Criticism Mounts as Police Chief Is Sued for Workplace Discrimination

Article here. Excerpt:

'Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge is facing mounting criticism over how her department handled the brawl that erupted in the streets of downtown on July 25, while also being accused of workplace discrimination, the New York Post reported Saturday.

When video footage of the incident spread online, showing several people beating a man, and a woman being knocked unconscious, officials denounced the violent behavior, according to Breitbart News.

In addition, the Post report said Theetge was being sued by several officers who accused her of discriminating against white lieutenants when it came to promotions and assignments, noting the lawsuit was filed in May.

The officers in the suit have claimed the chief overlooked them and handed out the privileges to minority and female lieutenants.

Gavin Newsom tackles masculinity crisis via executive order

Article here. Excerpt:

'Gov. Gavin Newsom is the latest Democratic leader to address the question of how to solve rising rates of loneliness, substance use disorder, and economic stagnation among American men.

On Wednesday, he issued an executive order directing his administration to engage more men and boys by identifying civic volunteer opportunities, expanding mental health support, and recruiting more male teachers and school counselors.

Politicians on both sides of the aisle have trained their attention recently on how to improve educational, romantic and employment opportunities for men and boys, a phenomenon referred to as the “masculinity crisis.” The epidemic has been cited as a deciding factor in President Donald Trump’s reelection and as one of the reasons the Democratic Party’s popularity has plummeted to historic lows.'

Engineered Fatherlessness Creates Chaos

Article and video here. Excerpt:

'This 2021 video explores the growing issue of fatherlessness, questioning whether it’s been deliberately engineered or simply allowed to happen. It exposes the fact that we knew even in the 1960’s the devastating impact of not having fathers in the home. It shows some little known, and basically ignored research about this issue. Yes, Dan Quayle was correct!'

Mass circumcision ceremony leaves 39 boys dead and dozens more mutilated

Article here. Excerpt:

'The 2025 tribal 'initiation ceremony' where teenage males in South Africa undergo agonising circumcision has ended – with 39 deaths and dozens more boys mutilated.

Despite a target being set by the Government of zero fatalities this year, the figure is still a huge drop on last year where 93 died, while a total of 361 boys have died in the last five years.

Gruesome complications in 2024 led to 11 penis amputations after unskilled traditional 'surgeons' used old spears and razor blades to perform the eye-watering rituals.'

Why Is Masculine Maturity So Hard to Talk About Today?

Article here. Excerpt:

'In the early 1990s, you could walk into a bookstore and find entire tables devoted to the male journey. Robert Bly’s Iron John was a bestseller. Sam Keen, James Hillman, Michael Meade,​ Robert Moore, Richard Rohr — all were offering soulful, intelligent takes on what it meant to be a man. It wasn’t about domination. It wasn’t about “reclaiming power.” It was about emotional honesty, growth, and purpose. In other words: maturity.

Fast forward to today, and you’ll find… almost nothing. Talk about masculinity now and the conversation quickly turns to toxicity, privilege, or fragile male egos. Where once there was myth, poetry, and psychology, we now get slogans and shame.

Why did this happen? Why is masculine maturity such a neglected subject?

Here are a few answers — and a couple of stories that may help explain why the silence around men runs so deep.'

Gaza aid site offered a 'women only' day. It didn't stop the killing

Article here. Excerpt:

'The food distribution was announced in advance, like many before it, in a post on social media carrying an illustration of smiling Palestinians receiving boxes of aid.

This time, however, the invitation shared by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) was different, featuring illustrations of only women.

"Tomorrow at our morning distribution at our location in the Saudi district, only women are welcome to come and receive a food box," the GHF post said. "Men should avoid the site during this distribution."

Mary Sheikh al-Eid wanted to feed her seven children. Her husband had been killed earlier in the war and the family had been surviving on lentil soup for three weeks, said Mary's sister Khawla, but the last week had been a struggle.

Elliot Page is not the role model boys need

Article here. Excerpt:

'Women are now better at being men than men themselves. At least, that’s the message from Streatham Wells Primary, where pupils are being taught that Hollywood actress Elliot Page — formerly Ellen — is a shining example of positive masculinity.

