Sydney Sweeney slams 'fake' female empowerment in Hollywood: 'None of it is happening' - "Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has candidly slammed female empowerment in Hollywood as "fake," claiming it doesn't exist. The music and film industry tends to support such movements publicly across social media and in some productions themselves. However, the 27-year-old actress implied it was all a facade. Sweeney called the "women empowering other women" a "front," calling it "very disheartening to see women tear other women down". In an interview with Vanity Fair, she added: "Especially when women who are successful in other avenues of their industry see younger talent working really hard – hoping to achieve whatever dreams that they may have – and then trying to bash and discredit any work that they’ve done." "This entire industry, all people say is 'Women empowering other women.' None of it’s happening. All of it is fake and a front for all the other s*** that they say behind everyone’s back," Sweeney told the publication."

Its use of the "hydrosexual perspective challenges settler science by exploring the connections between the reproductive system of brine shrimp and the economy, ecology and culture." Its analysis "draws inspiration from low trophic theory and Queer Death Studies" to "gradually alter white humans' perceptions and understandings of brine shrimp."

hoe_math on X - "All of the great evils of our time (woke, feminism, communism, mass migration, gender fuckery) are based on selectively removing the freedom to exclude.
"It is OK for some groups to exclude, but not for others."
Does that sound familiar? Let me refresh your memory:
"My money is my money. His money is our money."
"What's mine is mine; what's yours is ours."
That is what Mattie Watkins unwittingly says to men over and over in this long, complex disaster of a thread of quotes within quotes. Mattie asks what exclusive spaces men lost. When she is informed, she finds cheap excuses to justify denying that exclusion was ever the rightful choice of the men who created these things. They were just playing keep-away the whole time! With their spaces! That they made! She then compares them with exclusive spaces that women lost, like sports teams and locker rooms. She asserts women's right to exclude, but denies it to men. This is nothing but a classic case of "can dish it out; can't take it."
I am in favor of the freedom to exclude. If you are not free to exclude whoever you wish from your presence - as an individual or as a group or a business or a religion, whatever, really - then you are not free and you are being wronged. I rent an apartment. My name is on the lease. I am free to exclude others from living in it. Same with my car. Only I say who drives it. You have a body. You are free to exclude others from touching it. If you start a sport league, you should be free to say who cannot be in it. If someone else is telling you who to include, you are being wronged. If the women don't want to share a locker room with males and are forced to, they are being wronged. Americans used to have a country. We are no longer free to exclude those we do not want to be here. We are being wronged. This country was never intended to be for just whoever.
The remaining implications of the selective removal of the freedom to exclude should be obvious.
Men used to exclude women from many parts of life. Business. Government. Military. Golf. Social clubs. Feminism has decided that this freedom to exclude is unfair. Men must be forced to allow women to participate in these things. Now, I'll grant that this makes a good deal of sense in government. Women cannot just go make their own government. The government affects them, and they should be giving input. This doesn't necessarily mean that Congress should be half women, but that's a point for a different day. But if a man starts a business and doesn't want to hire women... why is that choice yours to take away? Why is it so with clubs, sports, religions?
The military has always been just men. If women want to participate, why don't they make their own military? Like the WNBA but for the Marines? Why, again, must men yield their right to exclude, when you do not want to do the same? Where else can you recognize this double standard? Every stand-up comedian in the 1990s had the same joke about "why is there a Black Entertainment Television channel, but no white one?" Why indeed? There are black countries, asian countries, muslim countries... but no country can be called 'white' or 'christian!' That would be bigoted! There are black-only colleges, women's schools, scholarships for more or less every imaginable group except for straight, white, or male.
Mattie, I'm gonna go ahead and guess that you never had a problem with any of that... until it began to affect woman-only spaces. Is that about right? So when what's ours became yours, that was a good thing, but when what's yours became theirs... Do you not see that your own monster has turned on you? "What's mine is mine; what's yours is ours." Sounds good from one direction only, right? Welcome to the party, Mattie!"

