And 5% of the men were still sterile a year afterwards, with no one knowing if they would ever become fertile again. "One year after treatment, 94.8 per 100 men recovered their sperm concentration. Though this seems high, it certainly isn't ideal that around 5% of men would not have recovered within one year of stopping. Whether they would in the longer term is unclear." http://www.nhs.uk/news/2016/10October/Pages/Male-contraceptive-jab-effective-but-side-effects-are-common.aspx Infertility for …

I agree, as I'm sure most people do; it's both partners' responsibility to share the burden of any unwanted side-effects from contraceptives, if that's possible. But look at that article again. Now google the study and look at the tone of almost every single report covering the study. How would women react is the press generalised about them in such terms? How would feminists react? If the response isn't particularly constructive, that's why.

"Seriously, is all this invisible work?" Yes. And quite blatantly and deliberately so. "Other activities such as home repairs, mowing the lawn, and shoveling snow were not in the study. "Items such as gardening are usually viewed as more enjoyable; the focus here is on core housework," says Stafford." https://www.nsf.gov/discoveries/disc_summ.jsp?cntn_id=111458 I believe many people also cook and bake for a hobby.

Yeah, it's an interesting piece. Not sure I'd go with "intellectually superior" both because it's alienating and also because what's quoted of the study doesn't support it. The sisters of male twins seem to have better spatial awareness but they could also have, for instance, poorer verbal reasoning (on average). I agree it's interesting, partly just out of intellectual curiosity, but also because it underscores the fact that a lot of gender theory appears to be unscientific. Or, less charitably…

An interesting new study that adds to the debate on the extent to which sex characteristics are influenced by nature and by nurture. "TWIN brothers can leave quite an impression. The mere presence of a boy in the same womb as his sister causes her to develop bigger teeth than she otherwise would. Girls with twin brothers perform better on spatial-ability tests. They have better ball skills than most females; squarer, more masculine jaws and are more likely to be short-sighted. Now it seems that …

Is there any proof that Valenti was paid for this or even that she wrote the column on request? The excerpt isn't clear. It could be that she came on the idea herself and told the Clinton aide she was writing the column when the aide got in touch as part of a fishing trip. I would love this to be a smoking gun.

This is their second attempt. They failed first time, when they tried to establish a legal precedent using a test case.

They are trying to establish kangaroo courts in which, essentially, there is a presumption of guilt and which are either staffed by feminist ideologues or administrators frightened of those ideologues.

With disastrous results... for girls.

I couldn't see any mention of these being fatherless families in the article, so I had a quick check. From page 35 of the study: " There was a high share of families with three or more children amongst the primary carers who were interviewed for the survey, and a high proportion of lone parents (67 per cent, which is somewhat higher than the FMD figure of 48 per cent). The vast majority of the primary carers were women (92 per cent). " National Evaluation of the Troubled Families Programme, Octo…

Good news. It establishes a precedent that sexism and discrimination is not just one way. De Brunner sounds awful.

Agreed. She appears to have been coached into believing she was raped by the police and then pressured into co-operating with a prosecution. But that's not the point. If the defence hadn't been able to cross-examine her and bring in evidence that put her behaviour in context, then an innocent man would still be in prison. I'm sure she found it awful.

The real story here seems to be that a vulnerable young woman was railroaded into making a rape claim she had no intention of bringing, because police needed to hit targets. They coached her to believe she was raped. This then led to an innocent man being imprisoned for over two years, after being vilified by the press before and during his trial. This should scream that we have a problem with an ideological bias that's driving unsound and injust rape prosecutions, particularly when it comes on …

We saw feminists trying this in my part of the U.K last year. A feminist domestic violence "charity" circulated a "survey" asking parents if they were worried about gender roles and wanted more information in schools. There were no options to disagree. All the answers were coded variations on "agree" or "strongly agree". I objected as did a couple of other parents. We didn't get any reply. But so far we've heard no more from the organisation.

Watch Diana Davidson's videos on the Ghomeshi trial. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCVRQqUgDRBevsDGOeE1DL3A She makes a pretty convincing and well-researched case for there being lots of false testimony there; much of it in the early stages uncoordinated and independently motivated.

Trump is a disaster for men's rights. He will be used, if you'll forgive the pun, as a trump card to every criticism of feminism for the next 10 years or more. "How can you even claim that men are disadvantaged, in a world where Donald Trump can be the GOP presidential candidate?" Just as their claims were beginning to be scrutinised, they've been given the ideal diversion. And it's good for years to come.

Education in the West is set up to favour girls and promote the self esteem of girls. This it does, resulting in girls getting, on average, better marks.

It's good that the backlash against double-standards is starting to make its way into mainstream politics, though.

Agree entirely. Feminism needs to be opposed, because in the absence of opposition it has become more and more unreasonable and shameless. But if we conflate "feminism" and "women" and try to achieve negative outcomes for women, not only are we as bad as them but we're also doing the feminists' work for them. Anyway, I don't look at Janice Fiamengo or Karen Straughan and think, "I wish these women were back in the kitchen and didn't have a voice". Traditionalism is a crock of shit. We just need …

So if you do away with this, then it's even easier to destroy an academic's reputation and livelihood with an unsupported accusation? The use of NDAs, or alleged use, also means there is no evidence.

Obviously women don't need preferential treatment any more, and their collective star will just continue to rise, even once the state is no longer putting public money and legal muscle into helping them.

"None of the men have complained so far". Of course they haven't. They'll just leave, if they don't sue. Also, being successful in marketing relies on being able to accurately interpret data, build a successful strategy on the basis of that interpretation: and then keep repeating that. This company appears to have based its actions on a flawed interpretation of the wage gap and have then to have responded in a way that is not mathematically sound. Nice work.

A friend of mine once told me that his wife continually made him feel bad about her unpaid labour. Then he was injured, doing his very dangerous job, and had to spend some time at home...

It's completely unreasonable for a parent to punish a child for having different opinions. You could try calmly stating this, saying that you respect her intellectually and as a parent, and are more than happy to listen to her views, but that you don't think it's at all fair to be punished until you agree to have the 'right' opinions.

It's difficult to know what to say. The Guardian is no longer a newspaper in any meaningful sense. It is a campaigning organisation, with a content-marketing division to back its campaigns. Its stance is uncritically feminist, even when it's clear that this means sacrificing impartiality or the standards of good journalism. So this development, assuming it's portrayed accurately by the linked piece, isn't surprising. I'd love to do something about it, but I'm not sure what. I stopped giving The …

How long before he back tracks in response to the witch hunt that is doubtless brewing. A week?

Unsurprisingly, the one UK newspaper that doesn't seem to be reporting this at all is The Guardian. Odd, because there are important issues of public interest at stake.
