New Feature to Highlight journalism on Mastodon

In my memory people considered them meh at best but I had some fun. I remember the DS version in particular being pretty dope.
Only around 3 percent of kindergarten teachers are men. We interviewed a dozen of them about the joys of the job and the challenges boys face today.
This is exactly the issue. The bar was set so low. He was barely able to put together a coherent response to the infanticide claims, which was something even the lowest of information voters know is a lie. He let Trump walk all over him on immigration even though Biden put together a "bipartisan" plan that was just a Republican wishlist. If Biden had articulated any of that we'd probably be having a different conversion.
We can get a lot better at "kinkeeping," fellas. Here's how it works.
Stopping out seems to be an industry term that refers to semi-quitting school with an intent to return.
This blog post considers reasons that men stopped out of community college, their likelihood of re-enrolling, and their attitudes about online learning.
What does harassment mean in this context?
Why tf would you associate with men who would punish you if you don't "live up to a masculine ideal"?
It's not like men are ever given an explicit choice. Very frequently this means older male relatives.
A recent study found that men who more strongly endorse traditional masculine norms experience higher stress and are less likely to seek mental health help, emphasizing the need to address gender-specific barriers and promote positive masculine traits.
My problem with this is these new qualities are just as likely to be used to build a toxic hierarchy. The problem seems to me to be not just the qualities themselves but the competitive nature that is more or less beaten into boys at a young age.
I think we're splitting hairs here. They don't want to because they feel like they can't do so without repurcussions.
This is absolutely true and I'm always surprised there isn't more acknowledgement in progressive women's circles. Simple polling shows that roughly a third of women hold all men to these standards but there are significantly more who exclusively apply it to potential partners (speaking from a very US-centric perspective).
The honest solution is that women who think this way are simply not good partners, and should be avoided to whatever degree is possible.
Well it's entirely dependent on their social circle, right? They're the ones who would or would not enforce these norms.
Why men feel like they can't abandon Masculinity
This discussion was inspired by discussion on this post.
> Toxic man: oh guess I am just gunna keep doing what I am doing if you aren’t going to tell me what to do.
The reason this comes up is that masculinity is largely based around externally conferred social status. You have to constantly be doing something to maintain an image of masculinity. Often this means some sort of social or physical violence in the right time or place (beat up the mugger to defend your partner, call out your boss when you're being treated unfairly, put rival men in their place). Just as frequently, however, it is the expectation of a certain amount of self sacrifice (paying for meals, military service).
What they don't understand is how anyone can expect them to maintain their social status when they are avoiding this role that they have been explicitly shown that there will be consequences if they fail to meet. The answer is simple: once you're out of the masculinity rat race, you're out. By refusing to take part in the hierarchy of dominance you will eventually be subject to a more general and, frankly, human set of standards.
The only problem is that all of these pressures are external in the first place and this whole dynamic creates strong social gender boundaries. It is very easy for a lot of men to look at their social circles and see exclusively people who punish them for a failure to live up to a masculine ideal.
This is by design and most people fell for it entirely. Even the second highest content in this thread is carrying water for big oil.
I think you've hit the nail on the head here.

Men Need a New Narrative. The Future of U.S. Democracy Depends on It
Regressive ideas about manhood underlie the anti-democracy movement plaguing the U.S. Men need feminist models of masculinity.
A growing chorus of advocates is helping paint a picture of the ways in which having empathy for the struggles of boys and men is not separate from the feminist project, but essential to it
Many boys struggle with loneliness, violence, and poor academic standing. Parents and educators are finding ways to help them cultivate emotional connections.
Believing the myths that the Harrison Butkers and the Andrew Tates are selling allows boys and men to feel like heroes, even as they're hurting the women on whose backs they stand.
I dunno if 'Siri but functional' is good enough to get points from me. That said this is definitely good for the industry
By casting doubt on a related but fundamentally different bit of medical tech? Yeah that's what we need: more folks questioning medicine based on pop science understandings of the technology.
I mean the biggest innovation here isn't the "AI" (partially "on-device" or otherwise). It's exposing the apps action hooks to the model.
This isn't actually innovative it is just not OpenAIs business model. This recent trend is honestly a much smaller blip than most people recognize.
How an Israeli raid freed 4 hostages and killed scores of Palestinians in Gaza
They arrived in the middle of the day, when the squat concrete buildings of the Nuseirat refugee camp are stifling and the narrow streets outside are filled with people.
Recent research shows that parents exhibit stronger neural responses to their own children, especially sons, violating gender norms compared to unknown children. This heightened reactivity is more pronounced among parents with traditional views on gender roles.
The Motherhood Penalty vs. the Fatherhood Bonus
A study finds that having a child helps your career, if you are a man. For women, it does the opposite.
The Perception Paradox: Men Who Hate Feminists Think Feminists Hate Men
Feminists, on the whole, don’t hate men. We hate sexism and sexist oppression. After all, men are harmed by patriarchy, too.
Far from embracing the school run, most men are still trapped by rigid cultural notions of being strong, dominant and successful. Is it leading to an epidemic of unhappiness similar to the one felt by Betty Friedan’s 50s housewives?