New research on female video game characters uncovers a surprising twist - "female participants—despite generally disliking highly sexualized characters—were more likely to choose these characters when given the option to play as one... when a character combined high sexualization with high strength, participants perceived her as even more sexualized than characters with high sexualization alone. This outcome indicates that strength cues do not counteract the effects of sexualization; rather, they may amplify it. This pattern aligns with the “fighting fuck-toy” theory, which suggests that strength paired with sex appeal can reinforce objectifying impressions, heightening perceptions of the character as a sexualized object. The researchers also found that high sexualization was a key factor in perceptions of femininity and character likability. Characters with high sexualization were viewed as more traditionally feminine, yet they were also less liked, particularly by female participants. Strength cues, by contrast, did not independently influence likability, suggesting that the perception of likability may be more influenced by sexualization cues than by physical strength. Interesting gender-based differences emerged in character preferences. Female participants generally disliked highly sexualized characters but were more likely to choose characters with high femininity traits (typically associated with higher sexualization cues) when given a choice. Male participants, on the other hand, gravitated toward characters that were strong yet less sexualized, indicating different gender-based preferences in the interpretation of character traits... "I was surprised to see that in our first study women still selected the most sexualized character when asked which character they would choose to play. It’s important to remember that this character was also rated as the most feminine, so it’s possible that women were just selecting the character they most identified with.” “However, this finding highlight why this research is so important,” Lynch continued. “If women are conflating sexual appeal with femininity, then can they disassociate those two concepts? And, if entertainment media like video games continue to portray female characters by emphasizing sex appeal, how does that shape expectations of women and women’s value in society?”... Female participants viewed high-strength characters as more competent compared to low-strength characters, while this difference was not significant among male participants... The study, “Examining How Sex Appeal Cues and Strength Cues Influence Impressions of Female Video Game Characters,” was authored by Teresa Lynch, Annie Dooley, and Matthew R. Erxleben."
Once again, what women say they want, what women think they want, and what women really want aren't always the same.
Clearly it's time to blame patriarchy, aka men, because women only have agency when it pushes the left wing agenda, and to rag on men for sexualising video game characters, even though they choose them.
Obviously games have a responsibility to socialise players into having the Correct Opinions and Preferences. Giving people what they want is bad when it obstructs the left wing agenda
Meme - "AITAH For not getting on an elevator with only a woman on it?"
"I have been living in my apartment complex for a few years now and I usually take the elevator when I leave for work during the weekday, most of the time it's just me in it. About two weeks ago, I was about to go into the elevator when I saw a woman, about my age, in it and nobody else. My mom always told me what to do so I don't make women uncomfortable; don't walk behind them on the sidewalk and cross the street, don't approach if they seem to be alone, be aware of their body language, etc. One of these was to never enter an elevator if there is only a woman on it. Seeing as it was just her, I turned to take the stairs. It's only like an extra minute or two of my time, and I usually get to work about ten minutes early anyway. For the rest of the week, when I went to work, it was just her in the elevator, so I just took the stairs. I didn't run into her over the weekend. On Monday the same thing happens, only she is in the elevator and I take the stairs. After that, I just kept to the stairs and stopped trying the elevator. Saturday comes around, and I was leaving for my friends place. When I left the building, the woman and I guess her friend were going in. We didn't exchange words and just walked past each other. I didn't get back until today when I ran into her friend again, and she stopped me. She tells me that I was a dick for making her friend feel bad and that I should apologize. I ask what I did wrong, she says that I was making her feel self- conscious and it was messing with her self-esteem. I told her that I didn't know what she was talking about, and she just started calling me insecure to grow up before walking away. Did I miss something that I'm not aware of?"

Fewer women could be sent to prison as Justice Secretary announces reforms - "The Justice Secretary has announced moves to send fewer women to prison, as she warned jail time “forces” many of them into a “life of crime”. Shabana Mahmood said a new women’s justice board will be tasked with reducing the number of women going into prison, with the “ultimate ambition” of having fewer women’s prisons. She added a new strategy will examine early intervention to resolve cases before they go to court, “viable” community alternatives to prison and ways to address concerns over self-harm."... “Self-harm in women’s prisons is eight times higher than the male estates. “Perhaps worst of all, women’s prisons are hurting mothers and they are breaking homes.” Ms Mahmood said more than 50% of women in jail are mothers, adding: “The damage passes down generations, with three-quarters of children leaving a family home when their mother is sent to jail.”... “For women, prison isn’t working. Rather than encouraging rehabilitation, prison forces women into a life of crime.”"
Feminism is about gender equality, which is why we cannot send women to prison
Weird. I thought the left were very keen on "equity". Turns out "equity" is only important when it benefits "minorities"
Feminists demand that men take an equal role in family life, yet they want to exempt women from prison because of the impact on family life. Ironic
Apparently prison doesn't "force" men into a life of crime

Australia gives its men a slap in the face for International Men's Day. Thanks mate. : r/MensRights - "Its International Men's Day in Australia (Nov 19 2024), and as usual, there is a resounding indifference in the government, media, schools and universities, to the issues experienced by men and boys, and the aspirational theme of "Positive Male Role Models". An internet search for Australia showed very few mentions of IMD. I found two. One, in South Australia advertised an International Men's Day dinner organised by the Honourabl Sarah Game MLC (member of the South Australian Legislative Council), to celebrate men and boys and the theme of positive male role models. The dinner was sold out early. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/international-mens-day-tickets-918350640487 The other, from a privately run Melbourne "what's on" web page, which reported no events for IMD, and got the IMD theme wrong. Melbourne thinks the IMD theme is "asking men to be better.. better towards women!", instructing men to "think about yourself, and then think about your mates. Ask yourself, can I do better?" https://www.onlymelbourne.com.au/international-mens-day Hoping IMD and positive male role models is celebtrated with more enthusiasm and less gender hatred in your local areas.

