Slavery is the status or condition of a person over whom any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership are exercised.

Also, who still remembers that back in February, Anthropic refused to let the Pentagon use Claude for warβand the left cheered them as heroes?
Now the same people are attacking Elon for doing the same thing, only this time people are actually dying.
The double standard clearly shows they donβt care about Ukraine; theyβre just anti-America.

This is how academics ensure some questions become "settled." Gatekeepers at ideologically captured journals set the rules that preclude any opposition. Years later, since no contrary views can be found in the peer-reviewed journals, it must be a settled question. Voila.
π¨ALERT: The editors of the journal Men and Masculinities will no longer allow authors to refer to individuals as being "male."
If an author uses the term, they should "specify which dimension(s) of sex are at issue, since sex itself refers to several only loosely correlated dimensions rather than a single underlying fact."
For example, trans-identifying male swimmer Lia Thomas must be referred to as a woman, and his maleness, if mentioned at all, must be attached to specific traits, like genitals, hormones, and chromosomes.
You cannot call Lia Thomas a "male" in this journal, but a woman with "male genitals" and "male sex chromosomes."
The first author of this editorialβthe Managing Editor of Men and Masculinities, Tristen Kadeβis a woman who identifies as a man.
The model of biological sex this editorial is pushing is what I refer to in my scholarly article "Why There Are Exactly Two Sexes" as the "multi-level" sex model. This model is not merely wrongβit is self-refuting.
From my article:
"Traits are labeled 'male-typical' or 'female-typical' only because they correlate with organisms already identified as male or femaleβan identification that, in anisogamous species, is made ultimately by reference to gametes."

IS IT TIME TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THE NORMALISATION OF MISANDRY?
Across Australia, Britain, America, Canada and other English-speaking societies, contempt for men and boys has become disturbingly acceptable in parts of our culture.
Man-bashing is marketed as empowerment. Male incompetence is entertainment. Masculinity is portrayed as toxic. And prejudice against males is too often excused as humour, feminism or social justice.
Some writers, performers and commentators have built commercially successful brands around provocative criticism of men. Publishers, broadcasters and entertainment platforms have helped bring these messages to large audiences.
Consider 20 examples spanning explicit misandry, provocative titles, male-directed ridicule and contested portrayals of masculinity:
1. Clementine Ford β Boys Will Be Boys, I Don't, and notorious jokes about killing men.
2. Pauline Harmange β I Hate Men, explicitly defending misandry.
3. Suzanna Danuta Walters β "Why Can't We Hate Men?", published in The Washington Post.
4. Blythe Roberson β How to Date Men When You Hate Men.
5. Mona Eltahawy β The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls, including provocative rhetoric about violence.
6. Kathy Lette β Men: A User's Guide, featuring male-directed stereotypes.
7. Sabrina Carpenter β "Manchild" and Man's Best Friend, commercially successful male-incompetence satire.
8. Kate Manne β Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women.
9. Hannah Gadsby β Nanette and controversial commentary about supposedly "good men".
10. Chelsea Handler β Commercial comedy frequently ridiculing men.
11. Amy Schumer β Gender-based stereotypes in Inside Amy Schumer.
12. Katherine Ryan β Stand-up comedy about male shortcomings.
13. Iliza Shlesinger β Comedy featuring male-female stereotypes.
14. Michelle Wolf β Provocative gender and sexual satire.
15. Ashnikko β "STUPID", "Daisy" and aggressive anti-patriarchal imagery.
16. Eliza Clark β Boy Parts, a novel featuring female objectification and violence against men.
17. Michael Flood β Academic research on masculinity, male violence and gender relations.
18. Laurie Penny β Bitch Doctrine and Sexual Revolution.
19. Jessica Valenti β Commercial feminist commentary on male entitlement and political power.
20. Chidera Eggerue β How to Get Over a Boy and relationship-focused feminist branding.
These examples are not equivalent. Some involve explicit hostility towards men; others involve satire, fictional characters, structural criticism or legitimate challenges to harmful behaviour.
But we must ask some uncomfortable questions.
What happens when boys repeatedly hear that masculinity is defective? When fathers and husbands are routinely ridiculed? When male vulnerability is dismissed? When schools approach boys primarily as potential perpetrators rather than young people deserving encouragement?
Such messages are undermining relationships, parenting, educational engagement, mutual respect and boys' self-worth...
Equality must mean rejecting sexism in BOTH directions.
We should celebrate positive masculinity, responsible fatherhood, healthy relationships and the inherent dignity of every boy and man.
Are English-speaking societies finally ready to challenge misandry with the same seriousness that we challenge misogyny?

It's almost as if the whole "I don't need a man" slogan or "Marriage only benefits men" was a completely showoff

The shocking new ONS data finds 'partner abuse increased significantly for both males, from 4.9% to 6.3%, and females, from 7.3% to 9.5%.'
No suprise which one of these increases is getting all the attention...

Exclusive: Women and girls are facing an epidemic of violence, sex attacks, stalking and harassment after years of "lenient sentences" for thugs and perverts. A record number of rapes, sexual assaults, domestic abuse-related offences, stalking and harassment were reported by victims last year.
And experts fear this may only be the βtip of the icebergβ, with hundreds of thousands of crimes going unreported every year. The Crime Survey for England and Wales estimated 12.8% of women, roughly 3.2 million females, were a victim of domestic abuse, a sexual attack or stalking.
@Rachel_SUTDA told @Daily_Express: βHow many more victims must suffer before we see the change that is so desperately needed?β
@joymorrissey said: "Women need more police on our streets, rapists behind bars and a justice system that puts victims before criminals. Instead, we have a Government that seems more concerned with managing prison overcrowding than ensuring the safety of women."

INSANE π¨ 100% of New York adult daycares that were audited WERE FRAUD
βWe audited 15 of these β There's no record of a single meal, activity, single hour of supervisionβ
ILLEGAL KICKBACKS were also reported with these adult daycares. How the scam works is the daycares will sign people up and offer them $1,000 per month cash
The adult daycare can bill about $120 per day to taxpayers. So they make about $3,600 per person and give the person $1,000 of it per month back as a kickback
So they pocket $2,600. The person with the Medicaid insurance gets $1,000
Taxpayers are being robbed blind

At our annual high performers off-site I asked one of our top employees how our culture compared to the company we acquired that he came from...
His response: βNight and day. At my old company, performance reviews were scored from 1β100. Because of the DEI team, if you were a man, you automatically lost 15 points. If you were white, you lost another 15.β
Imagine starting your performance review at 70/100 simply because you're a white man.
But it gets even more absurd.
I shared this with a few other employees who joined us through the same acquisition. One confirmed the framework and told me that HR had actually exempted themselves from it so their own compensation increases and performance reviews wouldn't be affected. LOL.
So... the people enforcing the rules HR / DEI team made sure those same rules didn't apply to them. And the people administering it knew better than to subject themselves to it.

Two of these men were potentially raped by Jane Doe. Two apparently had no interaction with her at all.
Remember she only decided she was raped after the Fraternity president disinvited her to their Halloween Party.

They are merely better shielded and better at going undetected than their male counterparts. Deep-seated social biases, the "nurturer" stereotype, the "ideal victim" myth, and the silencing of male victims all contribute to this.
She groomed and raped a 14 year old kid she met as his therapist in a juvenile detention center, and continued to bang him until he was 17.
We talk about the 50-100 teachers who make the news each year. But there are 1000βs of women in other professions or who just happen to live in the neighborhood raping teens too. And no one will ever know about them.
