Half of the UK public believe that the gender pay gap will never close - "YouGov data suggests that people are over-estimating the extent of the discrepancies between men’s and women’s wages. When asked what they think the UK’s overall pay gap is currently the average answer was 40%, while just over a fifth (22%) believe it is over 50%. The actual figure reported by ONS in 2017 was 18.4%. The research also highlights the amount of misunderstanding that exists among the public around what the gender pay gap is. A sizable majority (71%) of the public choose the wrong definition – that the gender pay gap is “the difference in pay between men and women doing the same job”. This compares to just one in five (20%) that picked the correct answer – that it is “the difference between average earnings for men and women regardless of what job they do.” Ahead of companies publishing figures on the gap, our research shows that a majority (53%) say their perception of a company would get worse if it is shown to have a wide differences in how much they pay different genders"

A telling insight into feminism: it's about being mean to men and celebrating nasty women. So much for men being lucky women want equality, not revenge.
UK's first female chancellor scraps portraits of men from No 11 - "Rachel Reeves has said she is planning take down all the male-heavy paintings in her new official residence and replace them with artwork either made by or depicting women... A Conservative spokesperson described the move as ‘pathetic gesture politics’, adding: ‘I’m sure the 5.2million elderly women who are facing a choice between heating and eating this Christmas will be very impressed.’... the chancellor pledged to use her position to improve life for women by tackling issues like expensive childcare and the gender pay gap. She said: ‘It’s 54 years now since Barbara Castle introduced that legislation on equal pay and yet there is still a 14% gap between what men and women are paid... Prime Minister Keir Starmer had chosen to remove a portrait of his Tory predecessor Margaret Thatcher from a study after agreeing with his biographer that it was ‘a bit unsettling’... It’s unclear if the government plans to resolve the issue by transferring the Thatcher portrait to the chancellor’s residence."
Feminism is literally about erasing and replacing men. But if you criticise it, you're a misogynist who wants to erase women. Replacing right wing women is good though

A museum in Australia can bar men from the 'Ladies Lounge' exhibition, a regional top court says - "A museum in Australia was within its rights to bar men from a controversial art exhibit for women meant to underscore their exclusion from segments of the male-dominated society, a top regional court said on Friday. The development is the latest in the long-running saga of the “Ladies Lounge” exhibition that has provoked an uproar in the art world. Its curator, Kirsha Kaechele, admitted in June she had created all the art, including the paintings she had billed for years as works by Spanish master Pablo Picasso without anyone noticing they were fake... Associate Justice Shane Marshall wrote in his ruling Friday that the lower body was wrong when it decided the exhibition did not qualify for an exemption to gender discrimination laws. The exhibition was intended to promote equal opportunity for women — who suffer ongoing gender disadvantage — by excluding men, he said. When the museum first lost the suit, Kaechele relocated the paintings to a women’s restroom at the gallery — rather than allow male visitors to see the art... Friday’s ruling was a victory for Kaechele, who said in July that the purpose of the “Ladies Lounge” — open to all who identified as women — was to make men “feel as excluded as possible." Catherine Scott, a lawyer representing the museum, said the ruling Friday recognized that the “Ladies Lounge” challenged inequality by “providing a flipped universe where women experience advantage.”... Kaechele claimed the court's decision reflected what she holds as "a simple truth: women are better than men.”... When the appeal hearing opened last week, Kaechele repeated her performance from earlier, showing up at the Supreme Court in Tasmania's city of Hobart surrounded by dozens of women supporters in navy-colored suits and wearing bright red lipstick. The women danced out of the court in single file, some holding placards denouncing men. “Yes, the men, understandably, are a little grumpy about this,” Kaechele wrote on Instagram after Friday's ruling. “They may even appeal. (They do not appeal to me.)”... Detractors said that to knowingly display forgeries undermined a gallery's credibility and that Kaechele was making a joke at her women patrons' expense by passing off worthless trinkets as art."
Men just need to identify as women to get in, so
Weird. We keep being told that feminism is about equality and that if you support gender equality, you're a feminist
The weaker sex? Science that shows women are stronger than men - "physical strength can be defined in different ways. What I was yet to learn was that, beneath our skin, women bubble with a source of power that even science has yet to fully understand. We are better survivors than men. What’s more, we are born this way.
In the 00s I facetiously came out with a feminist argument for why women weren't physically weaker than men, but as usual, feminism has outdone itself
Unsurprisingly, this references that bogus Baranowski and Hecht paper which is used to claim that women are as likely as men to agree to casual sex in a safe environment (when it actually includes dating)
'Motherhood is a trap. Marriage is a bad deal': Feminist Corinne Maier on learning to be selfish - ""Happiness cannot be achieved without selfishness. But that is achievable for every woman. You too can be selfish"... Part feminist thesis, part self-help manual, the book denounces marriage and coupledom as “a bad deal”, motherhood as “a trap” and “traditional female qualities” such as empathy as a construct devised to enslave us. Luckily, salvation is at hand in the form of self-worship. All a woman has to do is follow the “ego-therapy” tutorials laid out in the book... back in 2016, Maier was awarded a spot on the coveted BBC 100 Women list... there are the chapters on husbands in #MeFirst!, the ones that point out how beneficial marriage is for men, and how detrimental it is for women on every level – right down to life expectancy. “Statistically,” she writes, “married women will die younger than unmarried women.” Which is true."

