Michelle Obama says the ability to create life is the least significant function of a woman's reproductive system. She claims men can't truly understand what women endure because female biology has barely been studied. "The least of what it does is produce life."

ATLANTA – What's wrong with American men? This is what Democrats are asking after struggling with male voters in the 2024 presidential election. Fox News Digital got reactions from Americans near Atlanta about this and if they believe there's a real problem with the guys. Overall, most people interviewed found the plan to spend $20 million on studying American men laughable. "I think it's dumb," said Patrice from Atlanta. Miriam, also from Atlanta, said, "I think there's better places to put that money." "I think they're just going to flush our money down the toilet," said Miguel from Colorado. On...

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is being mocked mercilessly over a slew of bizarre social media posts that resurfaced as the Israel-Iran war broke out — including his musings about treating a woman right and even being “naughty&playful” as a school kid. The odd posts date back at least a decade and are in stark contrast to the anti-Israel and war rhetoric that now fills the social media feed of the 86-year-old leader and most senior cleric in the extremist Islamic Republic. In one from 2013, Khamenei recalled his awkward school days. “I went 2school w/a cloak since1st days;it...

While the radical left would like everyone to believe that men possess no inherent physical advantage when it comes to sports, that defies all reality, biology and common sense. If you need proof of that – although you shouldn't – take a look at what happened to the Switzerland Women's National Team on Wednesday. As part of their preparation for the upcoming Euro 2025 tournament, they faced Luzern's U15 boys' team in a friendly match. Yes, U15 stands for "under 15 years old," which means the boys' team comprises players 14 and younger. One might think that adult females –...

Background Adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccination on human menstrual cycle characteristics have been observed, but limited data are available on the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination status and birth rates. Objectives Therefore, we used nationwide data from the Czech Republic to examine rates of successful conceptions (SCs), that is, conceptions leading to live births 9 months later, for women who were either vaccinated or unvaccinated against COVID-19 before SC. Methods Summary monthly COVID-19 vaccination and birth data for women in the Czech Republic aged 18–39 years were retrieved for the period from January 2021 to December 2023. The numbers of SCs...

We have moved into an era where many men no longer seek women to impress other men or to connect across difference. They perform elsewhere. Alone. They’ve filtered us out. I recently experienced a flicker of possibility. With James. We met on Raya, the dating app. There was something mutual from the start — wordplay, emotional precision, a tone that felt attuned. It was brief, but it caught light. I remember saying to him, “Even fleeting connections matter, when they’re mutual and lit from the inside.” I meant it. There was just enough spark to wonder what might unfold. Enough...

In Iran, women are beaten, tortured, imprisoned, raped, and even killed under the lslamic regime simply for not wearing a hijab. Do you really think these are the good guys?

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. Recently we have had two contrasting phenomena. One is that President Donald Trump had issued an executive order suggesting or maybe threatening K-12 sports programs—and indeed, college and higher education as well—that if they allowed biological men to compete in women’s sports, then he was going to consider cutting off federal funds for that. The Daily Signal depends on the support of readers like you. Donate now But at the same time he did it, the number of transgendered women—that is biological men who have transitioned to supposedly women—has increased...

My daughters have gifted me a six month subscription for a popular dating site for Father's Day.My wife of 39 years (their mother) died over two years ago and I went through successful cancer treatment last year and in now in remission. I mentioned to my daughters that I might be open to meeting someone now given that the numerical odds are in my favor and my sweet wife waiting in heaven would want me to be happy for the next twenty years or so of my life.They are also going to introduce me to some of their contacts who...

Mark Brooks has a history of being politely ignored. “Ten years ago, there wasn’t really any recognition that men and boys had problems,” he says. “Now the environment has changed.” That change was signalled earlier this month by health secretary Wes Streeting, who declared there is a “crisis in masculinity”. “Society has been slow to wake up to the fact that a lot of men and boys are really struggling today,” he said. “The truth is it can be quite tough to be a young man in today’s society.” Streeting was speaking at the launch of The Centre for Policy...

Women are rising in western society in all spheres of life. In the picture above North Melbourne defender and co-vice captian Nicole "Flash" Bresnehan points her fellow players to move forward attacking the goal. If the rise in women means a rise in misandry, then men should be very very concerned. But if it means better sharing and caring, we will all be better off. And when it means that football is becoming more beautiful, more collaborative and more impassioned, then I love seeing the shared leadership of women like Flash.

