Professor of Philosophy Tommy Curry speaks on the challenges faced by sexually-victimized Black boys and men “Imagine if a young Black male in college wanted to report a sexual violation [...] to the Title IX office—would Title IX offices [...] even see him as a victim?”

Washington Post: At many HBCUs, just 1 in 3 are men. Here’s why that matters

At many HBCUs, just 1 in 3 students are men. Here’s why that matters. The trend comes even as overall enrollment numbers rise at some HBCUs. Howard, for example, has gained more than 3,000 students since 2016. But of those additional students just one of every six has been a man.

New research in Black Male Studies and carcerality.

Phallicisme et Abolition: Repenser la justice transformatrice à partir des Black Male Studies S’inscrivant dans le champ des Black Male Studies, cet article montre comment les hommes non blancs sont souvent les grands oubliés des luttes abolitionnistes, et ce alors mêmes qu’ils représentent l’écrasante majorité des personnes incarcérées.

Feminism has long misunderstood what patriarchy is & how it operates in various western societies. This essay argues: (1) that patriarchy is not a system of all men vs all women, but rather a system where older ingroup men oppress outgroup men and women in a kinship system that aims to eliminate outgroup men for the thriving of the racial kinship group, and (2) that the modern concept of gender which supposes that women are a minority group was based on white women observing the oppression Black people, specifically the ways that white men engaged Black men.

Rock went through nine hours of cognitive tests and was eventually diagnosed with nonverbal learning disorder, which makes it difficult for him to understand nonverbal signals. "All I understand are the words," he said.

He explained that he can take things "too literally" and has an "all-or-nothing thinking," as The Hollywood Reporter described it. "By the way, all of those things are really great for writing jokes — they’re just not great for one-on-one relationships," he added. "I’d always just chalked it up to being famous. Any time someone would respond to me in a negative way, I’d think, 'Whatever, they’re responding to something that has to do with who they think I am.' Now, I’m realizing it was me. A lot of it was me."
