'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.'

'A new paper by more than 20 scientists from 13 different countries has analysed existing research on climate change, global warming, and environmental collapse – and how they connect with what men do.

Published in Norma: International Journal for Masculinity Studies, the paper, titled ‘Men, masculinities and the planet at the end of (M)Anthropocene’, covers questions as diverse as climate denial in Canadian pipeline politics, environmental impacts of Chinese policies in the Pacific Ocean, pro-meat online influencers in Finland, and positive action by men activists in Africa, Latin America, the UK, and globally.'

'The UN, the grand institution of peace and equality, has a blind spot when it comes to half the world’s population. And no, it’s not the half that gets 16 dedicated days of recognition, including International Women’s Day, Girl Child Day, and even Rural Women’s Day. Boys and men, it appears, get the short end of the stick, or rather, no stick at all.

So we’ll start with the calendar. The UN proudly champions gender-specific days, with all spotlighting women and girls. That’s fantastic—empowering women is great. I’ve volunteered in areas of the world where girls and women are in dire need of support. But where’s the love for boys and men?

'Across the Western world, the public narrative on the topic of employment has for decades been dominated by a single, persistent claim: that women are paid less than men because of systemic disadvantage. In Australia, the repetition of that narrative is near-ritualistic. It shapes policy, media coverage, and institutional priorities, and it is treated less as a hypothesis to be tested than a moral truth to be affirmed.

Yet recent data tells a more complex story. Research from the e61 Institute shows that typical young Australian women now out-earn typical young men on an hourly basis by around 7–8 percent among those working full-time hours.

This isn’t a marginal or isolated finding. This “female wage premium” persists through the twenties and evens out only in the thirties. Over the past decade, young women have also experienced stronger wage growth relative to men of any age cohort. Female unemployment rates are lower than those for males. Similar patterns are emerging in major cities across the United States and the United Kingdom.

'The backlash was swift. Women I had been friends with for years, who were supporters of girls’ education and mentors in STEM programs, laughed in my face. Some in DC literally walked me out of meetings. “You’re internalizing the patriarchy,” a woman told me. Another accused me of “gaslighting survivors.” I realized then that the very institutions meant to empower women had become factories for grievance. We were radicalizing girls to view every setback as systemic oppression and every man as the enemy rather than building confidence.

'A Canadian university is advertising five research positions, but applicants must be a part of the LGBTQ+ community to apply.

Memorial University of Newfoundland posted five new Canada Research Chair (CRC) positions that are open to current employees of the liberal arts school, but there's a catch.

In order to be eligible to apply, the applicant has to be a member of an equity group, including the 2SLGBTQIA+ people, a woman, Indigenous, a racialized person, or a disabled, according to the job postings viewed by the Daily Mail.

The five-to-seven-year gig, which pays up to $200,000 CAD ($145,000 USD) annually, currently has positions open for a chair in computational biochemistry, a chair in AI-driven navigation for Arctic and harsh environments, and a chair in musculoskeletal health and genomic map of the Newfoundland, among others.

Previously, CRC roles, posted in 2022, did not carry the same requirements.

'A wealthy IT consultant accused of causing his wife to take her own life through a 'tsunami of abuse' has been acquitted after he argued she had been a fantasist who had set him up.

Christopher Trybus, 44, sobbed in the dock as he was cleared of the manslaughter of Tarryn Baird, 34, who was found hanged in the garage of the couple's five-bedroom house.

He has always vehemently denied that he was in any way responsible for her death.

Trybus was also cleared of controlling and coercive behaviour and two charges of rape following more than 40 hours of jury deliberation at Winchester Crown Court.

Tarryn killed herself on November 28, 2017, hours after she made a series of calls to mental health services and a day after she had attended her local police station - leading to almost a decade in which Trybus has been under investigation or on trial.'

'Last Christmas, one of our major suicide prevention groups had a call from a very distressed, suicidal man. The counsellor did his best to support him and arranged to keep in touch. But there was no answer to the counsellor’s follow up calls. Following their organisation’s duty of care rules, the counsellor made a call to NSW police, fearing the man was at imminent risk of harm.

The police reaction was shocking. “Is there a female partner who could be at risk? Is he likely to hurt her,” asked the police officer, whose immediate concern was not checking on the man in crisis but rather assessing the risk that the suicidal man could be violent.

Welcome to the latest triumph of feminist policy innovation:

A system that looks at the man standing on the edge of the abyss — the group dying by suicide at three times the rate of women — and decides the most urgent question to ask is not ‘How do we save you?’ but ‘Have you been hurting women?’

It is a policy of breathtaking intellectual dishonesty and moral inversion.'

'Daniel Floyd loves a long, droopy foreskin, but his own was cut off when he was a baby. Around his fourth birthday, he started having recurring nightmares of being strapped to a table with his limbs splayed out while a doctor or neighbor cut off his genitals, sometimes with garden shears. The dreams continued until middle school, which is when the feeling of the tip of his penis rubbing against his underwear started to drive him crazy. It was irritating and uncomfortable, and it filled him with rage.

'Recent studies and discussions have raised the alarm about female power. Pundits such as Helen Andrews, Cory Clark, and Bo Winegard (see my discussion and links here) have made the evidence-based case that women in general are not as committed as men in general to objective excellence and the pursuit of truth. Women overall prefer equity, inclusion, and compassion for victims.

When women are the majority in an organization, the values of the organization shift away from meritocracy and toward group consensus, the suppression of dissent, and protection of the vulnerable.

'In the video, the three women discuss the findings of a poll they carried out on Gen Z and their attitudes towards the opposite sex. The results of the poll certainly aren’t a surprise to me and won’t be to anyone who has been actually paying attention. But the women seem to be taken aback and surprised by the findings.

It turns out, drum roll…… young men don’t hate young women anywhere near as much as young women hate men. What a shock!

For me, the results are depressingly predictable. What was fascinating to me was listening to their response to it. Lot’s of “what could be going on here?” and “I don’t really understand why”…..

The lady conducting the interview keeps saying over and over “that’s interesting”. Interesting? It’s “interesting” that huge swathes of young women seem to inexplicably hate men? What could possibly be the reason for this?
