"Give me a call when you're ready to say, We were wrong, Doc! Please help us! And I will spontaneously laugh in your face while disintegrating into the grass. And thereby touching the grass as I disintegrate into it."

Brian, Hannah Wallen, Dr Randomercam and Mike Stevenson on the Cornell 7 developments: the Title IX panel handing down suspensions, probation and expulsions, and a complainant who told police parts of the night were "pretty okay" and that she agreed to a threesome, before saying she could state with 100% confidence she was raped.

Also: Shane Gillis's SNL monologue...

"There are so many Save the World NGOs and Save the World LLCs in this state, you'd think we would have saved the world by now."

Brian interviews Phillip C. Parrish, retired Navy lieutenant commander, intelligence and counterterrorism, who went public on Minnesota child-care fraud after coming off orders in 2017, and who ran for governor in 2018 and then for lieutenant governor on Mike Lindell's ticket. Parrish talks about the Duluth model, which he dates to 1977 and the work of Pence, Paymar and McDonald.

Also: seventeen years he didn't call domestic violence, at six foot four and 240...

"Make sure you're flagellating yourself not because you're not feminist enough, but because you're too feminist."

Brian hosts political theorist Stephen K. Baskerville — author of Taken Into Custody and Who Lost America?, and of the recent essay "The Tragedy of Conservatism" — on family courts, the accusation industry, and why the professional Right won't touch either.

Also: the outrage that turned up for the civil rights movement and never for fathers; invading the churches and taking over the men's groups as the place to start locally; conservatives reaching for "feminism is Marxism" as a crutch; the allegations reac...

"She's applying these talking points not as topics of debate, but as gotchas."

Brian and Alison keep going through Rachel Wilson's debate with Kyla, also known as NotSoErudite, on whether feminism has done more harm than good — Wilson arguing it has, NotSoErudite looking anywhere else for a culprit.

Also: Claudia Goldin's finding that the 1970s was not a spike in women's employment but part of a rise already long underway; the Gulf states as the gotcha, and why fertility is falling faster in the debtor Muslim nations than the creditor ones; sixty thousand dollars of average st...

"They decided it was cheaper to just kill her."

Hannah Wallen, Mike Stevenson, Lauren Brooks and Richard the Lionhearted close out the assisted-suicide run on the Equality and Human Rights Commission's briefing to the House of Lords on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.

Also: a definition of terminal illness that turns on a six-month expectation while leaving "treatment" and "temporarily" undefined; whether a man whose depression has a cause nothing can change counts as terminally ill; the commission listing "women and disabled people" as though there are no disabled men; Barbara Wagner, the...

"It's like Highlander for women."

Brian, Hannah Wallen and Dr Randomercam on the Cornell 7 — seven Chi Phi members named in a September civil lawsuit, with nobody charged, after Tompkins County DA Matthew Van Houten declined to prosecute on a sworn statement he said did not allege she was drugged against her will.

Also: Kathy Hochul stripping him of the case and handing it to Letitia James, who had already posted that what the complainant endured was "horrific and unacceptable" and addressed "all survivors", then declined to say why she treated the allegations as fact before investigating; Ho...

"If it refers to itself as it, does it dress in drag as a human? Is that drag for it? I just want to know the logistics."

Brian and Alison read a Boston Globe piece from September this year, headlined "I hope your venue gets firebombed." The Last Ditch, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, had required a well-fitted KN95 or better at all times. It offered one optional night a week, and the queer community split.

Also: ten people in a circle on the dance floor, all masked, with two designated mediators, fifteen more on Zoom...

"She can go on, what, Tinder? Hinge? Pinterest? Whatever. Wherever the sloop machines aggregate. And she can lay out her wares and say, pull the lever, guys. Maybe you'll get something. Not really."

Brian and Alison read another Luke Olinga piece, this one building a case about modern courtship out of a four-line joke that travelled from Turkey to China, Japan and Europe.

Also: why her behaviour forecloses his own claim that she's living in precarity; the man who Venmos her the money unasked, and why he's toxically masculine anyway for possibly feeling good about it...

"How much responsibility do institutions have to take for these women? Do they have to wipe their ass? Warm their botties? Do airplane to give them their squished peas?"

