The problem for men isn't women or feminism. Instead, "The real crisis men face stems from worsening inequality, declining social mobility, and precarious masculinity, all of which create fertile ground for an epidemic of status anxiety."

Young Men Aren’t the Only Ones Struggling
Young men are struggling more than they used to. And that is *not* the same as a different claim: that young men are struggling more than young women. In a number of ways, young women are doing worse

The case of Gisèle Pelicot, who for more than a decade was violated by her husband and dozens of other men, should mark the end of the regime that puts on women the responsibility for avoiding assault.

MAGA Masculinity: These Clowns Are Übermenschen? Please.
Real men are unpretentious, honest, confident, intelligent, competent, brave, and calm. From Trump on down, these men aren’t close to that.

A care lens on men and violence prevention: One of its contributions is to highlight the breadth and depth of men’s and boys’ own subjection to violence.
Men and boys are disproportionately the victims of violence, typically at the hands of other men and boys.

🚨 Family courts are failing women and children. The evidence is undeniable.
New @RighttoEquality report finds 72.5% of judgments in domestic abuse cases contain judicial victim-blaming. 530 instances — mostly from judges. Mothers discredited, their trauma trivialised, rape myths repeated, abusers excused while their behaviour is minimised.
This isn’t “neutrality”. It’s institutional misogyny that puts kids at risk and re-traumatises survivors.
The report lands in Parliament TODAY.
Enough secrecy. Enough bias. Enough judges marking their own homework.
