Do Men Face Prejudice?

Article here. Excerpt:

'In 2020, psychologist Aman Siddiqi completed a doctoral dissertation titled A Clinical Guide to Discussing Prejudice Against Men. It was submitted quietly, without media attention or controversy, and has remained largely invisible outside academic circles.

That is unfortunate — because it does something rare.

Rather than arguing politics or ideology, Siddiqi does something very simple and very professional: He takes the existing psychological science on prejudice and asks whether it applies to men.

Not rhetorically. Clinically.'

How Democrats Lost Men

Article here. Excerpt:

'Both viewpoints would be absurd to anyone in Kenema. Given the awful binary of political messaging in this country, it’s not surprising that many young men have drifted strongly rightward over the last decade. According to the Survey Center on American Life, only 38 percent of young men now identify as Democrats, a 13-point drop since 2016.

That has helped Donald Trump win two presidential elections and innumerable downballot contests. My father was a refugee from two wars, he opposed authoritarianism in all its forms, and he raised a son who would never cede this country to the forces he himself fled in 1940. So, let’s talk honestly about a healthy male role in society, because there’s a lot riding on this.'

UK: New adverts urge boys not to share sexist content online

Article here. Excerpt:

'The Scottish government has launched a new advertising campaign urging boys and young men not to share misogynistic content online.

The adverts warn boys that sexist content is "never harmless" and has the potential to hurt girls, including people they know.

They will run for five weeks from Monday across Instagram, Snapchat, Twitch and YouTube, as well as on outdoor advertising.

First Minister John Swinney said the rise of online misogyny was "deeply concerning" and that ministers would do "everything we can" to eradicate violence against women and girls.

Women experience harassment and rape in Scottish folk scene, says report
Police respond to domestic abuse call 'every eight minutes'
The campaign was developed with the charity White Ribbon Scotland - which attempts to engage men and boys in preventing violence against women and girls.

One of the video clips shows a boy sitting on a couch, watching a video on his phone of a character speaking into a podcaster-style microphone.

EEOC Sues Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast for Sex Discrimination

Article here. Excerpt:

'Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast, Inc., a producer, seller and distributor of Coca-Cola brand products throughout the Northeast United States, violated federal law when it excluded male employees from an employer-sponsored event, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.

According to the EEOC’s lawsuit, in September 2024, Bedford, N.H.-headquartered Coca-Cola Northeast held a two-day employer-sponsored trip and networking event at the Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort in Connecticut. Coca-Cola Northeast privately invited female employees and then excused the female employees who attended the event from their normal work duties on Sept. 10 and 11, 2024, and paid them their normal salary or wages without requiring them to use vacation or other paid time off. Coca-Cola Northeast did not invite any male employees to the event.'

Female Bullying and Psychosis Now Seen as a Global Epidemic

UK: Misogynistic men who commit crimes motivated by hatred of women to get tougher sentences under Labour plans

Article here. Excerpt:

'Men who commit crimes motivated by a hatred of women will get tougher sentences under plans brought forward by Labour.

Under new proposals, the Government will make attacks motivated by hatred of women 'aggravated offences', which carry sentences of up to two years in prison.

Non-aggravated common assault, by comparison, carries a maximum penalty of six months' imprisonment.

Those targeting people over their sexuality, gender identity or disability will face the same penalties.

In a letter detailing the amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill, Lords ministers wrote that the changes will 'ensure that tackling misogyny is part of the government's approach to tackling hate crime'.'

'Fellow at Ethic & Public Policy Center, scholar at The Institute for Human Ecology at CUA and the nationally best-selling author of the Theology of Home series, Carrie Gress argues that fifty years of radical feminism have had the opposite of the intended effect and have granted primacy of place to the traditionally male sphere of life, while simultaneously devaluing the typical attributes, virtues, and strengths of women.'

Gender studies courses are shutting down across the US. The Epstein files reveal why

Article here. Predictably, a feminist objects to WST being shut down. Bizarrely she links it to the controversial "Epstein files" release question. I'm always... impressed... at how feminists have this way of associating utterly unrelated things to their causes celebrés. Excerpt:

'Last week, we learned of the decision of the Texas A&M University board of regents to end women’s and gender studies programs as well as the teaching of “divisive concepts” such as race. A&M was not the first university to do this. Florida’s New College made the move in 2023. Other red state legislatures have passed similar requirements and their public universities (in North Carolina, Ohio and Kansas) have followed suit.

The move to cancel gender studies is explicitly justified as a way to comply with Donald Trump’s executive order of last year titled Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. That document makes “the biological reality of sex” a matter not of science but of law.

