A person was in custody Tuesday after a woman was set on fire while riding a CTA Blue Line in Chicago's Loop the night before. The woman remained in the hospital late Tuesday afternoon. According to Chicago police, the 26-year-old woman got into a quarrel with a 45-year-old man while on a train at the Clark/Lake subway station around 9:25 p.m. Police said the fight escalated when the man poured a liquid on the woman and set her on fire. Sources said the liquid the man poured was gasoline. Police said the woman ran off the train and collapsed on...

A woman in her late thirties posts a simple complaint online: “Men can have kids into their seventies. I’ve only got a few years left. That’s so unfair.” Within hours, her mentions are a war zone. Some men sneer about “geriatric eggs.” Others write manifestos about feminism and hypergamy. A few women defend her, but the thread collapses into the same argument we’ve been having for decades. In Britain, a thirty-four-year-old woman recently sued her ex-boyfriend, claiming he had “stolen her childbearing years.” After ten years together, he ended the relationship without fulfilling his promises of marriage and children. Now,...

I despise the Groyper movement, but if you want to understand where Fuentes gets purchase with young men I will tell you how it happened by telling you about my experience at the orientation night when my son joined elementary school band: My 11 year old son son joined the elementary school band, and so I went to the parents orientation night which was held at a local high-school. As the night went on it became obvious to me why young men rage against the larger social system.

For most of human history, coupling up was not merely a norm; it was a necessity. Before reliable contraception, women could not control their fertility, and most were far too poor to raise children alone. Hence the centuries-old convention that, whereas a tragic play or saga ends in death, a happy one ends in marriage. So the speed with which the norm of marriage—indeed, of relationships of any sort—is being abandoned is startling. Throughout the rich world, singlehood is on the rise. Among Americans aged 25-34, the proportion living without a spouse or partner has doubled in five decades, to...

In an interview last weekend, Kamala Harris predicted that someday there would be a woman in the White House. She then hinted it might be her: “I am not done,” she said. To which America collectively sighed, “Please, for the love of God, don’t do this to us again!” I say this as someone who rode the Harris rollercoaster. I was skeptical at first, then briefly impressed when she didn’t implode in the summer of 2024. Ultimately, we received a brutal reminder of why President Trump is still the equivalent of a political wrecking ball. But this isn’t just about...

A research team has discovered that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a major omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil, directly relaxes smooth muscle in the male reproductive tract by blocking specific calcium channels. The findings may help explain DHA's broader health benefits and suggest potential new approaches to treating male infertility. The team studied how DHA affects the vas deferens, a muscle that propels sperm during ejaculation. Normally, the hormone noradrenaline causes this muscle to contract strongly. DHA was found to significantly reduce these contractions by inhibiting TRPC3/6 channels, which allow calcium ions to enter muscle cells and trigger tightening. Interestingly,...

The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that an athletic organization violated the state’s anti-discrimination law when it barred a transgender athlete from competing, culminating a six-year-long legal battle. Minnesota Supreme Court’s Chief Justice Natalie E. Hudson affirmed that a sport organization’s policy barring trans women from competing is “facially discriminatory and constitutes direct evidence of discrimination based on sexual orientation under the [Minnesota Human Rights Act’s] prohibition against discrimination in business and places of public accommodation.” The decision reversed a court of appeals ruling that had sowed doubt on whether the organization, USA Powerlifting, had made the decision to...

Data showing Generation Z men trending toward the GOP is sparking debate among Democrats over how to win back a key bloc of voters that could prove critical for the party ahead of 2026. A report from Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) released this week suggested that “Gen Z appears to be charting a different political course than Millennials” and noted that multiple indicators “point to substantial Republican gains among Gen Z.” In particular, the report noted that Democratic registration among young men had shrunk compared with that among young women. While some experts note that registration trends don’t take into...

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in US men, excluding skin cancer, and the second-leading cause of male cancer deaths, after lung cancer. One in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and about 3% of men will die from it. Early-stage prostate cancer often has no warning signs because the tumor is small and hasn’t spread — a PSA test can help detect potential problems before symptoms develop. September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Here’s what you should know about updates to screening guidelines, advances in treatment and the one diet that may help prevent it.

A recent Wall Street Journal report described a new legal development in the fight to protect unborn life: a number of fathers are filing lawsuits over abortions carried out without their knowledge or consent. The suits claim harm from the loss of their children and seek accountability from those who facilitated the abortions, including doctors, family members, and abortion pill distributors, the Journal reported Aug. 26. According to the outlet, many of these cases originate in Texas, where state law permits parents to sue for the wrongful death of an unborn child. Some lawsuits target out-of-state providers who mail abortion...

It turns out there is a certain breed of men who continue to cheat on their loved ones — and it has to do with either the type of job they have or the lack thereof. According to a new study conducted by the Institute for Family Studies in a blog post, men in high-power positions — like CEOs, surgeons and physicians — and those unemployed are more likely to cheat than their counterparts. Writer Wendy Wang studied occupational data from the General Social Survey (GSS) to conclude that 18% of men in these top positions have been unfaithful in...

The Democrat Party gets weirder every day. There was a time when most of the Democrats I knew were tradesmen, roughnecks, farmers, and union guys. They were tough dudes, often veterans, and told some of the bawdiest jokes I’ve ever heard. Now Democrats can’t define what a dude is; they want to wokify the military into some gaudy pageant for drag queens who fear guns; and they’ve replaced “politically incorrect” humor with stern lectures. No wonder American men are fleeing the Democrat Party like it’s a sexually transmitted disease. Speaking of STDs, one of the Democrat lectures that Americans are...

Making original films for young men isn’t that hard, but you have to quit pushing gay race communism and appeal to masculine virtue.Executives at Walt Disney Studios are reportedly pressing Hollywood creatives for movie ideas that will bring young men back to the theaters. According to Variety, Disney is hoping to get Gen Z men, which it defines as ages 13 to 28, interested in original films.“The sources say Disney has been seeking new IP and pitches such as splashy global adventures and treasure hunts, as well as seasonal fare like films for the Halloween corridor,” Variety reports. “The calls...

Well, if you needed more examples of the incompetence of The Walt Disney Company leadership, it just gave us yet another spectacular one. On Thursday, Variety reported that sources say that Disney Studios is actively soliciting ideas and pitches from creatives that it hopes will lead to new movies that appeal to younger men. Specifically, males aged 13-28. That's not a misprint; a movie studio is trying desperately to figure out stories and ideas that might appeal to teenage guys and young male adults.

Comedian Kathy Griffin revealed that she has downloaded the dating app Hinge in order to find herself a date, adding, “I have a lot of fear about men, the entire gender.” Griffin shared in a Monday Substack post that what “started out as a joke” between herself, singer Sia, and actress Nia Vardalos turned into her downloading the Hinge dating app and creating a profile. Why can’t I find a nice partner at a law firm or a semi-retired fireman?” the comedian asked

Clay Higgins, a Republican congressman, criticised the use of male cheerleaders, saying: “I don’t think the NFL actually wants conservatives to watch their football games. And I must say if that’s the NFL business model, they’re doing very, very well.”

In a clip of the “New Heights” show posted Wednesday morning, Swift made light of the one-way bad blood between herself and face-painting, jersey-wearing haters. “As we all know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast,” she said. “And we all know that if there’s one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it’s more of me.” Her appearance on the football-centric podcast was hyped by a screaming Jason Kelce, calling Swift “the most requested guest in the history of shows!” Swift, of course, has...
