The latest “issue du jour” is the “manosphere,” observes Josh Kaplan at The Free Press, with much worry “over the impact that online creators with extreme misogynistic views are having on young men…
Under fire Nancy Guthrie sheriff takes more trips to the gym in his convertible than work visits — as case grinds to a halt, with much worry “over the impact that online creators with extreme misogynistic views are having on young men.
” But are they being “seriously and irrevocably damaged”? You’ll find “scant evidence” that the “bigoted and toxic” views of Andrew Tate etc. are actually “having a serious, long-term impact on the way young men behave in the real world.” Notably, unlike “other forms of bigotry,” the “misogynistic rhetoric of the manosphere” doesn’t correlate with increased “misogynistic violence”; indeed, sexual-assault rates have “halved in the U.S. over the last 20 years.” Without excusing “bigotry or violent ideas,” try allowing boys “the space to come to their own conclusions.”Gen. Eric Smith, now the Marine Corps commandant, “probably will go down in history as the second-worst commandant in recent times,” with his immediate predecessor, Gen. David Berger, retaining the “dubious distinction” of worst,. Berger “enthusiastically embraced the Biden administration’s ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ policies and created an extensive infrastructure to implement them”; Smith, as his No. 2, Smith “enthusiastically” helped. When President Trump took office, Smith “frantically began dismantling the Corps’ DEI establishment” — but also lied, claiming the Corps hadbought into DEI. “I fully expected him to be fired,” given the “damage” he and Berger did to the “Marine Corps’ combat readiness,” but he has survived, albeit sidelined after a heart attack. Perhaps it’s better he serve as “a bad example than no example at all.”“If you’re looking for a metaphor for the decline of Western civilization, you could do worse than the news that Winston Churchill, who was often likened to a bulldog or a lion, may soon be replaced in Britain’s public esteem by an actual squirrel,”as the UK government opts to replace people on its currency with “wildlife.” Meanwhile, in Northern England, a guide booklet instructs teachers not to ask students to “reproduce images of Jesus, the prophet Mohammed” or other key Islamic figures to avoiding offending Muslims. And a “Muslim-protecting” plumber “became the first Green Party candidate to win a parliamentary by-election.” At what point “does Britain stop being counted as the West?”Despite Tim Walz’s flop in the 2024 election, some of the Democratic “candidates running in key midterm states have quite Walz-ian profiles,”. Some hope Senate candidates James Talarico and Graham Platner “embody a ‘new way’ for Democrats hoping to win difficult races” by “cracking the code to winning conservative-leaning rural and working-class voters.” Yet both simply dismiss “cultural issues,” and their support is “concentrated in urban and coastal enclaves” that are “culturally distant from much of rural America.” To gain seats in the Senate and “compete” in the Electoral College, Democrats must “expand their tent to include people who hold more culturally conservative positions.”. But the American Psychological Association is “attempting a ‘split the difference’ communications strategy”: It walks back its “unambiguous support for pediatric medical interventions” when speaking to a journalist, but “refers to ‘affirming care’ interventions as ‘evidence-based’” when speaking to an activist. This “fence-straddling behavior reflects the uncomfortable position in which the APA finds itself”: “Caught between the desire to placate its own activist members and the need to address” concerns of government and policymakers. It’s a “cynical” strategy of “trying to say different things to different audiences” and hoping no one notices.Mamdani's NYC 'school safety' scheme is just another cash grab Desperate Hochul begs wealthy New Yorkers to come back — as Mamdani pressures her to hike their taxesColorado school secretary admitted to sex with boy, 13, multiple times — and now she's on the run: cops Stream It Or Skip It: 'Imperfect Women' On Apple TV, Where A Murder Unearths Secrets Among A Group Of Longtime Friends