From the site at: https://registerher.com/:

'Nobody knows exactly how often false accusations of sexual crimes happen. The research is varied. Some data suggests between 2%-10%. Some estimates are much higher. Regardless of what percentage is correct, or the reasons it happens, we know that like rape, one false accusation against an innocent person is too many. The impact is devastating. Unfortunately, our system of criminal justice, our politicians and our media frequently fall short of treating the problem seriously. One woman actually made 15 false claims of rape before legal action was taken against her. She is by no means alone in getting a pass.

It is in the public interest to create and permanently maintain a spotlight on this problem and the devastating consequences for victims.'

When the Nursery Governs the Nation

Article here. Excerpt:

'When the rules of the nursery become the rules of the nation, compassion expands—but accountability weakens.

And when accountability weakens for long enough, even compassion becomes unsustainable.

The tension described in this story is not hypothetical. It is the central argument of David Shackleton’s remarkable new book, Matrisensus: Masculine Collapse and Feminine Shadow.

Shackleton argues that Western society is increasingly governed not by the logic of society, but by the logic of the family — and that this shift carries profound consequences for law, culture, and moral authority.'

Equimundo’s State of UK Men

Article here. Excerpt:

'Equimundo’s State of UK Men 2025 is a groundbreaking new study developed in partnership with Beyond Equality, offering a candid, evidence-based look at the emotional, economic, and cultural realities shaping the lives of men and boys across the UK today.

At a time when conversations about masculinity are often dominated by fear or blame, this study urges a shift: from panic to positive engagement. It highlights a generation of men who are navigating deep uncertainty – about identity, purpose, connection, and the future – but who are also seeking help, building community, and expanding what it means to be a man.

What the Report Shows:

The State of UK Men in 2025: 91 percent of men and women in the UK believe that being a friend is the number one defining trait of masculinity. Yet nearly two-thirds of men say they have to look out for themselves because no one else has their back.

Institutional Sexism: The Bias We're Not Allowed to See - Part Two

Article here. Excerpt:

'If institutional sexism exists anywhere in plain view, it is in the family courts.

Here, bias does not announce itself. It operates through procedure. Through precedent. Through “standard practice.” It hides inside the phrase best interest of the child while producing outcomes that are strikingly consistent.

When parents separate, the system does not start from a presumption of equal parenthood. It starts from a quieter premise: children remain with their mother unless a compelling reason forces another arrangement.

Fathers are not evaluated as co-equal parents. They are evaluated as exceptions.'

Study of 35,000 adults finds people care significantly less about men than women in the workplace and education

Article here. Excerpt:

'The Cappelen et al. study included 35,000 adults in the US, and found they tended to favour women over men. The study found a tendency for people to be more accepting of males falling behind in work performance, more likely to see it as men’s own fault, and less willing to let them be helped. In most of the research questions this bias was larger from women than men, and for some research questions the bias was smaller when coming from younger participants and from Republican Party voters.

My article will briefly describe and evaluate this study, and place the study’s findings in context of relevant literature on gamma bias, intergroup biases, the gender empathy gap and related phenomena which explain gender biases.'

Institutional Sexism: The Bias We’re Not Allowed to See

Article here. Excerpt:

'For half a century, the term institutional sexism has been used as a club — a way to shame or reform male-dominated systems accused of disadvantaging women. Universities built entire departments around it. Governments shaped funding priorities by it. The media repeated it like a moral mantra: if women lag anywhere, it must be because the system is rigged against them.

But what if we’ve been looking in the wrong direction?

The deeper irony is that institutional sexism is real — just not the way we’ve been taught to see it. Across education, mental health, family courts, criminal justice, and even public health, there are consistent, measurable biases that disadvantage men and boys. Yet these are ignored or rationalized away under a powerful cultural assumption: that sexism only flows one way.'

‘Gender Crazies’ Have Lost All Sense of Reality and Truth

Article here. Excerpt:

'Consistent with the Marxist view, feminists believe the world is organized according to patriarchal principles. But a cursory glance reveals that compared to women, men have shorter lifespans, are less likely to be enrolled in college, are targets of false allegations, are far more likely to be homeless, suffer workplace deaths far more often, and are depicted negatively by the media.

Indeed, there is no such thing as patriarchy. Patriarchy is a feminist fantasy.

Marriage and Family: Karl Marx insisted the family unit was oppressive to women. This belief stands in sharp contrast to an extensive body of research that shows married women:

  • Enjoy higher levels of happiness, life satisfaction, and lower rates of depression, compared to single, divorced, or cohabiting women.
  • Tend to have better overall health, including lower mortality rates and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
  • Have lower poverty rates, higher household incomes, and better access to benefits like spousal health insurance.'
