A family member has written a heartfelt letter after their 80-year-old dad was investigated by police for simply talking to a young boy at a NSW supermarket. The letter reveals the incident has “struck at the confidence of an older man”, after he spoke to a boy and patted his head, which then saw him interviewed by police.
July 27, 2017 Women and Men Report Similar Levels of Work-Family Conflicts Research contradicts stereotypes that only women have trouble juggling work and family WASHINGTON — Contrary to public perception and many media accounts, women and men report similar levels of work-family conflicts, both in the form of work interfering with family and family interfering with work, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. Researchers spent several years examining the findings from more than 350 studies conducted over three decades that included more than 250,000 participants from across the world. The results were surprising, said lead researcher Kristen Shockley, PhD, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Georgia. The research was published online in the Journal of Applied Psychology®.

I recently read - via a Google search - that Twitter, FB and 1other social media site are female-dominated: Twitter is about 68% F; FB 52 or 58% F. Pinterest is overwhelmingly F and I saw no stat for Instagram. Reddit has about 82% male users (but the article was celebrating that women are using it more) and is the only mainstream sm site where men are majority. I've no problem with women #'s dominating female-dominated sites. I guess maybe it provides some little boost, to be retweeted, like getting a photo liked? Oh yeah...the womenboycoyytwitter thing was only a one-day-event....such willpower and determination! (No problem being a slave to utterly useless technology)

People outside Stephen's Green in Dublin were greeted with the sight of the naked body of a man on a mat with the hashtag #SOSManDown
The campaign was organised by Fathers4Justice to address rates of suicide, alcohol and drug abuse in men and ran simultaneously in Dublin, London and Edinburgh. The biggest male killer for under 35's is suicide and eight men a week take their lives here. F4J is calling for a Minister for Men & Boys to tackle the issue. Founder Matt O’Connor revealed he struggled with thoughts of suicide when a bitter custody battle for his two eldest sons brought him to his lowest ebb.