Brian and Alison go through the Cornell 7 case — the civil complaint, Cornell's own Title IX timeline, and the New York prosecutor taken off the case after finding nothing actionable under the law as written. And how replacing him with a special prosecutor who is going to change the law proves he was right.

Also: the timeline nobody is quoting — she had sex with them, wanted to come back...

"Calling people names is not a conviction. It's just an accusation."

Brian, Hannah Wallen, Mike Stevenson and Dr Randomercam on HBR News 571 — and Mike dropping out of the call mid-rant.

Also: why Chris Hansen's show should perhaps have been called To Catch a Man; the welfare campaign that picked a young white man as its face, and what the statistics would have supported instead; the custodial-parent poverty figures nobody quotes; and a New Mexico ruling treating a 26-week fetus as a person under the Wrongful Death Act.

"If you want to end welfare dependence, th...

"You're not in your feminine era. You're just a slob and a bum."

Brian and Alison read an article asking why men no longer approach women, which lists the risks and then tells men to do it anyway — with honesty, courage, and a willingness to be vulnerable.

Also: the man catapult, and why nobody proposes dismantling any of it; what's left to bring to a relationship once your side of the ledger is erased — your money, your rank, and your absence; and the men who won't approach not because of the risk to themselves, but because wome...

"What can be done to essentially put a condom on this pack of AIDS-infested legislation — to make it as non-dangerous as humanly possible?"

Hannah Wallen hosts Talk 417 with Lauren Brooks, Mike Stevenson and Richard the Lionhearted on the assisted dying bill, and the counter-proposal the title is named for: pushing the Overton window toward medically assisted longevity enhancement. MALE.

Also: who in Canada has been offered it, and on what grounds; Gloria, who kept paying for chemo because she had things she wanted to do first, and stopped when she was ready; what an insurance company sa...

"There's actually a push by feminists now to criminalize being an incel."
"So — it's over for me then."

Hannah Wallen hosts Talk 416 with Lauren Brooks, Mike Stevenson and Richard the Lionhearted, on the proposal to solve male loneliness by outlawing the men nobody picked.

Also: anhedonia, and what it's like to be around someone who needs everyone else to be unhappy too; the stock answers lonely men get — not all women are like that, you haven't tried, no woman would reject you over your height; why a woman who brought no wealth into a marriage used...

"Throughout all of our history, women have worked. The 50s was an aberration that we're still paying for, because it spawned feminism."

"I don't see why we can't simply start the debate by saying feminism wanted to destroy marriage and it succeeded. Now what? Now that we've tried that — can we try not dying as a species?"

Brian and Alison watch Rachel Wilson's rematch with NotSoErudite, who spends it arguing that the Gulf states' falling birth rates prove feminism isn't the cause, and that the problem is really the gold standard.

Also: why firing a...

"Empathy was never the problem. Empathy is kind of good — it's difficult to be too empathetic. This is not a result of being too empathetic. It's a result of being too hateful."

Brian, Hannah Wallen, Mike Stevenson and Dr Randomercam on Patrick Clancy's 60 Minutes interview, where he answered accusations against him directly — that he was uncaring, unfaithful, or responsible himself.

Also: what he called a huge distraction from perinatal mental health; why a jury is meant to vet the evidence put in front of it, not just weigh it; and Hannah on reporting a nursing home to t...

"Anything that applies any kind of expectation or effort that women have to apply is the manosphere now. Which means the manosphere is life. It's love. It's physics. It's grammar. It's justice. It's kids still being alive to live out their lives."

Brian and Alison read "Why the Manosphere Just Won the Lindsay Clancy Debate" by Luke Olinga, published before the jury hung, and work through what he was claiming and what happened instead.

Also: why his comparison to a black defendant undercuts his own argument; and what the holdout was told when he asked about...

"Moral agency. What women, particularly feminists, seem to be running from like Indiana Jones ran from a fricking boulder."

Brian and Alison continue through Rachel Wilson's debate on whether feminism has done more harm than good, as she lays out six pillars of propaganda and introduces a seventh, which she calls the she-conomy.

Also: money denominated in debt, for more debt, using debt as collateral for more debt; how women who can't trust men can still trust the government somehow; the Thames tunnel, the Hoover Dam and the world wars as the same expectation of men...

"I've seen a billboard. It's lawyer maxing."

