The Data Behind the Mission
This statistic from Dr. Jim McNamara’s study (cited in "Men on Strike") remains the North Star for this account: 69% of media commentary on men is unfavorable. Only 12% is favorable. When the narrative is this heavily skewed, the impact on fathers, sons, and mentors is profound.
Male Positive Media has spent the last 13 years working to move that needle.
Our Goals for the 10K Push:
Counter the Unfavorable: We explicitly challenge the 69% by highlighting the "bumbling dad" and "villain" tropes that have become the media's default.
Expand the 12%: We actively seek out and celebrate the stories of male competence, sacrifice, and steady character that the mainstream often ignores.
The 10,000 Follower Milestone: We are pushing to reach 10,000 followers to amplify this message. This isn't just a number; it is about building a collective voice large enough that the 69% statistic can no longer be ignored by those who create our culture.
If you believe that the 12% "favorable" window needs to grow, join us. Help us hit 10K.
Follow, Repost, and let’s change the narrative together.

This is not funny! This is domestic violence. Women will laugh at this and think it's cute. It should be prosecuted! Every single time.

Being mean or bullying someone is so weird to me.
Because healthy people have no desire to embarrass, belittle, or just overall, intentionally hurt people.
Only toxic people want to harm others.

On Saturday and five days prior to International Men's Day, women will march for men in Belfast. This is how men and women of goodwill are working towards genuine equality...
Thank you to all of the organisers and to Men's Alliance Northern Ireland.

Day 11 of Mens Equality Month:
➡️Boys are falling behind in education at every level, & almost nobody's talking about it. This is disparity number 5 in our 12 for Men's Equality Month.
➡️In school, girls outperform boys in reading across every OECD country. Boys are more likely to be held back a grade, more likely to drop out, & less likely to pursue higher education.
➡️By university age, the gap is stark. In the US, women earn about sixty percent of bachelor's degrees. In the UK, it's similar. Young men are simply opting out of the pipeline.
➡️The causes are debated — teaching styles that favour verbal processing, fewer male role models in classrooms, & a culture that frames academic effort as uncool for boys. Whatever the mix, the outcome is the same. ➡️This isn't about taking anything from girls. It's about noticing that half our kids are struggling & responding with silence. ➡️Awareness is step one. @Stop__The__Lies @IFAD9S @tiggeroma007 @karloslk83 @AndreGuacci @VetFather_Bill @jaredwauthor @yannis_z6 @PapiCaminando @wthiro2 @VeryHarryGant @Lewislegal2024 @MenNeed2BeHeard @seanbwparker @DaysOfAHireling @TruthWinzz @ga_richardson @calvesrn7 @MrStardust50

Head to the International Men's Day website for posters, logos, award certificates, and information about holding an IMD event. There are heaps of resources, available for free:

This year will mark the twenty-eighth commemoration of International Men's Day on the 19th of November. Last year, International Men's Day was marked and celebrated in more than 110 countries around the world.
Let's make 2026 the biggest celebration of men and boys so far...

Men are excluded from a Las Vegas program that offers treatment instead of jail.
WIN Court lets women with repeated misdemeanor offenses enter 18–24 months of treatment for trauma, mental health and substance use while their jail sentences are suspended.
A man with the same offenses and treatment needs cannot enter.
Men’s trauma deserves the same consideration when their freedom is at stake.

Men’s Equality Month continues to expand globally, growing from observances in 22 countries in 2024 to 72 countries in 2025. Women are increasingly contributing to the movement through advocacy, commentary, and support for issues affecting men and boys.
From men’s health and suicide prevention to fatherhood and mental wellbeing, their involvement highlights the importance of collaboration in advancing gender equality and addressing challenges faced by both sexes.

Tom Golden @trgolden has created a rather amusing video based on one of my Tales from The Patriarchy cartoons.
It was posted there a couple of weeks ago, but I only just got back from Australia now to post it here.

🚨#BREAKING: Two TEEN BROTHERS are being hailed as HEROES after they RESCUED a Florida mom and her little boy who were TRAPPED on their kitchen counter with their 3 dogs as floodwater filled their home...
...the mother called 911 THREE TIMES and no one could come, then two TEEN BROTHERS grabbed a kayak and a paddleboard and went and SAVED THEM!!!
ALL OF THEM made it out, the dogs too!!!! ❤️
The t names are Jonah and Lucas Marshall.
Jonah is 15. Lucas is 17. They live in Palm Bay, Florida.
This week, Palm Bay got slammed by some of the worst flooding the city has ever seen.
Brittany Grant and her son climbed up on their kitchen counter with their three dogs as the water kept rising inside the house.
No way out.
She called 911.
Then she called again.
Then she called a THIRD time... and was told there were no emergency resources available because of the flooding.
So she did the only thing left. She posted on Facebook.
A mother saw that post and her two boys didn’t wait around.
Jonah borrowed a neighbor’s KAYAK and Lucas grabbed his PADDLEBOARD.
Together with another neighbor, they paddled through the floodwater to a house full of strangers.
Jonah says they didn’t even think about it, those people were in danger, so they just went.
Lucas admits it was a little nerve-wracking... but he figured they were strong and able, so why not.
By the time they got there, Brittany and her son had been stuck on that counter for MULTIPLE HOURS.
Lucas got the little boy out FIRST.
And the whole way, he kept him talking so he wouldn’t be scared.
What’s your name? How’s school going?
Then he told him: “This is a weird day, isn’t it?”
A 17-year-old kid, in the middle of a flood, making a scared little boy feel normal. 😭
The brothers got Brittany, her son, and ALL THREE DOGS to dry land.
Brittany says if it weren’t for them, she doesn’t know how they would have gotten out.
And she says neighbors she had NEVER MET restored her faith in humanity.
The next generation isn’t lost, folks.
Some of them are paddling into floodwater when no one else can come.
GOD BLESS Jonah and Lucas Marshall, and GOD BLESS the mama who raised them.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Every November, people around the world mark Men's Equality Month, and on November 19, International Men's Day. They celebrate men and boys, and draw attention to 12 areas where men and boys fall behind.
The Future Is Everyone. A future for everyone includes boys and men.

