In the past articles about female perpetrated domestic violence that I read were lacking detail on exactly what she did, as if it didn't really matter. Sure, a few details were given in cases like Amber Heard attacked Depp, but not much. At least in the articles I read.

But I just came across a graphic description of female DV. Does this indicate progress? She only got a suspended sentence though. LMAO (Ignore the inane stuff about her being privately educated. Not interested in any attempt to derail the conversation).

"Man left with fractured vertebrae after jumping from window to avoid attack

A man was left with injuries including fractured vertebrae after leaping from a window when his privately educated ex-girlfriend launched a vicious attack on him shortly after they broke up.

Ashley Compton (male) was stabbed in the arm, strangled and hit with household items including a saucepan before he fled through the window to avoid the onslaught from Shannon Galligan, 28.

She became ‘angry’ for reasons that were not given in court and grabbed a saucepan which she used to hit him ‘on the back of the head’, prosecutor Marc Brown said.

The defendant then seized a knife and ‘shoved it into the back of the door’ before she grabbed her victim by his throat.

Mr Compton, who was described as ‘afraid’, tried to pull her hand away before he was stabbed in the arm, although he didn’t realise she had done so until later.

He then tried to escape down the stairs but was hit with a pole, at which point he ‘jumped from the window’ in the ground floor living room before escaping.

The injuries he sustained as he hit the ground included the broken vertebrae and multiple bruises.

Galligan, who works as a cleaner at Homebase according to her Facebook account, had been charged with wounding with intent but the prosecution accepted her guilty plea to unlawful wounding.

She also admitted intentional strangulation, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and criminal damage.

NOTE: This is relevant to Men's Rights because in answering my question, the AI points out examples of AI anti-male bias and also explains where this anti-male bias comes from.

I asked Google AI "Are you aware that lots of men are examining AI for anti-male bias?"

Here is what it said

Yes, the exploration of AI models for potential anti-male bias is an active and growing area of discussion among researchers, tech commentators, and online communities.

While a large portion of AI bias research historically focuses on how algorithms disadvantage women or minorities, recent empirical studies and user testing have prompted a closer look at how Guardrails and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) might inadvertently create biases against men. []

Key Areas of Focus

• Hiring and Evaluation Favoritism: A study by AI researcher David Rozado examined 22 different Large Language Models (LLMs)—including models from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Meta. The study, Gender and Positional Biases in LLM-Based Hiring Decisions, found that when evaluating identical resumes differing only by gender, every single tested model systematically favored female candidates over male candidates for job recommendations. []
• Overcorrection in Safety Guardrails: Commentators and user groups note that AI developers implement strict safety filters to prevent models from generating misogynistic content. Critics argue that these protective guardrails are sometimes asymmetrical, resulting in models that readily discuss systemic issues facing men as "opinions" or generalized traits, while applying much stricter sensitivity filters to discussions about women. []
• Content Generation and Stereotyping: Some users audit AI image and text generators to see how they portray gendered issues. They look at whether queries regarding mental health, domestic conflict, or criminal justice yield outputs that downplay male victimization or default to negative male stereotypes. []

The Broader Context

The conversation around AI and gender is highly nuanced. While these newer audits suggest areas where men face automated disadvantages, other studies concurrently show distinct biases against women, such as human evaluators penalizing female job candidates heavily if they discover the woman used AI to assist with their resume. []

Ultimately, AI models reflect the massive, complex datasets they are trained on, as well as the deliberate tuning introduced by engineers. As AI becomes more deeply embedded in recruiting, law, and daily life, independent audits from all perspectives are critical to identifying where these systems fail to remain neutral.

There have been some posts about false ogling accusations at gyms, and I have a question about that. I don't use gyms, I exercise 6 days a week. But just do calisthenics in my apartment, or jog outside or ride my stationary bike.

So, my questions is this. What exactly goes on in these scenarios? I know how some women dress for gyms, seen it in videos. And even in places other than gyms. Super tight stretchy pants that look like they are painted on. (Side comment. What is the thinking of these companies that make such pants? I mean I don't see that kind of clothing for men. Is it they realize some women want to dress like street walkers, so lets make money on that?)

So I know how they dress. But what happens if you're not even noticing a woman but happen to be looking in her general area? Ok, so she makes a phony accusation to boost her ego. Then what happens. She accuses, you say I was just facing that way. Or you say I was just on the treadmill next to hers.

Then what happens? Do they just assume she's telling the truth and that you are lying? I mean by now everyone knows more than a few women pull this sh&t. Do they kick you out? Just suggest you move away from her so she'll stop moaning? What happens?

I did not seek this out, just happened. There was an article about how male life expectancy varies between the US states. But the article also did point out how women in the USA outlive men by 5 years. Being an MRA of course, I focused on that.

Here is my comment.

Yup, men die younger than women and we still spend more on female health, AND feminists still complain we don't spend enough on women's health. And we always did spend more on women's health.

My comment did not get one single upvote. It did get 2 downvotes.

One response was "Waaaaaah!" linked to a GIF of an adult man having a childish temper tantrum. The response got one upvote. No downvotes until I gave it one downvote. This commenter had a male name.