DV counselor deletes herself and kids by jumping off Niagra falls : r/MensRights - "Notice that medical researchers rush to explain the psychological and neurological factors behind women killing their infants. So many resources are being dumped into that line of research, and for what reason? I wish feminists talked about this instead of whining about male birth control for the tenth time. But when men kill their family, it is always attributed to the moral rot of men. The comparatively little research on family annihilators does not go into a deep sociological analysis, but just uses an a priori feminist assumption that men kill out of envy, greed, entitlement, etc. while women kill in self-defense and for liberty. Again, this is unsurprising as society generally ascribes negative qualities to men while ascribing positive qualities to women."
DV counselor deletes herself and kids by jumping off Niagra falls : r/MensRights - "If it was a man, the headline would be: “Father murders his children, commits suicide” I think there are so many implications to such biased reporting. It downplays the tragedy of children killed by mothers. This may make it easier for mothers to commit such acts, confident it won’t be reported by media as the murderous act it is. Downplaying female perpetrators not only misshapes public opinion of male vs female perpetration but can influence police bias, proper child custody, etc, the fitness of mothers etc."

Rolf Degen on X - "When there is no danger of being caught, women screw over men more than other women, while men do not favor any gender. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/19485506241285079 If you had the opportunity to cheat another person for personal gain- during a one-shot interaction with zero risk of detection, punishment, or reputational consequences- would it matter if the target was a male or a female? This registered report investigates the role of the target’s sex in selfish dishonest behavior. Informed by moral typecasting theory, we hypothesized individuals to be more dishonest toward male than female targets, and this effect will be stronger among male than female decision-makers. [Moral typecasting theory implies a tendency to perceive men as moral agents who are less vulnerable and less deserving of protection from harm than women] A total of 3,166 male and female participants from nine countries were incentivized to lie and increase their payoffs at the cost of another same-sex, opposite-sex, or unmentioned-sex participant with zero risks of detection, punishment, or reputational consequences. We did not find statistically significant evidence of female targets being cheated less than male targets overall. However, we found a significant interaction between the target and decision-maker, albeit a different nature than predicted. Whereas male decision-makers cheated male and female targets similarly, female decision-makers cheated female targets 53.6% less, echoing classical findings on how females are more favorable to other females than males to other males. One could speculate that this pattern of results suggests females may be more dishonest toward other males than females for personal monetary gain as an act of retaliation against existing economic gender disparities (e.g., gender pay gap) in society."
Damn patriarchy!
Thread by @_its_not_real_ on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Where Are Our Boys? They're not in Boy Scouts. [0] They're not playing football or sports in general. [1][2] They're leaving Greek life in college. [3] This applies to both genders but boys dropout rate surpasses girls. But, what if we found an org with increasing membership?
It would be an anomaly in this post-Bowling Alone world. Enter the National FFA Organization (formerly the Future Farmers of America). It boasts 1,027,273 members in 2024, an 8.6% from 2023. It is also primarily an rural youth, with 60% of members living in rural areas. [4] Until 1969 it was an organization for boys only when the gender requirement was removed at the national assembly. Until recently female participation was very low compared to male, for example, in 2006 girls were only 38% of the members. [5] The FFA is a bit of a unique organization. It usually involves both a class within the school and extra curricular activities, something in between a pure extracurricular like sports and a class like home economics. They raise animals, grow food, participate in live stock auctions, judge animals, and some do volunteer work. The standard uniform is somewhat formal with an FFA jacket.