Hannah Wallen hosts with Richard the Lionhearted, on a post by Shadowclaw about what happened to a generation of young men once women got picky about who they'd even spend time with — and the reply insisting it was all about sex.

Also: why being picky in the eighties and nineties had a rationale; the difference between deserving something and being more likely to get it; and the reply that accused him of saying what he'd just explained he didn't mean.

"Anything with the word maxing added to it...

"It's not normal that we have hours and hours of content analysing what triggers attraction in females."

Brian talks to Bradley, co-host with Steven Baskerville of A Male Space, a YouTube channel on men's health, fitness, nutrition, fatherhood and loneliness.

Also: his ranking of societies from socially enforced monogamy down to the rampant, unregulated polygamy of today; why he named the channel for something men no longer have; the veterinary steroids that were common in gyms in the early nineties, and the teenagers taking bodybuilding drugs now; and the exterminationist strain of feminism.

"We...

"This isn't even a black pill anymore, folks. It's a pill of a colour that only a mantis shrimp can see. It's ultra-red slash infra-green pilled."

Brian, Hannah Wallen and Dr Randomercam on the campaign to identify the holdout juror from the Clancy mistrial, and what anyone is meant to do with his name once they have it.

Also: the statue question, and where the logic stops once it starts; what the transcriber wrote down in place of Patrick Clancy's screaming on the 911 call; the professor's estimate of 212 million killed by governments in the twentieth century...

"The capitalists are dead. The apex extractors now stride upon the horizon. Thank you, Marx. You killed the capitalists."

Brian and Alison read a blog by a woman who clicked on a group called Left-Wing Advocates for Young Men, expecting them to be talking about women's issues.

Also: why a society is meant to make a man's worth legible to women, and how our society does the reverse; why a man's income decides whether he marries and a woman's decides nothing; and hyperbolegomy — hypergamy goes exponential. Then a replay of the best of the gaming stream — Aaro...

"Women are presenting us with this paradox that we won't have sex with you until a different woman has had sex with you. We won't approve of you until another woman has approved of you. So you go — what do I do then?"

Hannah Wallen hosts Talk 414 on a post arguing men need to be more social, and the reaction when they are.

Also: why "women don't owe you sex" is not an answer to men being shut out of social contact entirely; Alcoholics Anonymous and the concept of loving detachment; and what the Manic Pixie Dr...

"She was a really great mother, and then she was a bad mother when she killed her kids, but then she went back to being a great mother again after that."

Brian and Alison talk about the hunt for the holdout juror's identity, and a commentator who reframed the case as being about the women of colour serving time for the same thing.

Also: the superchat pointing out that if hormones acquit Lindsay Clancy there are rapists who qualify too; why a juror weighing one piece of evidence against another was treated as proof he was...

"But he had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children."

"By killing her children, she declared herself innocent."

"If I had been on that jury, I would have declared the electric chair for Lindsay Clancy and my fellow jurors."

Brian and Alison work through NBC Boston's exclusive interview with three of the nine female jurors from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, and count out five separate perversions of justice in what the jurors volunteer about themselves.

Also: the juror who rated the defense attorney arrogant, entertaining and...

"You took the mask off. Now you're mad that men saw and rejected what you showed them. And you can't put the hangover back in the beer bottle."

Brian, Hannah Wallen and Dr Randomercam on the mistrial in the Lindsey Clancy case, and a defence attorney who narrowed the holdout juror down to one of three people on air.

Also: Gloria Steinem's death at 92 — comparing reactions a year to the day after Charlie Kirk was shot. Corey Walsh, charged with the murder of her two-year-old son, who told police he was the devil. And Shannon Galligan, wh...

"That's not toughness. That's just numbness with a flag pin."

Brian and Alison read a listicle explaining why conservative men are undatable, and bad in bed, and work through the reasons one at a time.

Also: the writer's other blog, and what she's doing around other people's teenagers; why virtue signalling about trans people, immigrants and abortions she'll never need is her way of announcing where she sits; and the point at which the criteria foreclose on every man alive, not just conservative ones.

"She's not just talking about conservative men being bad in...

"The encouragement of women to be their worst selves — that's the phrase that always comes back to me. It's like they just want women to be awful. And a lot of women, surprise, have in them the capacity to be awful."