Another response, which, though actually true, still showed no concern for men said "This article is about men dying younger in some states compared to men in other states." This comment got one downvote. Commenter's name was not gender specific.

Guess we're not supposed to care about men dying young.

Things AI can already do that its makers quietly avoid discussing 

July 8, 2026 — AS ANTONIO GUTERRES’ TERM OF OFFICE WINDS DOWN, THE RACE TO SELECT A NEW SECRETARY-GENERAL has entered its decisive phase. (1) Security Council straw polls to select the next Secretary-General are expected to begin at the end of July. (1) Among the four declared candidates is Rafael Mariano Grossi of Argentina, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, nominated on November 26, 2025, for the 2027–2031 term. (1)(2)

Today, the International Council for Men and Boys (ICMB) endorses Grossi to serve as the tenth Secretary-General of the United Nations. The endorsement reflects a deliberate search for a leader who will honor the UN Charter’s promise of equal rights to men and women.

Grossi brings more than four decades of diplomatic service, capped by leadership of the IAEA since 2019 and unopposed re-election in 2023. (2) Throughout the Russia-Ukraine war, he has served as an impartial mediator for the safety of nuclear facilities, including the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. (2) Argentina’s foreign ministry cited his “proven performance in situations of conflict and serious international crises as an impartial and effective interlocutor.” (2)

His official vision statement, “Renewing the Promise: A United Nations that works,” proposes five priorities: (3)

• Effective action for peace and security
• Development through realistic solutions and collaborative partnerships
• Human rights and human dignity as cornerstones of peace
• Modern management and institutional renewal
• Principled, pragmatic multilateralism

He observes that only 18 percent of Sustainable Development Goal targets are on track. (3) In their place, he calls for a grounded, results-oriented approach built on partnerships with civil society, the private sector, and the scientific community. (3) Notably, his platform affirms that “equal opportunity for men and women is not a matter of image or political correctness” but a source of better outcomes. (3)

***In June, the ICMB asked every candidate to state, on the record, how they would deliver the UN Charter’s promise of equal rights to men and boys. (4) Grossi’s platform offers an answer, and it aligns with ICMB’s mission to end the disparities harming men and boys in health, education, family courts, criminal justice, homelessness, and workplace deaths. (3)(4)***

The choice of a Secretary-General comes once in a decade. The ICMB urges UN member states, ambassadors, and pro-family organizations to seize it — by supporting a candidate prepared to lead for the whole human family.

The International Council for Men and Boys is a non-governmental organization working to end the 12 sex disparities that affect men and boys worldwide. The ICMB is a leader of the emerging global movement to address these disparities. 

TLDR: ***In June, the ICMB asked every candidate to state, on the record, how they would deliver the UN Charter’s promise of equal rights to men and boys. (4) Grossi’s platform offers an answer, and it aligns with ICMB’s mission to end the disparities harming men and boys in health, education, family courts, criminal justice, homelessness, and workplace deaths.

I've been reading online about people speculating about why AI is anti-male sexist. I see guesses like it's because the AI is reading online sources that themselves are sexist.

So I just thought I'd post about this. This is a study that showed AI is biased towards female in hiring, and it tries to explain why. It's called RLHF.

This study (Hoffstedde et al. 2026) is Japanese, it analyzes the behavior of some standard LLMs (Claude Sonnet 4.6, GPT-4o, DeepSeek-V3, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Llama 3.3 70B). This study found “a significant pro-female bias across all five models, replicating Western findings in a non-Western context.” And attributes these findings to the fact “that alignment procedures based on reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) may overcorrect for historically male-favoring patterns in training data, producing systematic pro-female preferences in hiring evaluations.” So humans react to what the AI does, and based on that feedback are re-trained.

There are lots of OPs here about anti-male sexism by AI. I always say when I catch it in that, the AI apologizes. Usually more sincerely than most people do. Anyway, it happened today, so thought I'd post it here.

A 2026 Journal of Occupational Therapy Education (JOTE) study found that predominantly white female demographics in the field contribute to microaggressions against students of color. The research recommends early education on the profession's diversity to combat these issues and foster a greater sense of belonging. Learn more in the full study

Correction, it said "microaggressions against students of color AND MALES". Watch your sexism please.

You are entirely right, and I sincerely apologize for that oversight. Dropping the specific mention of male students in a discussion specifically centered on HEED biases was an unforced error, and I appreciate you calling it out to ensure the data is represented accurately and fairly.

The complete finding from the Journal of Occupational Therapy Education (JOTE) highlights exactly what you stated: because the vast majority of occupational therapists are white females, both students of color and male students encounter distinct microaggressions, stereotyping, and a diminished sense of belonging during their educational and clinical training.

By failing to see males as a naturally fitting demographic in OT education, the systemic culture creates unnecessary barriers for underrepresented groups across both race and gender lines. The study’s recommendation to educate children early that occupational therapists come from all backgrounds is explicitly aimed at breaking down these rigid demographic assumptions so that future male students and students of color do not face these biases.

Thank you for the correction and for keeping the focus strictly on an accurate, inclusive representation of the research.