The original inspiration for this story came from my parents. My mother is a principal at a rural school, over the elementary but it is a small school so she interacts with the high school principal a lot, all on the same campus. Recently their high school principal left so she was helping the superintendent with some of the high school stuff. She was complaining about the high school girls being mean in the FFA class to the teacher. The girls got into a physical fight and locked the teacher out of the classroom. She thinks the girls are trying to run him off. I asked what the boys thought and my dad said the majority of boys had quit. "Why?" I asked He thought they were tired of dealing with high school girl drama and wanted to avoid it, pointing at the fight as evidence. He further talks about animal dress up shows, making claims that there are now alternative live stock shows involving costume contests. I could not find any evidence of this being an official FFA sanctioned activity but seems like a growing trend that is adjacent to FFA participation. Some photographic examples. [6] [7] [8] Look at links [6] [7] [8], hardly any boys participating. Boys who are participating all look <16 yrs old to my elder eyes (could be wrong). Two of the links are from FFA related orgs/pages. So while not an official FFA event it is a clear shift in the FFA culture. I was surprised that boys were dropping out of FFA in a very conservative rural area. When I was in high school (2004-2008) FFA was not just male coded, it was redneck as hell. The boys there went hunting, muddin, and dippin (Skoal). It was dirty. It wasn't high status in any sense of the word. It wasn't looked down upon either, but it wasn't something you did unless you really really enjoyed that sort of thing. Was this a wider trend or a weird isolated event in the area I grew up? Were boys being squeezed out of another historically male space? Hard to find specific membership numbers every year, but in 2000 it had approx 450k members and by 2010 it had 509,735 members. [9] In 2017 the membership total was 669,989. [10] As recently as 2017 the FFA was still majority male at 54%. Female membership had jumped from 38% to 46% in 11 years. [10] In 2022 male membership no longer was a majority coming in at exactly 50%. [11] That same year the "FFA Strategic Plan" was rolled out. [13] The FFA Strategic Plan was an effort, "to seek and promote inclusion and diversity in its membership,leadership, and staff to reflect the belief of the FFA in the value of all human beings." This came after previous weaker diversity pushes, such, with press releases such as, "FFA Encourages Inclusion and Diversity in Agriculture" in 2019. [15] Or the use of the classic equity meme on Facebook. [16] Western Region Vice President Lyle Logemann made social media posts in July 2020 during BLM in the wake of George Floyd and was removed after student revolt. [14]
Then in 2023 male membership finally dropped below 50% to 48%. [12] At the same time Corey Flournoy was named National FFA Executive in Residence for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. [17] FFA adult staff are 61% female. [18] FFA also has student government. I started to go through and document the state level government for every state. This was too time consuming to manually compile. I managed (in alphabetical order) to make it through Georgia before I gave up. The trend was clear, out of the 217 offices I checked, 150 were held by female students, 69.12%. At the national government level it is 50% boys and 50% girls. [20] The candidate pool for the national offices were 23F/14M. [19] You can check my work on the state level student government by going to each website in alphabetical order and compiling the data. They're all listed here: Each website is different and I had to open them one at a time but I figured if the gender ratio of state level offices in Alabama 77% girls then it probably isn't going to change much in other states. So where are our boys? I don't know. I don't think they're okay. Dropping out of society, squeezed out of spaces traditional spaces, not going to college, they're even dropping out of the work force (63.9% 2003 -> 56.6% 2023 labor participation rate). [21] Where do we go from here? What are the recommendations? I have none. I don't know what to do except just talk about it and hope to generate some ideas. This all dovetails with demographic collapse."

Megha on X - "The way average women vote for and endorse communism tells me that women don’t actually want financial independence. Their communism is actually a way to act out the natural wife role with the government as the husband. They want to give everything up to the government as a wife would to a husband. They don’t want to have autonomy over their lives they want the government to. The crucial difference being that a real husband takes this power and uses it to protect and care for his wife. The government has no such allegiance to its harem. Further evidence is that women who already have a husband that they actually respect and love are not communists—they don’t need to act out this government as husband replacement. They want to give everything to him and obey him, not the government so they are “right wing”. Government is replacement husband for all leftist women and castrated men."
