Saw this on Facebook and thought, "How tragic. Yet it is consistent with how ideologies operate; they use people. When those people start thinking a bit too much for themselves, they end them, sometimes literally.

She could read at two, became a lawyer at seventeen, and was leading Spain's sexual revolution at eighteen—until her mother decided the sculpture had a fatal flaw and destroyed her own creation.

Madrid, 1914. Aurora Rodríguez Carballeira had a plan. Not a motherhood plan—an experiment. She wanted to prove that with precise control over genetics, environment, and education, she could create the perfect woman. A woman who would lead Spain into a feminist future. A woman who would prove female intellectual superiority.

So Aurora chose her "physiological collaborator" with scientific precision—a brilliant military priest named Alberto Pallás who could never legally claim the child. Three calculated encounters. Then Aurora moved to Madrid, pregnant with her masterpiece.

'Last week scholar Carrie Gress issued a stinging rebuke of feminist ideology, charging the movement has evolved into a secular “megachurch” with its own doctrines, rituals, and sacraments (1). Like all movements grounded in Marxist ideology, Gress’ comments highlight how the global feminist crusade is now collapsing under the weight of its ideological excess, bloated bureaucracies, and anti-democratic policies.

The collapse began two years ago when Argentinian President Javier Milei dismantled his country’s Ministry of Women (2). In May of this year, Professor David Geary published an exposé revealing the fraudulent numbers behind the feminist-driven Global Gender Gap Index (3). In October, Helen Andrews published her acclaimed article, The Great Feminization, which exposed the disastrous effects of the feminist take-over of media outlets, schools, and other organizations (4).'

'The Sun reports Brighton and Hove Museums in the UK published a blog post on its website suggesting Santa should work alongside his elves on the presents production line to show they are equals.

Mrs Christmas should also emerge from the shadows and take her place at his side at a time when Christmas is being reassessed in many parts of the world as a symbol of everything it was never designed to be part of.

The group, granted £900,000 (U.S.$ 1,207,915) of taxpayer cash in October, says Santa’s “naughty and nice” list teaches children the “coloniser has the power to judge all people” and the time has come to right the wrongs of centuries of disinformation and hurtful attitudes.

The post was written by the museum’s Joint Head of Culture Change, Simone LaCorbinière and defies historical records which show Father Christmas first appeared in English folklore as a spirit of winter and universal good cheer in the 15th century.'

'But of course, by 2016, we were already too late.

The showrunner emailed us back apologetically. “I had initially thought I might be able to bring you guys on,” he wrote, “but in the end it wasn’t possible.”

We met with the executive anyway—a Gen-X white guy—who told us how much he loved our pilot. But the writers room was small, he explained apologetically, and the higher-level writers were all white men. They couldn’t have an all-white-male room. Maybe, if the show got another season, they’d be able to bring us on.

They never did.'

'Cambridge University’s Students’ Union (SU) has sought to distance itself from a gender-critical women’s society after registering the group, saying it was legally obliged to do so despite believing the society “contradicts” its ethos.

Founded in October by three students, the Cambridge University Society of Women (CUSW) describes itself as a group offering a “single-sex environment for women” at the university, with its constitution defining women as “adult human beings belonging to the female sex class,” thereby excluding transgender women.

Over the weekend, the society formally registered with the SU, allowing it to access benefits including Freshers’ Fair stalls.

However, hours after registration, the SU published two explanatory statements on its website – titled ‘The registering of gender-critical societies’ and ‘What role does the Students’ Union play in approving societies’.

'Samantha Wall recently was sentenced to 28 months in prison for her “unrelenting barrage of [online] abuse designed to maximise fear and distress.” One of her targets was UK businessman Brad Burton, who revealed Wall’s “fabricated accusations calling me a convicted violent offender, fraud, stalker, have tarnished my name, eroded trust and devastated my family’s sense of security."

