Claire Hope from Vancouver has just turned 18. Her mother is a real-estate agent, her father a lawyer. Last week, Claire reportedly made more than $1 million in less than three hours, after announcing the launch of her OnlyFans “bday special” on Instagram with a picture of herself sticking her middle fingers up at the camera. She wears a cropped t-shirt embroidered with the phrase “porn star in training”, promising “all content shot at 12.01am on my 18th birthday”. Claire first became famous as a sweary child rapper on YouTube, performing under the name Lil Tay. It is this persona,...

Your Spouse Started Antidepressants and Became a StrangerI don’t know who this person is anymore,” James told me, his voice cracking as he described his wife of fifteen years. “She started Zoloft eight months ago for some mild anxiety about work. Now she’s rewritten our entire history together. According to her new narrative, I’ve been emotionally abusive for years. She’s filed for divorce, moved in with some guy she met at a yoga retreat, and told our kids that daddy was never really there for them.”He paused, searching for words. “The strangest part? She seems completely unbothered by destroying our...

A dating safety app that allows women to do background checks on men and anonymously share "red flag" behaviour has been hacked, exposing thousands of members' images, posts and comments. Tea Dating Advice, a US-based women-only app with 1.6 million users, said there had been "unauthorised access" to 72,000 images submitted by women. Some included images of women holding photo identification for verification purposes, which Tea's own privacy policy promises are "deleted immediately" after authentication. Tea said the breach affected members who signed up before February 2024. Tea lets women check whether potential partners are married or registered sex offenders...

And how to bring them back. In a recent New York Times article titled, “Men, Where Have You Gone? Please Come Back,” Rachel Drucker laments what she calls “a collective shift” in men, a “slow vanishing of presence.” So many single men, she writes, aren’t “sitting across from someone on a Saturday night, trying to connect.” Instead, they “have retreated from intimacy, hiding behind firewalls, filters and curated personas, dabbling and scrolling.” She adds, “We miss you.”Ms. Drucker – a single, 54-year-old Chicagoan – hints that pornography is at least partly to blame for this state of affairs. She mentions...

Progressive politics may promise empowerment, but for many liberal women, the result appears to be rising misery and isolation. A growing body of data points to a clear trend: liberal women are statistically the most dissatisfied and mentally unwell demographic in the country, and experts say it may have more to do with worldview than circumstance. According to a 2024 survey from the Institute for Family Studies (IFS), just 12% of liberal women aged 18-40 report being “completely satisfied” with their lives. In contrast, 37% of conservative women in the same age group report full satisfaction, a difference that speaks...

"setting women back." That’s just the excuse they’re throwing around because they don’t want to admit the truth. They’re mad because she’s young, hot, White, and blonde. And they're mad that corporations are finally waking up to the truth: that the American people are done with woke! If she were 300 pounds and identified as gender-fluid, she’d be hailed as a revolutionary. If she threw her pronouns into every interview, wore a "FEMINIST" crop top to the red carpet, and spouted progressive talking points on cue, they’d be tripping over themselves to give her a GLAAD Award. But because Sydney...

When American Eagle launched its fall campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney with the cheeky tagline “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,” the expected outrage frenzy was immediate. In the ad, the 27-year-old actress says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.” It’s a pun, a play on the words genes and jeans, as even the Los Angeles Times acknowledged. Critics accused the spot of echoing eugenic or white supremacist rhetoric because Sweeney is blonde, blue-eyed, and framed as genetically “blue.” Some even labeled it “Nazi propaganda."...

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...

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...

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...

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...

‘Tis the season for weddings, and chances are the next several weeks will find many of us sitting in a lovely venue, decked in our best, watching a man and a woman pledge themselves to one another for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health.The good news is that more of these sweet couples may remain true to their vows. Statistics from the Census Bureau show that U.S. divorce rates have dropped from 10.0 in 2008 to 7.0 in 2022. Although that drop could be caused by other factors (such as increased cohabitation rates), it...

Kid Rock has blamed America's declining birth rate on 'ugly' and 'deranged' Trump-hating liberal women. The musician, 54, made the outlandish claim Thursday night during an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters. Watters shared footage of a group of liberal protesters and opened a discussion to criticize their appearances. 'When you play your concerts, do you ever see anybody with blue hair, armpit hair– female armpit hair? Some of these people we're looking at, Kid, I don't know,' he said. The Bawitdaba hitmaker, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, issued his shocking response, suggesting the alleged lack of...

Once upon a time, it was fairly common for highly educated men in the United States to marry less-educated women. But beginning in the mid-20th century, as more women started to attend college, marriages seemed to move in a more egalitarian direction, at least in one respect: A greater number of men and women started partnering up with their educational equals. That trend, however, appears to have stalled and even reversed in recent years. Gaps in educational experience among heterosexual couples are growing again. And this time? It’s women who are “marrying down.”

VIDEOLet this video be your warning to NEVER go on a computer date because even if she turns out to good looking, there is an excellent chance you will end up with someone who has gone Full Mental Jacket. Oh, and avoid blind dates as well. Those almost never work out. Ol' PJ once knew a woman who looked like Sophia Loren who set me up on a blind date with her sister. I figured the sister must also give off the same Sophia Loren vibes so imagine my SHOCK when the door opened to my blind date who looked...

Ambitious Democrats are increasingly jumping into a universe of podcasts and internet shows they once shunned: right-leaning ones geared toward men. Why it matters: President Trump won the majority of male voters last November — and made huge gains among those under 30, a group Joe Biden had won in 2020. Now Democrats are scrambling to counter Trump's version of masculine appeal. ...

Witchcraft has been feared, mocked and romanticized — but rarely has it been fully understood as a story of feminist resistance and enduring cultural power. Feminist studies scholar Jane Ward has set out to change that narrative. Her latest book — a collaboration with co-author Soma Chaudhuri — introduces “feminist witch studies,” a new interdisciplinary field that explores the power, persecution and political dimensions of witchcraft across cultures. Ward, a professor at UC Santa Barbara, first engaged with the subject while preparing a course on the history of witches and witchcraft. Known for her work in sexuality and gender studies...

Let me start by telling all the white women who are about to read this post that they can yell at me via joe.kinsey@outkick.com. Really let me have it. Now, let's get into this startling data as to what's happening with American white women who step foot on college campuses and then stay on those campuses for multiple years and then leave with a degree. In a major shocker, it turns out a staggering number of those white women have an overwhelmingly positive view of Ukraine's welfare recipient President Zelensky & corporate DEI initiatives. As OutKick founder Clay Travis put...

A recent NBC News poll seeking voters’ opinions of Donald Trump, JD Vance, Elon Musk, DOGE, the Republican Party, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, DEI and the Democratic Party is revealing a growing polarization within the ranks of white voters. NBC national political correspondent Steve Kornacki says the fault line is growing fastest between the demographics of upscale white women with college degrees and blue collar white men with no college degree. Kornacki reports that it’s not just a difference of opinion but the equivalent of two demographics who are living in polar opposite political and cultural universes. Steve Kornacki @SteveKornacki White non-college...

A study reveals that bacterial vaginosis (BV), a condition affecting nearly a third of women worldwide and causing infertility, premature births and newborn deaths, is in fact a sexually transmitted infection (STI), paving the way for a revolution in how it is treated. The standard practice of treating BV as an imbalance (disruption) to the vaginal microbiome means that more than 50% of women get it back within three months after the standard week-long treatment of an oral antibiotic. In their trial of 164 couples with BV in monogamous relationships, they found that treating BV as an STI, with both...
