'The following is the progression of ‘evolving’ for modern left-of-center women, for whom finding a meaningful work is the number one priority, children being the last, as the below illustrates.
...
When the recognition of slim to no talent or at least un-sellable talent, is made and a future of grinding for multinationals is revealed, and spiritual enlightenment or Kundalini awakening seems out of reach, the desperation moves onto Democrat politics, and ends in middle-aged and elderly woman on the streets, face contorted in rage. Those women, a full 40% of whom are childless and family-less, spend their lives slogging away in some corporate or health or educational structure, becoming semi-insane. As an aside note, in my years-long investigation of voter fraud, many of the operators are women just like these below: middle-aged, put together, well dressed, polite, fully criminal.'

'And can you blame her? Over the past decades, women’s emancipation went ahead, while men’s opportunities and success declined. The evidence is everywhere, starting with education, where boys’ academic performance has worsened at every level. Romantic relationships have always been asymmetric, typically a higher-status man with a lower-status woman. The reverse has never been the norm and exceptions only prove the rule. With emancipation, many women have climbed higher up the social ladder. Men, over the same period, have not only failed to keep pace but have slipped downward. The result is a dating market with too many successful women, too many failing men, and a crisis. If modern Anna’s options look like Tim from Tinder, why bother losing a night’s sleep?

'That’s not to say there isn’t truth to what’s being said; in the dating space, Krenn has seen a major rise in the number of women publicly voicing anger, resentment, or dismissal toward men as a group, not just toward specific behaviours. “What was once limited to small communities or private conversations is now broadcast and consumed on a mass scale, and it has even become fashionable in some circles to speak about men in ways that would never be tolerated if directed at women,” he adds.
...
Short of half-heartedly repeating “not all men” like brainwashed cyborgs, it’s hard to know where to turn to improve any of this. Clearly, there are very real problems at the heart of the modern dating landscape, which are feeding a culture whereby it’s become normal to deride men in this way. But at some point, surely we have to find a way to move past this way of thinking? “To combat this cultural trend, we have to model and promote vulnerability, curiosity, and compassion in dating,” says Baum.'

'Recent data suggests that around 40 percent of adults in the United States have obesity, which sets the stage for high blood pressure, various forms of cancer and some 200 other complications. Men have similar rates of obesity as women, but they are less likely to seek medical care, making up only about 20 percent of bariatric surgery patients and around 22 percent of people on anti-obesity drugs. If men do take GLP-1 medications, a recent study suggests that they are also more likely to stop using them.

It’s hard to parse exactly why this treatment gap exists, but it’s probably tied to the greater societal focus on women’s bodies, and men’s general tendency to delay seeking health care, especially when it comes to weight. The consequences, however, can be severe, since obesity tends to be more deadly in men than women. And experts say that untreated obesity is one important contributor to the 5-year life expectancy gap between men and women.'

'Her research shows that the reason fewer men are enrolling in veterinary school boils down to one factor: the number of women in the classroom.

For every 1% increase in the proportion of women in the student body, 1.7 fewer men applied. One more woman applying was a greater deterrent than $1000 in extra tuition!
...
Since males had dominated these professions for centuries, you would think they would leave slowly, hesitantly or maybe linger at 40%, 35%, 30%, but that’s not what happens. Once the tipping point reaches majority female- the men flee. And boy do they flee!

It’s a slippery slope. When the number of women hits 60% the men who are there make a swift exit and other men stop joining.'

'Circumcision among newborn boys in the United States has steadily declined over the past decade, even as leading health organizations have voiced support for the procedure.

A new analysis from researchers at Johns Hopkins University of more than 1.5 million annual hospital records shows the share of newborn boys circumcised during their first month of life fell from 54.1% in 2012 to 49.3% in 2022.

This decline came after the World Health Organization (2007), the American Academy of Pediatrics (2012), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2018) each issued recommendations supporting access to newborn circumcision. These groups highlighted research linking the procedure with lower risks of urinary tract infections, penile inflammation, and transmission of sexually transmitted infections including HIV.'

'"One question I had is that you are now requiring applicants to be able to do a certain kind of pull-ups, which a lot of women cannot because of physiological differences. Are you requiring these kinds of pull-ups?" Hirono asked.

Patel didn’t budge.

"We are requiring everybody to pass the 1811 standards at BFTC. If you want to chase down a bad guy, excuse me, and put him in handcuffs, you had better be able to do a pull-up."

Hirono replied, "There are concerns about whether or not being able to do these kinds of harsh pull-ups is really required of FBI agents."

