Hen Mazzig on X - "Congratulations to the so-called feminist organizations that excluded Israeli women from their march yesterday — the only women in the Middle East with the right to vote, the freedom to dress as they please, pursue careers, love whom they want, and marry on their own terms."
Boys lag behind: How teachers’ gender biases affect student achievement - "I use a combination of blind and non-blind test scores to show that middle school teachers favor girls in their evaluations. This favoritism, estimated as individual teacher effects, has long-term consequences: as measured by their national evaluations three years later, male students make less progress than their female counterparts. On the other hand, girls who benefit from gender bias in math are more likely to select a science track in high school. Without teachers’ bias in favor of girls, the gender gap in choosing a science track would be 12.5% larger in favor of boys."
Clearly, we need even more feminism to narrow the STEM gap
Jeff Younger on X - "Teachers grade boys lower for the same work as girls. The bias against boys results in an entire letter grade loss. Boys are held back from higher educational opportunities. Girls do not know that they receive unearned advancement. There are no programs to combat systemic anti-male bias in education."
Ayaan Hirsi Ali on X - "There are 85 sharia courts in Britain according to @GBNEWS. It is clear the British public did not vote for this parallel system of law that defies national law and national sovereignty. These courts we are told adjudicated family law: marriage, divorce, custody and inheritance.
- marriage is considered legal between a girl as soon as she menstruates. That can be as young as 9 years old.
- a man can divorce his wife verbally simply by stating I divorce you among the Sunni and in front of two male witnesses among the Shia.
- a woman inherits 50% of what her brother gets.
- honor violence, common in several Muslim communities is settled on terms that deny women the rights accorded to them in national law.
Feminists seem to have accepted this state of affairs. No wonder the rape gangs were able to get away with the systematic abuse of British children. Britain must abolish these courts and restore not just the authority of national law but also national dignity."
Sarah Fields on X - "🚨 Harry Sisson convinced 11 different women that 'he had no roster' and 'respected them for more than their bodies' while persuading them to send explicit photos of themselves through Snapchat, including one from a domestic abuse survivor.

A Request to the Reader - Set political differences to the side. I believe both sides of the aisle can agree that this is unacceptable behavior from a man-child with collectively over 2 million followers. Thread here 👇"
Alexander on X - "Harry Sisson now has more “receipts” than the entire red pill manosphere combined. You might imagine that an entire ecosystem of men who claim to be experts on women and seduction would have a dozen women emerging from the woodwork to accuse them of some kind of romantic tort. But basically no - somehow half of them are single and none of them have had any controversies like this. Then we see someone like Andrew Huberman or Harry Sisson pop up like: “He seduced a thousand women and now the women are mad at him.” It turns out it’s always someone entirely outside of the “sphere” of manosphere influencers. Democrat activist and supporter of Joe Biden Harry Sisson - “alpha male” per the red pill criteria of “man who women want to sleep with.”"
Another male feminist bites the dust
Allie Beth Stuckey on X - "Modern feminism is basically giving the worst kind of men exactly what they want but doing it in the name of girl power. Having as much emotionless sex as possible, killing their babies, cheering on men in girls’ sports, parading around nearly naked. Lol yeah!! That’ll show the patriarchy who’s in charge!"
Half of women have been dumped for this reason — toxic masculinity is alive and well - "Nearly half of women (44%) believe they’ve been broken up with because of their feminist views. You know, the movement fighting for equal rights and opportunities to our male counterparts? Yeah, that one. According to the global study by dating app Flirtini, 62% of women also believe that being a feminist has made it more difficult to find a partner."
