Support For University Professor Being Investigated For Controversial Domestic Violence Take

Article here. Excerpt:

'Will she or won’t she? Questions are swirling around whether a professor in Australia will get canned for her comments about domestic violence or not.

Dr. Fiona Girkin is an associate lecturer in Policing and Emergency Management at the University of Tasmania. Her job is to teach new Tasmania Police recruits about family and domestic violence.

Recently, she appeared in a video interview with controversial conservative media figure, Bettina Arndt. In the interview, Girkin talked about how, in listening to the officers she has worked with, there were just as many female offenders in domestic violence cases as there were male.'

Men’s Health Month

Article here. Excerpt:

'There is often a strong focus on men’s physical health — fitness, annual checkups, and heart health — but mental well-being is equally as important because mental health is health!

Just as the body needs care and attention, so does emotional and mental well-being. Yet, there is a silent crisis in men’s mental health — one that too often goes unnoticed or unspoken. Tragically, men are nearly four times more likely to die by suicide than women*, underscoring the urgent need to break this silence and seek support.'

Joy Behar: Dems Should Spend Money on ‘Teaching Men to Not Be Such Sexists’

Article here. Excerpt:

'Friday on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Joy Behar said Democrats should stop trying to connect with men through language and instead teach them not to be sexist.

Behar said, “So, since Trump scored big with young male voters last election, Democrats are spending $20 million to learn how to speak their language. You heard it, 20 million bucks just to talk to boys. So, is this a good idea or a waste of money?”

Co-host Sara Haines said, “I think it’s the wrong way to go about the problem, because the Democrats are asking how do we get male voters? The disillusionment of men is how do we care better about our men and boys, it should be about how we solve the root problems that drove men to feel like they had nowhere to go.”

Toxic online content is poisoning boys’ minds — Congress must respond

Article here. Someone please tell him that that show is a work of fiction. And also, the first amendment to the US Con'n doesn't allow Congress to regulate speech. Excerpt:

'The boys are targeted for content designed to stir anxieties about their ability to attract a woman. And white males are specifically swamped with defeatist attitudes about their chances of getting into college while competing with increasing numbers of educated women, minorities and immigrants.

The result is alienated and frustrated adolescent white teens, as well as lots of young males of color.

The reality behind the show is evident for young Americans, according to a recent essay in the Wall Street Journal. A student at a Chicago Catholic high school wrote that his male classmates celebrated when social media titans accused of sex crimes and human trafficking – the brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate were recently allowed into the U.S.

The high cost of millennial divorce

Article here. Notice the POV the article is written with. I'll leave it to the reader to judge. I have a fix for women leaving their husbands then complaining that the judge isn't transferring enough of his money over to her: Don't marry in the first place! Simple enough. Excerpt:

'Jasmine Bloemhof was starting to build a career in publicity when she got married at 23. By the time she filed for divorce, a month shy of her 31st birthday, she was a stay-at-home mom with two toddlers and a nearly $50,000 student-debt balance hanging over her head. She had no savings to speak of.

Men in Feminism: The Wrong Conversation

Article here. Excerpt:

'Rather than offering new insights into how men might thrive, heal, or participate meaningfully in future gender discussions, the article reverts to a familiar script: men are framed as the problem, their psychological needs treated as secondary, and their involvement tolerated only when it's filtered through feminist ideology.

The piece positions feminism not as a framework for mutual transformation, but as a moral litmus test — one that men must pass by internalizing guilt, accepting blame, and proving themselves worthy through re-education. Instead of exploring what it means to be a man in today’s world or considering the genuine challenges boys and men face, the article doubles down on one-sided concern. Feminism, it declares, is a “nuanced and multifaceted movement that aims to improve the lives of women.” Really?'

Texas dad bangs drum for fathers' rights, calls for legislative change

Article here. Excerpt:

'After nearly 20 years marriage, a San Antonio-area man has found himself in a contested custody battle over their children. Now, he’s banging his drum outside of the Bexar County Courthouse and inside the Texas Capitol calling for justice for dad’s he believed are overlooked in custody cases – a claim not entirely backed by the Texas Family Code or by account of a local family law attorney.

Goerge Zachery married his ex-wife in March of 2004 in Bexar County, according to a marriage license on the county records website. Just over 18 years later, divorce paperwork was filed in Kendall County, about 30 miles north of San Antonio. Now, George Zachery is appealing to a higher court, looking to overturn a Boerne-area judge's rulings.'

Report: Democrats Set $20 Million Plan to Win Back Young Men

Article here. Excerpt:

'“Democratic donors and strategists have been gathering at luxury hotels to discuss how to win back working-class voters, commissioning new projects that can read like anthropological studies of people from faraway places,” national political correspondent Shane Goldmacher wrote.

The Democrats reportedly coded the plan SAM – Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan.

“The prospectus for one new $20 million effort, obtained by The Times, aims to reverse the erosion of Democratic support among young men, especially online,” wrote Goldmacher. “It is code-named SAM — short for ‘Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan’ — and promises investment to ‘study the syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces.’”'

Video shows Emmanuel Macron being pushed in face by wife

Article here. Excerpt:

'Brigitte Macron placed her hands on her husband's face as they prepared to exit their plane after touching down in Vietnam at the start of a South East Asia tour.

President Macron is seen taking a step back before he recovers and waves to the cameras at the bottom of the aircraft stairs.

The pair then walk down the steps together.

The Elysee initially denied the authenticity of images of the interaction before eventually verifying they were real, French media reported.

The clip has sparked suggestions of an argument between the pair but Mr Macron said afterwards it was a case of "simply joking with my wife as we often do".

Speaking to French media after landing in Hanoi he rubbished claims of a "domestic incident", instead telling broadcasters "it was nothing" and that people on social media were making "nonsense" out of the video.'

White men ‘in pit of worry’ over doing or saying wrong thing at work

Article here. From the UK. Interesting phenomenon. Personally I don't fret too much since I'm inclined to be focused on work while at work but I can definitely see how the more gregarious would find it troubling. Excerpt:

'Almost a quarter of white men say they are discriminated against for their race and gender, according to a poll, amid warnings it is pushing them towards influencers such as Andrew Tate.

Research commissioned for White Men Can’t Work!, a five-part podcast and YouTube series hosted by the documentary maker Tim Samuels, suggested that nearly half of white men in the UK are self-censoring at work because they fear that saying the wrong thing could cost them their jobs. Some 41 per cent say they feel anxious that they can be sacked for doing or saying the wrong thing.

Woman arrested for kidnapping and torture not being prosecuted

Article here. Excerpt:

'The brunette beauty arrested alongside Kentucky-based crypto investor John Woeltz for the alleged kidnap and torture of an Italian man in Manhattan is a small-time actor who claims to work as a marketing manager for luxury brands like Rolls-Royce and Bentley and whose family lives in Connecticut.

Beatrice Folchi – the 24-year-old who police sources said worked as Woeltz’s assistant – was arrested Friday at the SoHo penthouse where a man from Turin, Italy, told cops he was held hostage and brutally tortured for nearly three weeks, in a sick extortion attempt to gain the password to his cryptocurrency account.

She was charged with first-degree kidnapping and first-degree unlawful imprisonment, but the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute pending further investigation, a spokesperson said.'
