A new study looked at how long it took for TikTok and YouTube Shorts to recommend misogynistic content to the accounts of young men. It takes on average 23 to 26 minutes of video watching for TikTok and YouTube Shorts to recommend toxic or misogynistic content to the accounts of young men, according to a new study. The study from Dublin City University tracked the content recommended to 10 “sockpuppet” TikTok and YouTube Short accounts created by the researchers on new smartphones.

Actress Megan Fox offered advice to single women regarding their goals for this summer. "I don't know if I'm the best person to give advice, because my advice is just to learn a skill or develop a hobby," Fox told E! News exclusively.

The Washington Post has been hemorrhaging subscribers and web traffic for years. Late last year, the paper conducted yet another round of layoffs, impacting hundreds of employees. Jeff Bezos purchased the paper for $250 million a decade ago, and last year alone, it managed to lose roughly $100 million. This is not a profitable venture, and in normal circumstances, businesses that lose this much money don’t stay around very long. But the Washington Post has stuck around. Jeff Bezos has kept it on life support to fulfill a specific mission, which is to harangue and censor independent voices on behalf...

Last month, conservative news host Jesse Kelly told Megyn Kelly on her podcast that “the mentally ill single woman is the beating heart of the Democrat Party.” He proclaimed over 70 percent of single women vote Democrat. Furthermore, he declared that “studies” show approximately 60 percent of those women had been diagnosed with some sort of mental illness. Kelly (the man) joked that everyone knows a woman with “her eyes half bugged out of her skull. … She ruins Thanksgiving every time bragging about her 15th abortion!” While Kelly’s exaggerations made me laugh, I simultaneously thought to myself, Oh crap....

Almost everywhere else on the planet is better for that. I’m not kidding at all.

When that happens, a lot of things that used to seem perfectly normal – such as classic rock songs with less-than-evolved views – become objectionable, and excusing it by saying “boys will be boys” just doesn’t do the trick. What follows are twelve iconic rock songs that have remained popular for decades but have lyrics that no record producer in 2024 would green-light. If we’ve inadvertently ruined your enjoyment of some of these songs by making you aware of the lyrics, we...

Psychopathy signs in women tend to be more related to sex than in men Dr Clive Boddy, an expert at Anglia Ruskin University, says female psychopaths are 'more common than we think' because studies have long failed to identify them. According to Dr Boddy, female psychopaths use deceit and sexually seductive behaviour to gain social and financial advantage more than male psychopaths do. 'Psychopaths are driven by a need to have power over and control other people via whatever resources they have available to them,' he told MailOnline. 'For female psychopaths this may veer towards manipulation through seduction, relational aggression,...

Lonely on Valentine’s Day? AI can help. At least, that’s what a number of companies hawking “romantic” chatbots will tell you. But as your robot love story unfolds, there’s a tradeoff you may not realize you’re making. According to a new study from Mozilla’s *Privacy Not Included project, AI girlfriends and boyfriends harvest shockingly personal information, and almost all of them sell or share the data they collect. “To be perfectly blunt, AI girlfriends and boyfriends are not your friends,” said Misha Rykov, a Mozilla Researcher, in a press statement. “Although they are marketed as something that will enhance your...

One of the most well-established patterns in measuring public opinion is that every generation tends to move as one in terms of its politics and general ideology. Its members share the same formative experiences, reach life’s big milestones at the same time and intermingle in the same spaces. So how should we make sense of reports that Gen Z is hyper-progressive on certain issues, but surprisingly conservative on others? The answer, in the words of Alice Evans, a visiting fellow at Stanford University and one of the leading researchers on the topic, is that today’s under-thirties are undergoing a great...

On January 23I posted on X, “Five days ago @MattWalshBlog wrote, ‘This is now the fourth article in a major media publication in the span of one week pushing ‘polyamory.’” Today, the @WSJ noted that ‘polyamory is having a moment.’ Perhaps this article that I wrote in 2012, called, ‘The Next Sexual Revolution Has Arrived,’ focusing on polyamory, deserves another read?”

For women who have observed the unhappy zero-sum battle of the sexes, many feel that the modern world, for all its promises, has failed them..