Of course, if a woman dumps a man because he's not a feminist, the man is in the wrong
Join me in my echo chamber! More from the Guilty Feminist - "the comedian Deborah Frances-White achieved a rare and unenviable distinction. The podcast she hosts, The Guilty Feminist, was cited in an employment tribunal, and not very favourably. In 2021 Frances-White released an episode with the chief executive officer (at that time) of Edinburgh Rape Crisis, Mridul Wadhwa — a trans woman. In it, Wadhwa said that “bigoted” service users who didn’t accept trans women as women would be invited to “reframe [their] trauma”. In other words, support was contingent on victims submitting to re-education. When a staff member who had listened to the episode queried this statement from her CEO, she was subjected to what the tribunal judgment called a “heresy hunt” and constructively dismissed. But on the podcast, Frances-White didn’t seem to be aware of how inflammatory Wadhwa’s comments were. Notably, in the ten years that The Guilty Feminist podcast has existed, Frances-White has never played host to a guest with openly gender-critical views. Why this conversation was happening on White’s podcast at all tells a story about politics in the last decade. The Guilty Feminist started in 2015 as a place for Frances-White to share lightweight material for women who liked the idea of the “feminist” label but weren’t sure about the detail. When Donald Trump arrived, though, Frances-White’s audience — and her self-perceived importance — ballooned. The Wadhwa episode was a perfect illustration of the left’s retreat into irrelevance and self-congratulation: never mind the rape victims and their inconvenient need for a female-only space, just carry on reciting the approved talking points. You could argue that in the 2010s progressives began behaving like a cult: obsessed with internal obedience, utterly dislocated from the outside world. Many people have made that observation about the left before now. What’s surprising about Six Conversations We’re Scared to Have is that Frances-White has joined them (she knows a thing or two about cults, having spent her adolescence in the Jehovah’s Witnesses). This book is her plea for progressives to rediscover critical thinking. “The important thing,” she writes, “is that we stop and smell the analysis.” Leave aside the maddening question of who “we” refers to here (Frances-White’s first problem with “conversation” is that she clearly struggles to imagine a reader who doesn’t think like her). She happens to be correct. I agree with her too when she writes: “If we are to make real change in our society, we need to have difficult, scary conversations.” It’s true that, to be politically effective, “we need to recognise when to change our own minds”. She’s right that cancel culture is real, and ultimately counterproductive: “When we normalise shaming and shunning for our own ends … it will be weaponised against us and those like us.” I agree with her, but I’m not sure that she agrees with herself. Because ultimately, Six Conversations We’re Scared to Have is a mealy-mouthed imitation of robust intellectual inquiry... The Conversation About Gender Nonconformity. Even that title tells you Frances-White has decided the issue in advance: this isn’t “The Conversation About Whether We Should Give Teenagers Sterilising Medication” or “The Conversation About Whether It’s a Good Idea to Put Male Rapists Who Say They’re Women into Women’s Prisons”. Public understanding has shifted since she made that unfortunate podcast in 2021. The Cass report into the NHS’s provision of gender identity services for children has come out, as have several alarming cases of male sex offenders abusing gender self-identification. Frances-White can no longer simply call the other side bigots and otherwise ignore them. But because she’s working backwards from her conclusion that “the cis feminist and trans communities must align”, pesky reality still has to be put in its place. So we are told that the Cass report has “raised concerns”, although conveniently those concerns are too extensive to be summarised by Frances-White. “A deep analysis would require its own chapter or perhaps book.” You’ll just have to take her on trust. Take a deep breath and revel in the distinctive scent of no analysis whatsoever. On prisons and self-identification, she goes for an audacious get-out. Forget which prisons we put trans women in: Frances-White wants us (whoever “we” are) to “challenge our assumption on the idea of prisons existing.” Those who “genuinely care” about women in prison should be “campaigning to ensure that almost all women (including trans women) never see the inside of a prison”... despite Frances-White’s ostensible profession, there are no discernible lols in this book, so maybe I just don’t understand comedy... Perhaps most embarrassingly, she claims that “it is difficult to find historical examples of public campaigns that target individuals or call for censorship from the left”. Which revises Stalin out of history in a way that Stalin himself could only admire. It’s clear that, for all her claims of a damascene conversion, Frances-White still believes that being on “the left” guarantees her moral superiority."

