Eric Clopper is a jewish attorney and children's rights advocate, who has set himself the extraordinary goal of outlawing circumcision within the U.S. in the next 10-15 years. Initially getting him kicking out of Harvard, Eric's undying passion to ensure all children are protected equally under the law, has led him into initiating a multi-state set of lawsuits that asserts that circumcision of boys is unconstitutional and requires drastic legislative reform.In this podcast, Eric and George from TheTinMen discuss what it would take to outlaw circumcision in America, for good; what harms the procedures causes, where it began, and why circumcision is far from being "just a snip."For more info visit https://www.intactglobal.org/Chapters00:17 – If a non therapeutic procedure was performed, without consent, on a child's genitals, in any other context, how would the law respond?01:13 – Why is circumcision not "just a snip"04:13 – How painful is circumcision? 08:17 – Why is the right to bodily integrity not extended to all children?10:47 – The lawsuit that will start to end circumcision in America15:56 – How do we find more plaintiffs? 19:03 – Is this anti religion? 19:40 – What are the medical benefits to circumcision? 24:11 – Dr John Kellogg: The man who tortured children26:22 – What does success look like?28:23 – How is Intact Global causing social change too?30:27 – What would you say to a parent who's considering circumcising their baby boy?33:02 – Why did the CPS (almost) class circumcision as "child abuse"36:18 – Circumcision around the world38:13 – Debunking the myths of circumcision46:09 – What would you say to the men who have been circumcised?52:25 – How can we support you and Intact Global?

Emeritus Professor, Dr Don Dutton has worked within family violence for 50 years, to become one of the world’s foremost experts on this issue.Dr Dutton has written nearly a dozen books and hundreds of peer reviewed papers on family violence; as a psychologist he's treated violent men for decades, co-founding the ‘Assaultive Husbands Project’, winning dozens of grants and awards, and acting as an expert witness in scores of legal trials, including the most infamous partner homicide trial in history – on the prosecution against O.J. Simpson. He is, simply put, 'the expert's expert'. What's more, Dr Dutton has been unafraid to challenge the male perpetrator, female victim paradigm of domestic violence, looking past the political ideology, and centreing his research on the evidence.Considering himself an "outsider" within family violence research, Dr Dutton has become a contentious character, often vilified for his hard hitting assertions, and reluctance to bow to the 'feminist agenda' that domestic violence is instrumental, and men enacting 'patriarchal power' onto women.Let's take a look – 00:00 – The paradox of gender equality and violence by women01:58 – The Millennial Shift04:18 – Why do people abuse power?05:59 – How do people respond to these unpopular findings?10:40 – The political agenda within domestic violence15:00 – How domestic violence surveys are flawed21:38 – Do feminist models of domestic violence harm women too?22:19 – Elastic measuring tapes; crime and health surveys24:15 – The Narcissists Prayer; debunking the myths35:22 – Do we normalise violence by women? 37:55 – The ugly truth about intimate partner homicides41:26 – What is "psych-ache"?42:20 – Partner homicide is more about suicide than murder45:42 – Suicide and relationship breakdown49:06 – Borderline personality disorder and abuse54:18 – Why do we ignore the mental health of men who kill their partner?55:10 – Dr Dutton an the OJ Simpson Trial58:45 – How researchers hide the truth01:01:55 – Setting the record straight on domestic abuse01:06:07 – Where to find Dr Duttons workRead Don's research at:https://drdondutton.com/

Suicide remains the number one cause of death for men under 50, with men being overrepresented in suicide deaths every year since records began, and across every country in the world.

And yet – Despite annually claiming the lives of more than 700,000 men globally, such a phenomenon remains grossly underfunded, and under researched.

Dr Susie Bennett, one of the most seminal, emerging male suicide researchers in the world, has begun to disentangle this so-often contentious, and under discussed phenomenon; to ask, once again... why do men die by suicide?

Asking –

Why are 94% of health professionals not trained on male suicide?

Is misandry the ignored scourge of the online world?

Why are suicide rates particularly high in farmers?

Is post natal depression in dads a laughing matter?

And what do suicidal men want from society?

Once again, the much misunderstood ‘incel’ phenomenon is back in the crucible of public discussion, following the release of the Netflix smash hit ‘Adolescence’. Public and politician alike have waded into the debate; heaping sympathy, outrage, fear, or distain at the feet of these lonely, deeply unwell, and sometimes violent young men. But behind the glossy production, fantastical screenwriting, and career defining performances, what is the truth about incels?Who are they? What do they want? Are they a terrorist threat? And how do we help them? Well, leading researcher into incels, William Costello, who remains the only researcher to work directly with this enigmatic group, is here to review the series, and separate the fact from the fiction…What do you think?~Chapters00:26: Who are incels? 03:23: Should Adolescence be shown in Westminster?06:50: Adolescence as a piece of art08:15: Adolescence as a piece of science12:14: Jamie and the clinical psychologist 16:13: Jamies, incels, and bullying21:32: Incels and suicidality22:20: The harm of using "incel" as an insult 25:07: Is incel a terrorist threat?30:58: What does a real life incel look like?33:39: Incels and autism36:41: Should we be more compassionate towarad incels?37:44: Why do boys like Andrew Tate, and how can we win them back?41:46: Is Andrew Tate an incel?45:25: What is the incel pipeline?47:23: What is the function of misogyny? 52:45: Red pill, blue pill, black pill, what are they?54:39: "The Manosphere": Incels, MGTOWs, MRAs and Jordan Peterson57:39: What do we say to our boys?01:02:19: What do politicians do for boys?01:03:58: Is this a "Reefer Madness" for online misogyny? 01:05:09: What comes next for society and incels?01:06:22: How to read William's research? ~Check out William.Costello's research at https://www.researchgate.net/profile/William-Costello-3Or follow him at https://x.com/CostelloWilliamMusic – Uniq, Art of Science

Jonathanshouse.org.uk is one of the few organisations supporting male victims of abuse in England and Wales.Offering talk groups, a support line, and soon, hopefully a shelter; Jonathan's House started from humble beginnings, when its founder Jody, himself an abuse survivor, offered his phone number to men in abusive relationships. The phone wouldn't stop ringing.And several hundred calls later, in just the first few months, the lesson was clearly learnt – these men are out there, in no small number, and in need of urgent help. Just eighteen months later and here we are, speaking about the one in three victims of abuse in England and Wales who are male, all 750,000 of them. The men who are finally getting the voice, support, understanding, and safe space they've been crying out for. And thanks to those like Jody, and the others working in tireless partnership with him. ~Support Jonathan's House at jonathanshouse.org.ukOr follow at @jhm_uk