The fact that females often are the perpetrators of online abuse has been well documented:'

'The International Council for Men and Boys (ICMB) today unveiled a comprehensive policy framework of 18 targeted reforms to address widespread structural disadvantages faced by men and boys. Grounded in international research, empirical studies, and tested practices, these reforms may avoid costly new programs in favor of low-cost, high-impact policy changes.

From family law and education to health equity and criminal justice, ICMB calls on governments, institutions, and civil society to act decisively. Each initiative is linked to one or more of 12 identified male-disadvantage areas, including fatherlessness, educational issues, suicide, legal bias, and partner abuse. Relevant disparities are listed after each strategy in italics.'

'“If you have a female teacher at the top of a classroom waving her finger in a condescending way at boys, saying, ‘You’re wrong for feeling this way’ or, ‘You’re guilty by association’, that is going to push young men towards more misogynistic behaviours,” he said.

“I think you need good male role models; I had one, which was my father.

“He taught me responsibility, accountability and duty serving the community but not all young men have that.

“They have fathers who are absent, abusive or simply not competent people.”

James added that any lessons will have to be “done properly” or the consequences will be severe.'

'You see this most clearly with emotions. Men have a distinct, consistent way of handling feelings. It’s not random, and it’s not a flaw — it’s a pattern rooted in biology, social roles, and testosterone. But rather than recognizing these differences, the modern lens tends to treat the male way as “deficient.”

Women talk to process.
Men act or withdraw to process.

Women regulate through expression.
Men regulate through doing.

Yet the male way is almost never acknowledged as legitimate. Instead, it’s measured against a female template — and found wanting.

And once you see this pattern, you start noticing it everywhere.'

'Boys as young as 11 will be sent on anti-misogyny courses designed to stamp out violence against women and girls, under government plans.

Pupils who show harmful behaviour will be signed up to “behaviour change programmes” in schools. The courses will be “focused on challenging deep-rooted misogynist influences”.

Sir Keir Starmer said “every parent should be able to trust that their daughter is safe at school, online and in her relationships” as the government announced its long-awaited strategy to halve violence against women and girls.

Jess Phillips, the safeguarding minister, pledged to “deploy the full power of the state to introduce the largest crackdown to stop violence perpetrated against women and girls”.

The programmes could cover image-based abuse, peer pressure, coercive behaviour, online harassment and stalking, and the fact that pornography does not reflect real relationships.

'Teachers will be given training to spot the signs of misogyny and tackle it in the classroom as part of the government's long-awaited strategy to halve violence against women and girls within the next decade.

The plans - which focus on preventing the radicalisation of young men - are due to be unveiled on Thursday, after being pushed back three times this year.

Pupils will be taught about issues such as consent, the dangers of sharing intimate images, how to identify positive role models, and to challenge unhealthy myths about women and relationships.

The £20m package will also include a new helpline for teenagers to get support for concerns about abuse in their own relationships.

The government hopes that by tackling the early roots of misogyny, it will prevent young men from becoming violent abusers.

Under the new plans, schools will send high-risk students to get extra care and support, including behavioural courses to tackle their prejudice against women and girls.

'The performed analyses reveal that no systematic differences can be devised across the misogynistic and misandric communities. This suggests that, in addressing the phenomenon of online gendered hate speech, both male-to-female and female-to-male perspectives should be taken into account, thus recognizing equal importance to both misandry and misogyny.'

'The gender stereotype that says “boys don’t cry” is being perpetuated implicitly by mothers more than fathers, a new University of Guelph study has revealed.

Prof. Kristel Thomassin found mothers may be more gender-biased than fathers when it comes to encouraging or discouraging their child’s expression of sadness and anger.

However, mothers likely aren’t even aware they have these gender biases.

“We found that on an implicit level, moms tend to show a bias, and this bias considers girls expressing these emotions to be more favourable than boys expressing the same emotions,” said the psychology professor and lead author of the study.

The Globe and Mail covered the research, and articles also appeared on CTVNews.ca and CBC KW.

Thomassin thought mothers and fathers would be more accepting of daughters showing sadness than sons and more accepting of sons showing anger than daughters.'