The dark side of the feminization of higher education - "In the modern world, which is suffering from an unprecedented decline in fertility rates, we should not dismiss the importance of star-crossed coupling across campuses in the West. Yet, today, the prospect of meeting a future spouse of the opposite sex among the quadrangles during a young person’s salad days is becoming vanishingly small, for the simple reason that the entire university project has become a new bastion for a single sex — females... What is abundantly clear is that men are steering clear of university programs, even in the traditionally masculine subject areas — and I don’t blame them. In conversation with my new chair in the department of chemical and physical sciences, Prof. Claudiu Gradinaru, I was told that even physics is now showing close to a 50-50 gender split. Women, thankfully, are no longer ashamed to split the atom. But let me venture a reason for this widespread masculine detoxification of our universities. The pervasive and now deeply entrenched culture of kindness, empathy and academic limp-wristedness, the same culture that has led to so many students receiving accommodations for any number of largely imagined mental ailments, is anathema to the young, testosterone-charged male psyche, governed as it is by genetically embedded tendencies for boundary-pushing and risk-taking. Men are simply fed up with the current state of higher education and are bootstrapping their own careers instead. They recognize that universities are, in the memorable words of philosopher Peter Boghossian, merely “ideology mills” that imprint a deranged set of values on young and impressionable minds, and they want nothing to do with it. Recently, an instructor friend of mine alerted me to a situation in which a young woman insisted she be assigned to an all-female project group. This is tantamount to a demand for the return of gender segregation in our universities. Motivated by a certain contrarian nature, he decided to bounce the request up to U of T’s commissars in charge of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), with the goal of soliciting a suitable ruling on the matter. The response from on high was to delegate down to the departmental level, putting the decision in the hands of Prof. Brail. Now, to be sure, she is a woman of fine moral virtue. This is the person who told me that “IMI has no ideological position,” a woman of self-declared Jewish heritage who irreproachably remained neutral and stood by as Jews on campus complained vehemently, to me personally and to the university at large, about pro-Palestinian fundraising efforts presided over in their classrooms by one of their professors — one Prof. Ann Armstrong. (Armstrong is now retired, and I won’t embarrass her by elaborating further. You can use your imagination.) With this in mind, I do not expect a prompt and clear-sighted resolution to this particular can of worms. It is, in fact, exactly the kind of Moebius strip dilemma that these six-figure-salary administrative types, proudly bedecked in their “white fragility” mindset, have long been dreading. What’s next: gay students demanding they team up exclusively with fellow same-sex attracted individuals? That’s not the kind of social “progressivism” I’m calling for here, because, well, it would be monstrously regressive. If all this nonsense demonstrates anything whatsoever, it’s that the dedicated ministrations of every one of the DEI clerics employed by my university are utterly failing to have the desired impact — assuming, of course, that the aim is to map society’s broader gender and cultural distributions onto the student body. If they were, the returning classes this year would be around 52 per cent male (men outnumber women in the 18-24 age bracket), and they patently are not. Hence, these people are utterly failing in their high-paid jobs and should be promptly dismissed. I’m sure they will be, once fresh, conservative-minded governmental pressures come to bear. Canada’s impending population collapse, augured by recent Statistics Canada data showing women reproducing at the rate of 1.26 children each on average — well below the global replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman — will take a generation or more to materialize, partially camouflaged by mass immigration under current government directives. One thing we absolutely can do right away is to start rehabilitating men’s access to a university education. Romantic partners typically seek out those with equivalent levels of education — what’s called socioeconomic homogamy. In the coming decades, we will face a situation in which many more young women hold a bachelor’s degree than men, meaning that a large number of them will be forced to compromise in the dating pool. And yet, university administrators sit by unperturbed and spout their empty DEI mantras. What rot. In truth, tertiary education is increasingly becoming a matriarchal enterprise run by women for women, in pursuit of retribution for the academic patriarchy of the past and, ultimately, to their own suicidal detriment"