Brian and Alison talk to Professor Janice Fiamengo about her new book, The Goddess That Failed, on the founding documents of the feminist movement and what they actually say.

Also: the Seneca Falls declaration, signed by men, asserting that man's object was absolute tyranny over woman; the Suzanna Danuta Walters essay instructing men how to be...

"Chronic bitulism. Not botulism — it's not bacterial, it's a completely different bug. A condition of chronic irrational irritability in which one draws connections between unrelated thoughts and facts, to support a continued bad mood."

Brian, Hannah Wallen and Dr Randomercam on GTA VI, and a bond system that tracks time spent together, text replies and mutual attentiveness — with those numbers feeding into story outcomes.

Also: the Red Dead patch that penalised players for killing the suffragette, and what the panel reads into a developer doing that; obituaries for Tim Curry, Dolly Parton and Peter Cullen, plus a ga...

"This isn't even a target anymore. It's the smell a target left. You know how radiation leaves a shadow? That's it. And they're saying — hey guys, try to hit it."

Brian and Alison read a blog by a woman explaining that men are radicalising, and that feminist men give her the ick.

Also: why going to college now reduces a man's likelihood of being married; what the genetic bottleneck argument actually shows; and her stated ask — "I'm asking for someone who thinks I am a person" — set against the 2.3 times more income liberal women want men to ear...

"There's a kind of ghoulish happiness about people they think are bad and dangerous being killed. They were celebrating, but they were also signalling — look at me, I'm saying the thing everyone's supposed to say."

Brian sits down with Dr Benedict Beckeld, philosopher and author of Western Self-Contempt: Oikophobia in the Decline of Civilizations, on why cultures come to hold themselves in contempt — and why he thinks it isn't new, or an excess of empathy.

Also: macro and micro monomania, his terms for reading all of history through one lens; which class the contempt starts in and...

"It's very important to not notice the thing, because if you notice the thing, it becomes your responsibility. You don't want to be responsible for it, so it doesn't exist anymore."

Hannah Wallen hosts with Lauren Brooks, Mike Stevenson and Richard the Lionhearted on what a health system does to the men inside it — assessment regimes, disability payments that come in under the wage they replace, and who is trusted to explain their own symptoms.

Also: baby Alfie, held until he died rather than released for treatment abroad; the invisible disabilities that get you accused of fa...

"It's like running a foot race against a seal, on dry land, and the seals are the ones judging it."

Brian and Alison watch two debates against Rachel Wilson on whether feminism has done more harm than good.

Also: the ten years Marxist feminists spent trying to derive the material benefit men extract from providing for women, and what they built when they couldn't; the "I'm not going to go to your Substack" exchange; and why the pool of married liberal men doesn't behave the way the advice assumes.

"It's not a man getting...

"A male feminist stands on the world stage in a bubbling swamp of volcanic misandry, and he meticulously sets up the firing squad that will execute him."

Brian, Hannah Wallen and Dr Randomercam on the women posting in solidarity with Lindsey Clancy, and the copycat cases that followed.

Also: how the colour convention flipped, and why the ones who got pink never traded up to red; what Kamala Harris had to be ordered by a judge to hand over; and the argument that amplifying this makes more of it.

"When you lie down with...

"Is pink only for you, Byrony? Because you've got the magic feminist spell that makes it non-patriarchal to wear pink?"

Brian and Alison go through a creator's back catalogue on the monthly fundraiser stream — a memoir about a marriage to a much older man, a video condemning all men everywhere off the back of it, and the housework studies that keep getting cited.

Also: why the further left or right she is, the more he has to earn; what counts as "outdoor work" when repairing a fridge is filed under it; the domestic violence figures for fe...

The "bear" is back, and women are still being women about it.

Some days I just want to punch everything. We’re still on the subject of assisted suicide, but there’s some other things we need to read that are related to men, suicide, medical care, and care in general. We’ll start the first one today.

Jake Rattlesnake debates a bunch of "one-good-men" on feminism. But what do they all get wrong?

Welcome to HBR News where we give the badger treatment to the news of the week! This week we will be talking about the reaction to the mass murder of children by their own mother and more importantly, the reaction to it, Jason Arday commits suicide because of racism, and more!

The singularity is here, and it's putting boobs on men. Also REPO.

The mask explodes, the fangs made bare.