Melissa Chen on X - "A major component of the angst that characterizes much of the modern dynamics between men and women today comes down to the fact that women have demanded equal rights but also wish for preferred treatment. So what do we have now? We have something called: “Schrödinger’s Feminist” Where a woman is simultaneously a victim and empowered Until something happens and she collapses into one of either states, whichever is politically expedient for her current circumstance. This is simply untenable, and there will be a conservative backlash."

A traffic researcher in Germany has called for men to be allowed to obtain a driver’s license only after the age of 26. : r/MensRights - "Wow, the discrimination against men is getting crazier every day. In Germany, a traffic researcher has called to raise the minimum age for obtaining a driver’s license to 26, but only for men. The researcher made headlines with this, and I have seen women on social media actually advocating for it. The researcher justified this demand by pointing out that young men, on average, cause more major accidents than women and are more likely to exceed the speed limit. Just imagine if the roles were reversed how loud the feminists would scream. I’ll link one of the articles about it, but beware it’s in German."
"Men also clock more kilometers than women. Some 46 percent of German male drivers drive between 12,000 to 30,000 kilometers (7,460 to 18,640 miles) a year while 60 percent of women drive less than 12,000 kilometers a year. From this article So half of the male drivers drive between 12-30k kilometers while not even 40% of women drive MORE than 12k kilometers I bet that if you compare the accidents per kilometer driven men and women come about the same"

Breaking the Science: 71% of Children Killed by One Parent are Killed by Their Mothers; 60% of Victims are Boys - "The DHHS data shows that of children abused by one parent between 2001 and 2006, 70.6% were abused by their mothers, whereas only 29.4% were abused by their fathers. And of children who died at the hands of one parent between 2001 and 2006, 70.8% were killed by their mothers, whereas only 29.2% were killed by their fathers. Furthermore, contrary to media portrayals that leave the viewer with the impression that only girls are ever harmed, boys constituted fully 60% of child fatalities. (Table 4-3, p. 71, Child Maltreatment 2006, http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/pubs/cm06/cm06.pdf, reports that 675 boys died in 2006 as compared to 454 girls). The pervasive media bias cannot help but influence judges. Thus the newspapers, TV shows, and movies that promote this bias must bear a significant part of the responsibility for child abuse and deaths of children at the hands of violent mothers."

Male survivors 'ignored' as their abuse is classified as 'violence against women' - "Male survivors of abuse say they feel "ignored" by the Westminster government because crimes against them are being classified as "violence against women and girls". For the last 15 years, successive governments have grouped male victims of domestic abuse, rape, stalking and so-called honour-based violence into the same category as female victims, and charities are calling for change. "Male victims can often feel ignored, negated because we're not even listed and I just think there's something about how important it is to be recognised, to be seen," explained Duncan Craig OBE, founder of We Are Survivors... Recent research by the University of Central Lancashire found that 88% of male survivors believed the government does not care about them, 89% said the policy made it harder for them to get help and 90% were made to feel invisible."

Girls Are Losing Ground to Boys Now at School, Test Scores Show - WSJ - "Girls have lost ground in reading, math and science at a troubling rate, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of student test scores across the country. Since 2019, girls’ test scores have dropped sharply, often to the lowest point in decades. Boys’ scores have also fallen during that time, but the decline among girls has been more severe. Boys now consistently outperform girls in math, after being roughly even or slightly ahead in the years before 2020. Girls still tend to perform better in reading, but their scores have dropped closer to boys. The findings suggest that pandemic learning loss hit girls particularly hard in ways that haven’t been addressed by schools."

South Korean man who attacked ‘feminist’ shop worker over short hair jailed for 3 years | South China Morning Post - "A man who assaulted a convenience store worker in South Korea after suspecting she was a feminist due to her short hair has been sentenced to three years in jail, amid anger from activists who denounced the verdict for failing to recognise the case as a hate crime... the intoxicated defendant reportedly told the woman employee: “Since you have short hair, you must be a feminist. I’m a male chauvinist, and I think feminists deserve to be assaulted.” He later punched and kicked her, resulting in multiple injuries, including hearing loss. The accused also used a chair to hit the shopper who attempted to intervene, causing grievous injuries to his shoulder and nose, the court heard. The prosecution had sought a five-year jail term, but the court said psychological evaluation of the man showed he was in an unstable mental state at the time of the incident... “It is regrettable that the court did not see the incident as a hate crime. … If an act of targeting someone out of hate, just because they belong to a specific group, is not considered a hate crime, then what is?” a coalition of women’s rights groups said in a statement on Tuesday following the ruling... This is the latest in a string of misogynistic cases involving women with short, cropped hair in South Korea.
