into Sharples began after lines of inquiry "consistently" revealed evidence contrary to what had been disclosed by her.'

'Many Americans believe that vaccines are unsafe, but will jab themselves full of performance enhancers. They think seed oils cause chronic disease, but beef tallow is healthy. They’ll say you can’t trust federally insured banks, but you can trust the millionaires who want you to invest in their volatile vaporware crypto tokens. They think food additives are toxic but support an administration removing all restrictions on pumping pollutants into air and water. They’ll insist that you can’t trust scientists, because they’re part of the conspiracy. The podcaster selling you his special creatine gummies, though? He seems trustworthy.'

'A police constable who reported late for duty falsely claimed it was because she had been sexually assaulted by a fellow officer.

Lauren Evans, 34, said a plain-clothes cop in an unmarked car stopped her while she was driving in March 2023 and falsely claimed he was called 'Watson.'

The next day, innocent PC Alex Watson – who Evans had never met – was arrested in front of his wife and children as they arrived home from a wedding.

By coincidence, Mr Watson was driving an unmarked car in the area where Evans, from Kent, alleged the attack had occurred.

He was arrested and spent 23 hours in custody before detectives established that Evans had made up the allegation.'

'A 31-year-old mother is facing jail for meeting men on dating apps and falsely accusing them of rape in a 'wicked pack of lies'.

Stacy Sharples admitted to making up the allegations against ten men, many of whom spent hours in police custody and months on bail.

She even bragged to one of her victims that the police were 'not pressing charges. I've got away with it. Yet again.'

None of the men she accused were charged.

Her false allegations cost the taxpayer a 'conservative estimate' of £120,000 due to wasted police, legal and medical time, Bolton Crown Court heard.'
