'Imagine, for a moment, that Australia’s education system looked like this:

Less than one-in-five primary school teachers were female. By Year 9, girls were one and a half years behind boys in literacy. Every year, 12,000 more girls than boys failed to complete high school. And universities were dominated by men, with 64 per cent more male graduates than female graduates.

What would happen next?

Governments would convene urgent inquiries, and rewrite curricula. Media outlets would run front-page campaigns. Universities would launch targeted pathways, and develop new programs. Schools would redesign classrooms, and shift their culture. And society would mobilise, because we care deeply about our daughters.

But this isn’t a hypothetical. These outcomes exist today; only the sexes are reversed. It’s boys and young men who are falling behind.'

'“What do you think it is?” my doctor asked me on the phone. He was calling to reveal the sex of my baby, which expectant parents can find out these days via a blood test about 10 weeks into pregnancy.

Call it a mother’s intuition or a penchant for pessimism, but I already knew.

“A boy,” I replied stoically, resigned to my fate. I could feel it in my bones, or, more aptly, in my uterus.

And now science had confirmed it: The thing I had long feared was coming true.

'To no one’s surprise, this mass seething isn’t making the Gen Z sisterhood happy. The Left’s own in-house magazine, The New Statesman, has a cover story this week titled “Meet the angry young women: the new feminism reshaping Britain”. The mag’s poll found (once again) that “young women, aged between 18 and 30, are by far the most progressive demographic in the UK”. The writer, Emily Lawford, zipped up and down the land interrogating feminist influencers and hanging out in a trans-inclusive student women’s book group, a Unison “youth wing” ceilidh and… well, you get the gist.

'There is something deeply destabilizing about being falsely accused.

Not merely because of the accusation itself, but because of what false accusations reveal about human psychology, social fear, moral signaling, and the fragility of reputation.

Most people understand that false accusations can devastate an individual life. What we understand less clearly is what happens when accusation dynamics move beyond individuals and begin operating at the level of an entire sex.

To understand that larger cultural question, we first have to understand the psychology of false accusation itself.'

'But more than that, based on conversations I have had with more than 1000 young people in the last year – for the report I co-authored with Shuab Gamote, Inside the Mind of a 16-year-old, and more recently for the work I am doing on young people who are NEET, it has become clearer that something is going on here with boys that needs further research and investigation.

When you talk to boys, you realise quickly that there are multiple interlocking issues. For different boys they come together in different combinations: weak literacy, a dwindling sense of belonging, few strong role models, punitive discipline codes in school, online misogyny, lack of purpose, limited practical routes into adulthood and a culture that treats boys as a problem to be fixed, not as young people with strengths to build on.'

Must be seen to be believed.

Quotes:
Woman: "Do you own a house?"
Man: "Uh, yes, we have one at the village."
Woman: "So, I'll have to go and live in the village with you."
Man: "Having a house in the village is pretty good, isn't it?"
Woman: "Aren't a car and a house the basic requirements these days?"
Man: "Oh, so what are your requirements then?"
Woman: "I want a bride price of 288,000, five gold items, and a diamond ring, plus an Apple."
Man: "Apple? What Apple?"
Woman: "An Apple iPhone, of course."
Man: "But don't you already have one?"
Woman: "It's not the latest model. I want the 17 Pro Max."
Man: "Oh, is that not good enough?"
Woman: "Not good enough. That won't satisfy me."

'“All the threats that women face seem to be amplified by climate change,” she says now. “I think people get that, when resources are scarce, women might have less access, so, if there’s food scarcity, women and girls go hungry more than men and boys. Or if there’s a lack of resources in a family such that not all the children can go to school, it will be boys who get their education, and girls might be married off younger.” Bleaker still is the 2007 study she cites showing women were more likely than men to die in climate disasters. (In the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, for example, women were more likely to have drowned because they were less likely to have been taught to swim). That stark gender difference isn’t found in more egalitarian societies, she says, suggesting survival is linked to women’s status and role: if anything, one US study showed higher fatalities for men in a natural disaster, because they were more often the first responders.'

