Is Masculinity in Crisis? These TV Shows Suggest Yes

Article here. Excerpt:

'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.'

People view coercive control in relationships as less harmful when the victim is a man

Article here. Excerpt:

'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.'

What’s Wrong with Feminist Rights?

Article here. Excerpt:

'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.'

Automatic registration for US military draft to begin in December

Article here. Excerpt:

'Eligible men will automatically be registered into the military draft pool by December as part of an effort to streamline the previous process of self-registration and save money.

The Selective Service System (SSS) — the government agency that maintains a database of men to be called up to serve in the case of a national emergency — submitted a proposed rule to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on March 30, according to the office’s website.

Most men between the ages of 18 and 25 are already required to register with the Selective Service, but automatic registration was mandated in December 2025 as part of the fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act.

The change, which was meant to save money, “transfers responsibility for registration from individual men to SSS through integration with federal data sources,” according to the website.'

A humourous look at the birth rate and gender relations

The Dark Path to Increasing the Birth Rate

Full article by Med Gold here.

Bad news, men. The situation is dire. Time to face the hard truth.

It’s critical for men to know they can still get other women if his woman leaves him or he leaves her. And he only has this knowledge if he’s had experience with women in the past and knows what parts of himself he needs to cultivate to remain sexually relevant.

This isn’t only for his sake, but for the sake of the relationship. His wife will respect him more and will be more likely to treat him well because she’ll know, even if subconsciously, that he has options. Women‘s biggest fear is her man leaving her for a prettier, more fertile woman.

Masculinity Experts “Map the Manosphere” and Find Nothing Good

Article here. Excerpt:

'According to them, the manosphere is brimming over with grievance-mongering, grift, and gynocidal fantasy. Nothing in it is good or sincere or well-intentioned. Various sub-genres of online content, including fitness advice, stoicism, and the tradwife lifestyle, are presented as outgrowths of misogynistic extremism from which millions of men and boys require rescue, by force if necessary.

The researchers make no distinction between manosphere content generally and what they call male supremacy—or, indeed, between those terms and a host of others, all pejorative. Their introductory paragraph alone provides a roll call of buzzwords that link any dissent from Marxist-feminist orthodoxy to misogynistic violence.

"Don't let her Rose you"

Humorous test of girlfriend instincts. Instructional video here.

It was a test, "babe," to see what kind of partner you are. I'm in a fight, and your move is to hold my arms behind my back? ... Have you seen "Titanic"? That scene where Rose is literally in a lifeboat and jumps back onto the ship so she can be with Jack? Every guy saw her do that, and instantly went, "Well, Jack's dead." That's what you did here today. You Rose'd me.

Later in the thread, some posters discuss:

Q. Can anyone try to explain this behaviour? Any women here who has done this who would like to explain the process that leads you to do this?

A. It's evolutionary. She is slightly disadvantaging the OLD sperm donor to allow the NEW sperm donor to prevail (providing a variety of offspring with HER genetic material). This very dark atavistic/evolutionary impulse MUST be tamed in society

German men need military permit for extended stays abroad

Article here. Excerpt:

'A new military service law took effect in Germany at the start of 2026 aimed at boosting the strength of the armed forces amid threats to European security in the wake of Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine.

The legislation was contentious and many people even took to the streets to protest the potential reintroduction of mandatory military service — after conscription was suspended in 2011 — for men.

But another provision in the law has so far gone largely unnoticed.

It relates to a requirement for men between the ages of 18 and 46 to "obtain an approval from the relevant Bundeswehr Career Center if they wish to leave the Federal Republic of Germany for more than three months."'

Feminists are Relentlessly Advancing Towards Totalitarian Rule

Article here. Excerpt:

'Two weeks ago the United States made a proposal to the United Nations to define “gender” as referring only to a man or woman. The resolution was co-sponsored by 11 other countries and appeared to be headed for approval (1).

But rather than opening the floor for discussion and debate, feminist opponents invoked a controversial “no action motion” that served to thwart debate and side-track the proposal from further consideration. The “no action motion” is a good example of the underhanded tactics that gender ideologues utilize to suppress democratic procedures at the UN.

These are eight examples of feminist-driven totalitarian policies that have been implemented around the world:'

UK: Man blasts 'sexist' sentencing after scorned ex who sent revenge porn to his mother in stalking campaign avoids prison

Article here. Excerpt:

'Eve Yeoman, 24, waged a three-month stalking campaign against her ex after he broke off their relationship, bombarding him with calls and waiting outside his workplace and home.

It culminated in Yeoman sending a 'sexually explicit' photo of her ex, which she took during their relationship without his knowledge or consent, to his mother.

She sent the intimate image with the message: 'This is what your son is like. I hope him and all his family rot in hell.'

But this week, Yeoman escaped a prison sentence and was handed a restraining order, banning her from contacting her ex-boyfriend.

The young man, also 24 and who cannot be named, said she should have gone to prison, and accused the justice system of being 'sexist' by not punishing her more severely.

He said: 'I think her sentence is far too lenient. When I saw the email from the police officer telling me, my first reaction was that it was an April Fools Joke.

Lawyers for female teacher accused of grooming boy then having sex with him when he hit age of consent claim victim is partly to blame

Article here. Excerpt:

'The lawyer of a New Jersey middle school teacher who is accused of grooming her student from when he was 12 years old claimed the alleged victim was complicit and 'not a babe in the woods’.

Rocco Cipparone, Ashley Fisler's attorney, defended his client in court on Wednesday during a virtual hearing that lasted roughly an hour, according to the New York Post.

Fisler, who was employed at Orchard Valley Middle School, was arrested on March 23 after her alleged victim claimed they were in a sexual relationship in 2021 while he was her student and had sex with him at least six times.

A portion of the hearing centered around the 7,500 text messages exchanged between the former teacher and the boy.

'He's not texting like a kid…his texts are as graphic and direct as any I've seen from an adult,' Cipparone said.

'I'm not saying he's not the age he is, but this is not a babe in the woods scenario that Ms. Finley is creating from a risk and a danger perspective.''