Back in 1969, very close to the Year Zero of the modern "feminist" movement, an activist named Carol Hanisch penned an essay titled, "The Personal is Political," whose neo-communist, collectivist slogan was later weaponized by the former Lady Macbeth of Little Rock, now Dowager Empress of Chappaqua, Hillary Clinton. Although unfocused, unreadable, poorly argued, and couched (of course) in the language of "therapy," it served as the opening salvo of the anti-family, anti-"patriarchy" Left against postwar American society. Hanisch writes:The paper, “The Personal Is Political,” was originally published in Notes from the Second Year: Women’s Liberation in 1970 and was...

Female police officer suffers broken ankle and nose in Phoenix.

Intensive exercise- and sport changes the heart of an athlete. Research led by Amsterdam UMC shows that the hearts of female athletes have different characteristics than those of male athletes. Whereas a thickening in combination with a dilation of the heart muscle is characteristic in male top athletes, dilation of the heart chambers is mainly seen in female elite athletes. An important observation that can help doctors to better distinguish between normal sports-related changes and possible heart disease in female athletes. These results were published today in European Heart Journal Cardiovascular Imaging. Difference Between Men and Women Despite the growing...

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is facing backlash after saying that creating life is “the least” of what a woman’s reproductive system does. On the latest episode of the podcast “IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson,” the former first lady and her brother were joined by OB/GYN Dr. Sharon Malone, whose husband, Eric Holder, served as Attorney General under former President Barack Obama. During the discussion, the former first lady lamented that women’s reproductive health “has been reduced to the question of choice.” “I attempted to make the argument on the campaign trail this past election was that there’s...

The Department of Education (ED) under the Biden administration used an obscure hiring gimmick to bring in nearly 200 attorneys while pushing radical policies that faced persistent legal opposition. The Biden administration used the Schedule A hiring process, which provides an expedited path by bypassing the usual competitive process and negating the requirement that appointments be made based on merit. ED hired 193 attorneys from Jan. 20, 2021 through April 30, 2024 mostly staffing the department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), according to documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) and shared...

The MenstruAI app analyzes the image to detect even subtle changes in color intensity, translating them into readable health insights. Colour changes on the sanitary towel can be interpreted by eye or photographed with a smartphone and evaluated directly in the app. The prototype has a dot with a control dot on the test strip for each biomarker. Lucas Dosnon and Josef Kuster / ETH Zurich (AI-generated) ================================================================================= A new technology developed at ETH Zurich is transforming a long-overlooked source of medical data — menstrual blood — into a powerful health-monitoring tool. Dubbed MenstruAI, this innovative system integrates a non-electronic...

New statistics out of Germany reveal that foreign-born women, but specifically foreign-born Muslim women, are far more violent than native German men. The Remix News staff, which reported on the story, quipped that the revelation “blows up a common myth that has been perpetuated by the left for years”—that men are so violent, a bear is preferable company. (Again, never mind the fact that men, to their own detriment, have been protecting their women for essentially all of human history.) Here are the numbers for 2024: Out of 100,000 people, German men were suspects in violent offenses in 272 cases....

Is the president of France his wife's puppet? Is she like, maybe, a super-charged Jill Biden, commanding her commands from behind the scenes ... or else? Or is Emmanuel Macron in a spousal abuse situation, the way Kamala Harris appeared to be, given the reports out there about her hubby, Doug Emhoff, and the credible accusations of against him by a past girlfriend who said he hit her so hard she spun around. Brigitte Macron was caught on camera actually beating her husband: Brigitte Macron slaps her husband in the face, as he exits aircraft. The French President’s office branded...

President Donald Trump signed The TAKE IT DOWN Act into law. “Signing the TAKE IT DOWN Act into law is an historic moment for survivors of image-based sexual abuse: There’s finally a path for this abuse to be quickly removed from digital platforms,” Dr. Marcel van der Watt, President of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, said in a press release. He remarked that the legislation “passed unusually fast,” thanks to “bipartisan support in Congress and First Lady Melania Trump’s championship.” “Image-based sexual abuse is a horrific assault on a person, and that abuse becomes magnified on digital platforms,” van...