Men Need Single-Sex Spaces, Too | National Review - "Starting in the 1990s, one all-male space after another fell to the twin demands of cultural “progress” and evolving and misinterpreted civil rights law. For example, the former spelled the death knell of the all-male Elks Club, a fixture of mid-century American life. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks went co-ed by vote in 1995 after a series of pressure campaigns and lawsuits. The following year, in 1996, the Supreme Court ruled that the Virginia Military Institute, an exclusively male military academy, had to admit women as a public institution following the majority of justices’ strict reading of the equal protection clause. As the late Justice Scalia wrote in dissent, “today [the Court] enshrines the notion that no substantial educational value is to be served by an all-men’s military academy.” Three years later, now-Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who has been outspoken on the need to keep girls’ spaces all-female, became the first woman to graduate from the Citadel Military College in South Carolina. Fast forward to today, and even the Boy Scouts are co-ed. And, of course, all of these changes in the 1990s were merely the capstone to a long retreat away from male-dominated spaces that used to include the workplace, most bars and clubs, gyms, and other public places. The exclusion of women from men’s clubs, schools, or academies has been viewed as archaic discrimination, perhaps based on some false notion of women’s inferiority. But the battle to keep men out of women’s sports should engender new and sympathetic questions about what we lost when we made it illegal in nearly all cases for men to gather only with other men in a formal organizational setting, and whether there was a better way to balance the interests of women and men while preserving those opportunities for men. It’s not a coincidence that the share of men who lack even a single close friend has shot up to 15 percent, a fivefold increase from 1990, and the problem is getting worse, with one in four men younger than 30 reporting they have no close friends at all. There has been a lot of focus and digital ink on the collapse of dating, but a corresponding and underappreciated collapse of friendship more generally, mostly same-sex friendship, has been going on since the early ’90s. And the very notion of the heroic male friendship, a fixture of literature for thousands of years, is now a “bromance” joke. Even Frodo and Sam in The Lord of the Rings are constantly characterized as gay by a culture that cannot take nonsexual male connections seriously. In our focus on the advancement of girls, we seem to have forgotten that boys are bombarded from a young age with cultural messaging that treats their masculinity as inherently dangerous, toxic, or backward-looking. Fraternity, in the older and literal sense of the word, is considered passé. Boys are hit with contradictory messages: women who enter their sports clubs and masculine spaces are supposed to be accepted simply as “one of the guys,” yet boys know that there is something wrong about taking advantage of their inherent physical advantages, for example, to best women in wrestling or basketball. They face jeers for “beating a girl” just as much as losing to one. Their sensitivities, desire for privacy, and dignity find few champions."

-further, if a man chooses to not parent, he's a deadbeat. A woman is modern, empowered, claiming her reproduction rights.
- there are fewer socially funded education and aid programs for men. Far fewer.
-there are almost no equal opportunity employment programs for men unless they have a secondary qualifying demographic such as race or immigration status.
-there are fewer scholarship opportunitiesfor men.
-there are only a handful of DV shelters for men, and fewer family shelters for men to escape with children.
-boys as young as 12 are excluded from federally funded women's aid shelters, sent to family or foster care.
-in the US and UK, a man can not charge a woman with rape.
-in the US, many colleges deny an accused man right to transparency and defense under Title IX. He's suspended upon accusation and expelled upon results of a typically closed hearing with unshared "evidence."
-men have to deal with daily social ostracized approaches; told to cross streets, not share elevators.
-if a man brings these points, he's shouted down by feminism for being the oppressor and told he either deserves it, or insulted."

Drone Disorientations: HOW “UNMANNED” WEAPONS QUEER THE EXPERIENCE OF KILLING IN WAR: International Feminist Journal of Politics: Vol 17, No 3 - "Killing with drones produces queer moments of disorientation. Drawing on queer phenomenology, I show how militarized masculinities function as spatiotemporal landmarks that give killing in war its “orientation” and make it morally intelligible. These bearings no longer make sense for drone warfare, which radically deviates from two of its main axes: the home–combat and distance–intimacy binaries. Through a narrative methodology, I show how descriptions of drone warfare are rife with symptoms of an unresolved disorientation, often expressed as gender anxiety over the failure of the distance–intimacy and home–combat axes to orient killing with drones. The resulting vertigo sparks a frenzy of reorientation attempts, but disorientation can lead in multiple and sometimes surprising directions – including, but not exclusively, more violent ones. With drones, the point is that none have yet been reliably secured, and I conclude by arguing that, in the midst of this confusion, it is important not to lose sight of the possibility of new paths, and the “hope of new directions.”"