'The Trump Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is suing The New York Times for workplace discrimination. A current employee of the Times – you read that correctly – is working with administration lawyers on a suit charging that the paper is racist against white men and that racism is a matter of employment policy.

Totally illegal by the way and has been for decades. Elites would be shocked to learn that Civil Rights law is totally neutral and also applies to white men (and Christians!).

The craziest part is The New York Times has all but admitted to the crime already. In 2021, they publicly issued a “Call to Action” to hire and promote more “people of color” and “women.”

The suit is stunning if only for the fact that it recounts – quite concisely – how the paper publicly laid out its plan to violate the law.

'Feminism is about having equal rights. But having the same rights as a man doesn’t mean I have to date like one. Attraction isn’t political. It’s visceral. And nothing is going to make my vagina shrivel up faster than a man who hesitates or asks to go 50/50.

If you ask me out, I should feel hosted. Seamlessly. Whether you like me by the end of the meal or not. In fact, if you ask me out to dinner, I don’t even want to see the bill. Money is not a concept that I even want to acknowledge on a first date. It is big fat not my fucking business.

Early courtship shouldn’t feel like a business partnership. I’m not negotiating a marriage contract on date one.

Secure men aren’t threatened by this. They’re energised by it. If generosity feels like humiliation to you, we are not aligned, sir.'

'“Gender equality isn’t women versus men or a zero-sum game,” Ged Kearney says.

“It delivers better outcomes for everyone. It’s important that, as we engage with men and boys, we make that really clear.”

But as the assistant minister for the prevention of family violence sets off on a national listening tour with the special envoy for men’s health, Dan Repacholi, they are up against a pervasive and very different conception of how men and women relate, fostered by the loud voices of the manosphere and men’s rights activists.'

But what the activists want is not what Repacholi and Kearney are promoting.

Simon Copland, an expert in misogyny, extremism and male violence and an honorary fellow at the Australian National University, says those groups are tightly focused on the family courts and the idea that men are discriminated against.

They also consistently claim that women make false rape and domestic violence claims, he says.'

'All the leading men of yesterday learned it from women. Women are the veins of history, the blood supply of humanity. Great men of the future depend on today’s beat of a woman’s heart.

A person can make the case that being of value to the community comes through maternal lines. Women embody the worth of doing hard things, of risking, of caring for others without drama, or making it weird.
...
Every woman I know is a server, a survivor, a success. Women are the leaders we need because they are the people we need. We have effectively evolved women to lead us by depending on them as we do.

What does it take to make better humans today? It takes loving women. The eons spent rising above misogyny caused a Neuro Darwinism within women in our species. Neurological images reveal that women have evolved brain connections optimized for species survival. Misogyny made women better. Stronger. Resilient. Wiser. And over it.'

'In healthier spaces, boys are using social media to discuss topics they may struggle to talk about offline, including grief, mental health, relationships, and loneliness. Nagata says such interactions can reduce isolation and even help normalize emotional vulnerability.

But he says the same platforms can also amplify more harmful messages, especially because algorithms tend to reward provocative, divisive, or emotionally charged content.'

'Many have discussed the rapid decline in trust and esteem for institutions of higher education. Most settle on the fact that it is a problem of their own making. This is true: exorbitant prices, activism, suppression of speech, and discrimination in admissions. These are all problems created from within. So is the guiding ideology that views masculinity as toxic.

As Helen Andrews has pointed out, the damaging effects of wokeness coincide with the increased presence of women in institutional leadership. Universities were once factories of progress—not to be mistaken with progressive—led by innovative risk-takers. Today, they operate more as re-education camps designed to stamp out any hint of masculinity, labeling it as toxic. The feminization of higher education is an ideological takeover that has declared war on the characteristics of the “alpha male,” letting intellectual curiosity and excellence melt in the acid bath of cancel culture.'