Page, who underwent a double mastectomy and now identifies as a man, is, according to headteacher Sarah Wordlaw, the embodiment of what boys should aspire to be. “We need to encourage empathy, kindness, showing emotions,” she said, “listening to alternative points of view, and developing emotional literacy.”

Obama and Democrats don’t get it: Masculinity is not the problem. Erasing it is

Article here. Excerpt:

'On the recent IMO podcast, former President Barack Obama, alongside Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, claimed young men "don’t need sports" but instead need "gay mentors" and shouldn’t strive to be providers.

While the comment was dressed in intellectual language, let’s call it what it is: the latest in a series of assaults by the radical left on masculinity, tradition and biology.

This isn't just another misguided soundbite. It's part of a broader social re-engineering campaign, one that aims to redefine manhood by ignoring everything history, nature and civilization have taught us. If we allow it to continue, the outcome is not enlightenment. It's collapse.'

Around the World, Feminists Have Become the New Extremists

Article here. Excerpt:

'Banging drums at the Columbia University library in early May, a group of protesters shouted: “Free, free Palestine!” They etched political slogans on the walls and defaced the library. At the end, 78 protesters were arrested – 60 of them female (1).

Whether the cause is Gaza, climate change, or Black Lives Matter, an overrepresentation of young women has become the norm in progressive activism.

Gallup reports that among American men aged 18 to 29, their political views have remained steady over the years. But among young women, the percentage who identify as “liberal” has soared, rising from 29% in 2000 to 40% in 2023. (2)

Gallup concludes, “a widening of the ideological gaps between men and women over time has been due to women becoming more liberal at a faster rate than men.”'

"I quit my job, divorced my husband, and moved to Italy to retire."

Article here. If a man wrote this same piece saying he left his wife etc. to enjoy retirement in Italy, he'd be castigated. Just pointing out the double-standard. Excerpt:

'So I quit my job, retired, and divorced my husband. We had 30 years together and raised our amazing kids. But I didn't want just to walk the dog, play pickleball, and tend a garden. I wanted a bigger life.

After the divorce, I moved into a small apartment in Colorado with a monthly rent of $1,700. I still have it and rent it out to traveling nurses abroad.

In the beginning, I thought I'd travel the majority of the year, come back to the States, and live a "normal" life there for one month a year.

For some time, I did that. I've visited nearly 50 countries, including Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Madagascar, Turkey, Cyprus, and the more popular spots, like France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece.'

As of today, in Italy, the killing of a woman is considered more serious than the killing of a man

Article here. Excerpt:

'Unanimously approved in Italy, the bill introducing the crime of femicide. The senators gave their first-reading approval to the measure, which now moves to the Chamber of Deputies. The bill establishes femicide as a new, autonomous crime, punishable by life imprisonment when the murder is committed for reasons of discrimination, control, possession, domination, rejection, or hatred specifically and exclusively toward a woman.

The law introduces a serious legal asymmetry: it recognizes a specific criminal offense only if the victim is female. In doing so, the legal system moves away from the universality of criminal law, which should punish the act, not the identity of the person involved. The same action, killing a partner out of jealousy or a need for control, would be punished more severely if the victim is a woman, and not if the victim is a man. This results in a form of reverse discrimination.'

Heterofatalism: or How to Blame Men For Everything

Article here. Excerpt:

'This is a response to a recent New York Times article by Jean Garnett titled “The Trouble With Wanting Men.” The subtitle says it all: “Women are so fed up with dating men that the phenomenon even has a name — heterofatalism. So what do we do with our desire?”

Sometimes, the best response is a little humor while flipping the script. See what you think.

Ah, “heterofatalism” — the brand-new term coined for the collective exasperation of women who, after navigating the complex world of dating, come to the conclusion that men are the root of all relationship woes. You see, the issue isn't just that men are occasionally anxious, emotionally distant, or a little too obsessed with their sports teams; no, the real problem is that these poor souls — with all their confusing desires, communication issues, and tendency to occasionally ghost you after a couple of drinks — are making it impossible for women to live happily ever after.'