Patel interjected, "Doing one pull-up is not harsh, and there are always medical exemptions to that."'

The National Defense Authorization Act of 2026 (NDAA 2026) is making its way through Congress. House Rep. Jack Bergman of Michigan added an amendment to the bill that would require automatic registration of men ONLY.

Obviously this is ridiculous on several levels, one being that the rationale for keeping the draft male-only in previous court cases included the fact that the draft existed to fill out the ranks for combat roles. Since those decisions, policy has changed and women are now eligible for combat roles. Modern warfare is largely about being able to shoot a rifle (which any idiot can do, alas) and otherwise not $hitting one's pants when things start blowing up around you. That last has nothing to do with gender. Some men lose it under fire, some don't. Same goes for women. Why should guys have all the "fun"? We shouldn't.

'In the first two posts of this series, we traced Finland’s extraordinary journey: from confronting its suicide crisis head-on with unprecedented research, to building a nationwide prevention strategy that saved lives and changed culture. (plus an intro post)

By the mid-1990s, the results were visible. Suicide rates, which had climbed for decades, had finally begun to fall. Hunters were talking to their mates about mental health. Army officers were watching out for vulnerable conscripts. Teachers, clergy, and even journalists had taken on new roles in prevention.

But Finland didn’t stop there. They did something few governments ever do: they invited outsiders in to judge their work.'

'Middle and high school educator Christopher Pepper and coauthor Joanna Schroeder hope their new book, “Talk to Your Boys: 16 Conversations to Help Tweens and Teens Grow Into Confident, Caring Young Men,” will provide families with the tools to help.

I spoke with Pepper, who has helped coordinate Young Men’s Health Groups in San Francisco, to learn how parents can steer their sons through minefields like screen time and technology, pornography, consent, and alcohol and substance use. He has discovered that despite their awkward stereotype, teenage boys really do want a chance to connect.'

'As the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 80) convenes in New York, advocates are urging world leaders to confront a glaring omission in the global equality framework: the absence of any UN agency addressing the rights and needs of men and boys.

Halima Layeni, Executive Director of Life After Abuse Foundation (LAAF) (1), called for the creation of UN Men, the male counterpart to UN Women. “Each year, billions of dollars are directed toward programs for women and girls. Entire agencies exist to advance their progress,” she said. “Yet there is no UN Men. No dedicated institution, no agency, and no systematic recognition of the unique challenges faced by men and boys.” (2)(3)'

'State governments in Australia currently exhibit a sex bias in terms of housing offices or portfolios whose purpose is to advise legislators on policies related male or female wellbeing (see the links for each office for details on the various activities undertaken by these offices). However, only the Northern Territory has a portfolio focused on men’s wellbeing, and this portfolio is combined with the women’s portfolio in the Office of Gender Equity and Diversity. Thus, boys and men in Australia are not benefiting from this same level of state- or territory-level attention as girls and women. This bias is odd considering that life expectancy is four years shorter among Australian males than females, with part of this sex difference in life expectancy due to higher rates of homicide victimization and suicide among Australian males than females.'

'For the past several years, the media has been obsessed with incels. Scroll through the headlines and you’ll see the same story over and over: young men, alienated and angry, gathering in online spaces that are supposedly breeding grounds for misogyny and extremism. The word incel has become shorthand for “potential terrorist.”

But when you actually look at what incels say and do, a very different picture emerges. These are not young men plotting the downfall of society. They are young men drowning in despair. Their anger is almost always turned inward. The statistics are overwhelming: nearly 40% report daily suicidal thoughts. Large numbers are neurodivergent. Most have histories of bullying and rejection. The overwhelming danger for incels is not that they’ll kill someone else. It’s that they’ll kill themselves.'

'In the last post, we saw how Finland took an extraordinary first step: instead of shrugging at suicide rates, they studied every single case in the country for a full year. They learned who was dying, where, and why.

But research alone doesn’t save lives. The true test came next. Could Finland turn this knowledge into action?

In 1992, the government launched the National Suicide Prevention Project, a sweeping, nationwide effort that would run for five years. Its ambition was bold: to translate the research into targeted interventions across every layer of society — from army barracks to hunting cabins, from classrooms to church pulpits.

The official goal was clear: reduce suicides by 20% in ten years. But the real innovation lay in how Finland went about it.'

MANN wishes all fathers everywhere a happy Fathers Day. This day can be quite fraught for some fathers as they may recall lost custody battles and PAS thrown at them, as well as other pains. Let these things be a source of motivation for all of us to keep fighting for a just society for fathers and men generally.

Keep up the good fight, brothers!
