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.

Spent 6 hours on site... saw one white male friend group of four students I wonder how this happened, given the 14th Amendment and all....

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.”

Move over, private detectives — Lana Madison is the real-life honey trap taking cheating boyfriends down, one flirty emoji at a time. The influencer, 29, whose $150K online-funded curves turn heads, now cashes in by helping women catch cheating boyfriends. With 76,000 followers across social media, she’s become a go-to for girlfriends who want receipts. “They slide into my inbox and ask me to flirt with their boyfriend to find out if he’ll cheat,” the bombshell recently told Jam Press. “Spoiler alert — a lot of them will. I didn’t plan to become a real-life honey trap. But once a...

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...

If the first message you get from someone you matched with on a dating app leaves you speechless, hopefully it’s because you’re wowed by their good looks, witticisms, curious mind, and articulate nature. If that sounds painfully naive, welcome to the apps in modern dating culture. The daters Julie Nguyen works with are more likely to be floored by the laziness, spelling errors, and sheer audacity of the people on the other end. “It’s a numbers game, so it’s really easy to just be like, ‘OK, I’m going to say something really quick and really generic because I’m going to...

Kind of random but a glimpse of how things were done back in the day. House being built by American workers.

Under President Trump, some companies have been rolling back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, as the initiatives come under increased scrutiny. However, others have doubled down on their commitment, asserting that DEI programs are necessary to address historical inequities and foster a strong company culture. In April, Resume Builder surveyed 1,216 hiring managers about their company’s commitment to DEI. The survey found that while many hiring managers believe DEI benefits the workplace, some feel these initiatives should be reduced or eliminated entirely due to the challenges they present. Key findings: 61% of companies currently have a DEI program, 21%...

A Democrat took aim at Republicans and Fox News in an interview with Fox host Jesse Watters, arguing that his network’s own polling numbers showed that people are unhappy with Trump’s presidency. In a Monday evening appearance on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime, White Dudes for Harris founder Mike Nellis was asked if he still supported former Vice President Kamala Harris. Nellis replied, “Listen, I prefer Kamala Harris for president right now, and honestly, I think a lot of Americans agree with me.”

There is a growing trend of objectively beautiful women complaining about the lack of male attention while enjoying a night out with their friends. Never in history have I heard of women complaining that men weren’t paying enough attention to them. However, after several decades of demonizing men for their advances, it seems men have finally taken the hint and backed off. There’s a social media trend right now of women posting videos frustrated that men aren’t approaching them romantically. Instead of exploring the reasons behind this shift with curiosity and compassion, many of these posts have a blaming tone...

It was one of the most erotic things I ever heard. A man I know said he was reading all the novels of Jane Austen in one summer. At first, I figured he was pretending to like things that women like to seem simpatico, a feminist hustle. But no, this guy really wanted to read “Northanger Abbey.” Men are reading less. Women make up 80 percent of fiction sales. “Young men have regressed educationally, emotionally and culturally,” David J. Morris wrote in a Times essay titled “The Disappearance of Literary Men Should Worry Everyone.”

Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia has partnered with several democratic lawmakers to launch Bros for Repro.’ The group includes male lawmakers running in tight races who are committed to “amplifying the voices of men who champion reproductive rights and bodily autonomy—not just as allies, but as active leaders in the movement.” Specifically, they want to see a surge in Democratic voters so that once they win, they can pass a constitutional amendment to entrench abortion rights in the state. One of these ‘bros’ is Del. Joshua Cole, who told MSN: “I would just ask that we speak up, we show...

Like most red-blooded American boys, from the beginning of middle school on, I was very interested in girls. Indeed, I spent pretty much the entirety of my teenage years trying to figure out how to get girls. I never did find a formula, but I was forever looking. For the most part, my days were filled with sports of every type, from scuba diving to motocross to baseball, football, golf, karate, the gym, etc. But the entire time, all of that, and school, was set against a mental backdrop of how to get girls, how to get a date…and, umm…more....
