'A strange pattern across Sabrina Carpenter’s music videos was hotly discussed online.

Netizens made claims of double standards after they noticed that the 26-year-old singer’s videos had a specific rule: the men rarely survive.

“What would happen if a male artist did this to women?” one asked online, while another wrote, “Imagine the outrage if the roles were reversed.”

Sabrina Carpenter’s music videos have an exaggerated way of storytelling, where men don’t seem to be very safe.

Her hit tracks like Taste, Tears, Feather, and Manchild depict male characters meeting violent ends, but in a comical and dark-humor kind of way.

The Grammy winner herself has addressed the running gag in her video on a few occasions.'

'A new study reveals that online communities dedicated to hating men share strikingly similar behaviors and language patterns with communities dedicated to hating women. The research suggests that gender driven hate speech is a broad phenomenon characteristic of toxic digital groups, regardless of the victim’s gender. These findings were published in the journal Scientific Reports.
...
Historically, researchers and content moderators have focused heavily on misogyny, which is the hatred of or prejudice against women. A routine search of academic databases reveals hundreds of thousands of papers examining online misogyny over the past two decades. In contrast, academic attention toward misandry, defined as the hatred of or prejudice against men, remains notably scarce. Studies examining misandry only began to appear around 2014, leaving huge gaps in the scientific understanding of digital harassment.'

'Wednesday marked the grand opening of The Legacy Collective, Omaha's first women-only membership club.

It's located near 107th and Pacific streets.

Founders of The Legacy Collective said the space is designed for women to pause, collaborate, and thrive.

Members will enjoy curated experiences, networking opportunities, and amenities aimed at elevating personal and professional growth.

The exclusive club features event space and personal suites, quiet lounges, corporate spaces, a private outdoor patio, and a coffee and wine bar.

"I hope it will encourage women to be vulnerable, to share what their challenges are, their struggles are, and I also hope it will inspire women to build what is most in their hearts, their desires, and their dreams, similar to what we built here at The Legacy Collective," said The Legacy Collective co-founder and CEO Dr. Sasha Shillcutt.'

'The Democratic Party of Korea's Gwangju Metropolitan City chapter has finalized candidate matchups for the June 3 local council elections, but several women-designated districts are drawing controversy over candidates with troubled records.

According to the Gwangju chapter on Sunday, the party designated four city council electoral districts as women-only strategic zones to expand female political participation.

The system was introduced to increase opportunities for women politicians to advance in local councils and enhance political diversity.

However, controversy has erupted in Gwangsan District No. 5, where former Gwangju City Council member Kim Gwang-ran — who sparked outrage by concealing a drunk driving incident for an extended period — has filed her candidacy. When the matter came to light, the council held an expulsion vote, and Kim received a six-month suspension from council attendance and party positions.'

'Just 35 per cent of British women under the age of 25 hold a positive view of men, according to a new poll.

The findings show only 11 per cent of young women hold a very positive view, while women under 30 are three times as likely to hold a negative view of men compared to the over-30s.

According to the poll carried out by Merlin Strategy for the New Statesman, young women “don’t care for” young men, believing the feelings are mutual, and citing an over-focus on sexual motivation and a lack of care about political issues, with women aged between 18 and 30 found to be the most progressive demographic in the UK by far.

'Tristan Cressingham didn’t expect his relationship of seven months to end in quite as spectacular a fashion as it did.

At the start of November 2025, the 23-year-old photographer received a message from his then girlfriend who, he says, detailed the reasons why she wanted to be single and the things about him which gave her what she called “the ick”.

He says it featured a wide-ranging critique about everything from the length of his shorts (too short, apparently) to his keenness to reply to messages.

“Basically, she said she thought I was a bit ‘cringe’,” Tristan says.

Around the same time, a Vogue feature by Chanté Joseph headlined “Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?” went viral. The piece, published in October 2025, didn’t decry the appearances of men, but questioned the entire concept of having a heterosexual relationship.

'On the internet, women and men have never been more alienated from each other. While the toxic, often hard-right politics of the manosphere have been exhaustively documented, the new generation of female influencers are nearly as extreme – just on the other side of the political spectrum. The “femosphere” spans a range of tones: there are misandrist dating coaches who urge women to reject men altogether, and more explicitly progressive content creators who cover global and domestic politics.

'Christopher Eccleston has hit out at 'woke' TV bosses for 'turning white, middle-aged men into toxic villains' in a scathing rant.

The actor, 62, is well known for his roles in Our Friends In The North, The Leftovers and playing the Ninth Doctor in Doctor Who.

Speaking in a new interview, Christopher claimed there was a 'trend' among antagonists in current scripted dramas.

