Why Fascists Hate Sociology (opinion) The anti-sociology politicians are on to something in grasping the field’s power.

Why do fascists hate sociology? Because it makes transparent everything fascists don't want you to know. A sociological imagination makes us harder to control. Long live the sociological imagination.

Men who favor the tradwife lifestyle often view the women in it with derision A new study reveals that young men who support the so-called tradwife movement are driven more by hostile sexism and resentment toward women than by a chivalrous desire to protect and provide for them...

Study (N=595) finds hostile sexism (openly resentful toward women) was the strongest predictor of whether young men liked the tradwife movement. Another predictor: men who believed they needed a woman to feel complete.

What Happened to the Black Women Trump Purged From the Federal Work Force? Over a year later, they are struggling to find financial footing and make sense of the racist backlash that displaced them.

I have been waiting for this story (because it's the story of my region and the wealth inequality therein) and I'm so happy that Hammer and Hope did it. Not just as news, but as a broader story of why they sicced DOGE on the feds.

No, I am not worried about 'declining' birth rates, I accept them as post-modern birth rates, the birth rates that naturally happen once the conditions are set that children can be expected to survive to adulthood reliably and that women are allowed to be educated and become full citizens.

‘A sobering preview’: extreme heat now affects one in three people globally, study finds Rising temperatures making it hard even for young, healthy people to safely do normal physical tasks in many regions Climate breakdown is shrinking the amount of time that people can safely go about their lives, according to a study that shows a third of the world’s population now resides in areas where heat severely limits activity. Rising temperatures, driven by the continued burning of fossil fuels, are making it difficult even for many young, healthy adults to do basic physical activities, such as housework or walking up stairs during daylight hours at the height of the summer, the report warns.

The Statues Were Mostly Men or Nude Women. So These Knitters Got to Work.

In Denmark, 484 monuments depict historical men; 43 are of women. 120 public sculptures are female nudes (often mythological or literary figures.) Louise Moerup knitted coverups to bring attention to the absence of women remembered for their achievements. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/a...

Gen Z men twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands Global survey shows young men hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations Almost a third of generation Z men think a wife should obey her husband, according to a global survey of 23,000 people that found young men hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations.

Attitudes toward sexual norms also differed sharply across generations, with 21% of gen Z men thinking a “real woman” should never initiate sex, compared with only 7% of baby boomer men.

That's right. Worse than Pointless

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s tariffs It’s a rare loss for the president from a conservative-led court and a major rebuke of his economic program.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down Trump’s sweeping tariffs — a major repudiation of a core piece of the president's economic program.

The 6-3 decision was a rare instance of the court reining in Trump’s expansive use of executive power.

On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Agreed. Perhaps it is time American women stop taking their partners' names in marriage and give their children their family names instead of the fathers' family names.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