A statistic that sounds fake but isn't: Not one single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker.
It's not because they stopped writing. It's because The New Yorker has refused to publish them. The publishing industry has blacked out a generation of male writers & then they wonder why boys don't read.
About 70% of publishing professionals are women.
Because agents and editors tend to select books they personally relate to, an increasing number of male authors are being sidelined in the publishing industry, resulting in an overwhelming number of female protagonists on our shelves—and a dearth of male ones.
No wonder young men are no longer reading.

Masculinity Doesn't Need to Be Denigrated and Deconstructed. It Needs to Be Understood...
The fundamental intellectual failure of the masculinity deficit trope is that it mistakes a selective catalogue of masculine dysfunctions for a comprehensive understanding of manhood.
It combines genuinely harmful behaviours with masculine characteristics that are profoundly constructive, then presents the resulting caricature as evidence that traditional masculinity requires transformation.
This framing is historically reductive, conceptually flawed and methodologically questionable. It invalidates the positive meanings that men attach to strength, stoicism, self-reliance, fatherhood, responsibility and service. And it's nothing more than a strawman (a fake argument, that's set up to be easily defeated)...
Traditional masculinity certainly isn't synonymous with the emotionally distant 1950s breadwinner, the domineering patriarch or the aggressive adolescent.
Its inheritance is far far richer than that. Classical philosophy, the great religions and longstanding traditions of fatherhood offer ideals of courage, honour, compassion, self-mastery, protection and sacrifice.
Jesus Christ exemplifies this vision: strong without cruelty, courageous without recklessness, emotionally expressive without surrendering composure, and authoritative without domination.
Boys deserve inspiring ideals of manhood, not an endless catalogue of masculine shortcomings.
Furthermore, the burden of proof rests with proponents seeking to transform masculine identity, especially through programmes delivered to schoolchildren. They must demonstrate that their interventions improve measurable outcomes, respect boys' dignity, avoid unintended harm and outperform less ideological alternatives...
Our task isn't to dismantle masculinity or prescribe an ideologically approved replacement. It's to cultivate the finest expressions of manhood while holding individuals (both male and female) accountable for harmful conduct.

Depending on who we are, we all have a gendered experience of life.
In ways that are both positive and negative, beneficial or harmful, men are often treated in one way, and women in another.
We call these “double standards”, and many flat-out deny men experience them just as often as women.
So today I’d like to fill in that gap, and ask: what are the biggest double standards that men face?
What do you think?

🚨#BREAKING: Two teenager brothers are being hailed as HEROES after they DOVE INTO A RETENTION POND to RESCUE A GRANDMOTHER and a 2 and 5 year old from drowning!!!
...the 2 teens heard the splash, ran over, and pulled ALL THREE of them out ALIVE!!!
The baby was still underwater in that stroller when they found him. He’s ALIVE today! ❤️
Their names are Maddox and Grant Larger.
They’re brothers from Carmel, Indiana.
Maddox is 15. Grant is 14.
On Monday morning, around 11:15, Grant heard a splash.
He looked down at the pond and saw them floating in the water.
A grandmother, struggling, going under.
Her 4-year-old grandbaby was strapped to her back.
The stroller holding her 2-year-old had rolled into the pond and was partially SUBMERGED.
Neither grandma nor the 4-year-old knew how to swim.
Grant got on the phone with 911.
Maddox, who swims for the Carmel Swim Club, jumped STRAIGHT IN.
Together the brothers dragged grandma and the 4-year-old to dry land.
But here’s the part that got me...
Once everyone was out, Maddox realized the baby was STILL IN THE STROLLER.
He unbuckled him, pulled him out, tipped him over to drain the water, and patted his back until the little baby coughed up the pond water... and started BREATHING again.
By the time firefighters and police got there, both little kids were conscious.
Carmel officials say there is no doubt these two boys SAVED THAT 2-YEAR-OLD’S LIFE.
The fire department says they proved you don’t need a uniform or a badge to be a hero.
And Grant? Humble as can be.
“Anybody would’ve done what we did.”
The city is honoring both brothers at the Carmel City Council meeting on November 16.
FIFTEEN and FOURTEEN years old!!!!!!
GOD BLESS Maddox and Grant Larger.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