It comes as he is set to play a sinister cult leader in upcoming six-part Netflix series Unchosen.

Christopher told Radio Times magazine: 'There's a great trend in drama at the moment for antagonists who are toxic, white, apparently heterosexual, late-middle-aged men.

'Thankfully, Julia gave him dimension and placed him in a story of tragedy involving the loss of his son and alcoholism.

Christopher also told the publication: 'Masculinity is in crisis, and it seems it’s particularly white, working-class boys who are being neglected, left to rot by governments and targeted by the far Right.'

'The updated version of the strategy comes against a backdrop of criticism that women's voices are often ignored and marginalised by the NHS.

Streeting said some women have been made to feel like "second class citizens" with their pain treated "as an inconvenience and their symptoms as an overreaction".

In his interview with Woman's Hour, the health secretary described a "culture of medical misogyny, sexism in the NHS, both conscious and unconscious bias", in a system which was "getting disproportionately worse for women".

Among the new measures announced by the government is a new "patient power payment" scheme.

The government says this will enable women to give feedback and report their experiences of treatment. Based on that, money will be allocated to areas needing improvement, and providers getting negative feedback could lose funding.'

'Men are inherently selfish. They’re only interested in one thing. If you do manage to hook one into a relationship, don’t be surprised if you find yourself doing all the housework and tending to his emotions as well as his sexual desires — at least, until he decides to replace you with an even more compliant “bangmaid”.

I ought to make it clear that these are not my personal beliefs. But if you hang around long enough in the quarter of the internet known as the “femosphere”, these are the messages you are going to hear. You’ll also discover that there’s a solution: women need to harden their hearts and learn to manipulate men, the same way that men have purportedly been manipulating women for millennia.

'Jessica McClure Morales, who gained national attention as “Baby Jessica” in the 1980s when she became stuck in a well, is making news again after being arrested on domestic violence charges.

Officers in Midland, Texas, responded to reports of a domestic disturbance at her home Saturday night, and the 40-year-old Morales was taken into custody.

She has been charged with assault causing bodily injury involving family violence.

In October 1987, Baby Jessica—just 18 months old—fell into a well in the backyard of her aunt’s home in Midland, Texas.

It was a story that caught the attention of the entire country.'

'We men are trying. Truly! We’re trying to be there for our partners and our kids. Struggling to follow the rules as they were presented to us: work hard, fly straight, die on the beach with a daiquiri in hand. But we’re struggling. We’re confused and conflicted because the game we thought we were playing turns out to be just as rigged against us as it is against everyone else.

Television is now saturated with self-doubting, affluent white male characters dealing with a world that no longer gives priority to their needs. The problem, as a trio of newish shows suggests, is that the old scripts for proving one’s vaunted manliness no longer function the way they once did—if they ever did.'

'A recent study published in Sex Roles suggests that the general public often underestimates the dangers of controlling relationship behaviors when the victims are men. The research provides evidence that people tend to take emotional and psychological abuse more seriously when it is directed at women, leaving men and LGBTQ+ individuals at a higher risk of being overlooked. These findings indicate that societal stereotypes continue to shape how people perceive and respond to unhealthy relationship dynamics.

Coercive control is an ongoing pattern of behavior where one person tries to dominate, isolate, or intimidate their partner. This concept goes beyond a single argument, instead describing a sustained campaign to restrict a person’s freedom and independence. Most public awareness campaigns and previous scientific studies have focused heavily on women experiencing this type of abuse from men in heterosexual relationships.'

'Men will be barred from using parts of an on-campus gym at the University of Southern California under a new initiative to make women and non-binary gym-goers feel more comfortable while working out.

The Student Assembly for Gender Empowerment (SAGE) pushed for the new rules in partnership with the Lyon Center, a recreational facility controlled by the university.

SAGE describes itself as a “programming assembly and intersectional feminist organization under the student government, committed to uplifting all voices oppressed by the patriarchy.”'

'Dating from 1949, The Second Sex is still revered as “a foundational tract of contemporary feminism”, “the mothership of feminist philosophy”, and ranked foremost among “must-read” feminist books. But contemporary readers may be astounded to learn that, 76 years ago, author Simone de Beauvoir was prepared to declare a feminist victory:

'Many women today, fortunate to have had all the privileges of the human being restored to them, can afford the luxury of impartiality: we even feel the necessity of it. We are no longer like our militant predecessors; we have more or less won the game; in the latest discussions on women’s status, the UN has not ceased to imperiously demand equality of the sexes, and indeed many of us have never felt our femaleness to be a difficulty or an obstacle...'

Yet by 2002, 31% of women weren’t “satisfied with the treatment of women in society” according to a Gallup survey.

Today, most women (56%) aren’t satisfied.'
