Danudet Sangkaew, better known as “Nene”, ran one of Thailand’s top modeling agencies. The agency has reportedly worked with more than 8,400 child models and actors. Thailand’s Department Of Special Investigations (DSI) was given a tip off from Australian police. The DSI raided Nene’s office on February 11 and recovered pictures of child sex abuse on a computer hard drive.
Other outside parties were involved with the investigation. Operation Underground Railroad, a non-profit group helped out. Police and investigators of Australia and New Zealand were also involved. They reportedly found at least 40 minors from across the country and thousands from around the globe. According to Channel News Asia (CNA) report, the victims were male minors between the ages of 6 and 15. Nene was arrested.
Khemachart Prakyhongmanee, deputy director of the foreign affairs and transnational crime bureau at DSI spoke on the subject matter. “This is a child-porn industry and we’re proud to have cracked it. It’s like shopping for children for him. The agent usually approached them through schools by pretending to search for young models. Such access allowed him to target children, forge ties with their parents and eventually abuse them at his office outside Bangkok. When the child told his parents, they’d think ‘Oh! This came through the teachers. This is already screened,’ and trust him.”
The evidence against Nene is overwhelming. He utilized his position as a child modeling agent, to lure in minors. He strategically manipulated the boys by pretending to be genuine and gaining their trust. Afterwards, he was involved in participating in sexually abusive acts. Hopefully, justice will be served.
Introduction During Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration, politicians were heavily dressed up and glamorized. They made the typical “politician” victory speeches. However, what caught everyone’s attention was Bernie Sanders. While everyone was sitting around, being professional, Bernie was sitting down-wearing a winter coat and mittens, like a normal person. Due to this, the picture of Sanders went viral and he was trending all over social media. A lot of people found this simple situation adorable and fun. Apparently, other people found it disturbing. A woman by the name of Ingrid Seyer-Ochi wrote an op-ed to San Francisco Chronicle. She claimed, without any concrete evidence, that Bernie Sanders was exhibiting white male class privilege by wearing his winter attire. Sanders was a member of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1960s. He’s been an outstanding speaker for women. His campaign gimmick was about helping the poor and the “working class”. Yet, the simple act of Sanders wearing a winter coat and mittens, were enough to label him an enabler of “white male privilege”. Welcome to the reality we live in where an old white man wearing a coat makes him an enabler of oppression. A reality that paints a white male civil rights activist as a systemic racist who hates women. A guy who doesn’t advocate for hate, being told that his supporters are upholding the biggest forms of hate in American history. This entire article’s premise is completely silly. Luckily, most people thought that this was silly as well. After posting the tweet on Twitter, it got heavily ratioed and antagonized by Twitter users. It got so much backlash, that San Francisco Chronicle’s Twitter account had to delete their tweet. Today, common sense won over misandry. Though this was the most silly and extreme version of it, so that’s not saying much.
>From 2015-2019, there were at least 2,297 reports of children being abused by women in England and Wales. >Experts warn that there’s a “lack of understanding” surrounding the abuse. >Dr. Andrea Darling, a criminology researcher at Durham University, told the BBC that the figures are likely a lot higher. >Campaigners claim that the rise of reports is due to a lot more male children having the confidence to come forward. >A governments spokesperson has spoken out on the issue. Saying “The government will not allow there to be any safe space for sex offenders to operate – either online or offline, male or female – and will do all we can to help survivors of abuse. To this end, we will soon publish a first of its kind strategy to tackle all forms of child sexual abuse, including that perpetrated by female offenders.”
>Laura Dunker, an American married teacher at Bedford High School, has plead guilty to 2 counts of sexual battery. She is sentenced to 2 years in prison. >Laura had sex with 2 male students over the course of a year, despite being 31 and married. >Several of the sexual incidents have taken place in her car. Once, she picked up one of the students before school and drove to a carpark where they had sexual intercourse. >A school resource officer found about her activities and reported he to the authorities. >In order to avoid trouble, Laura resigned from her teaching position the same day and deleted text message threads that she had with the 2 boys. >She was originally charged with 6 counts of sexual battery. But it was later dropped to do. She will also have to register as a sex offender every 90 days for the rest of her life.
Introduction Due to the use of the internet, men’s issues have grown in popularity. Not outstanding by any means, but a working progress. With the rising discussion of men’s issues, the men’s rights movement (MRM) inevitably attracted attention as well. The MRM had a sudden surge in popularity in 2010. This led to popular YouTube channels giving their opinions on the movement and their stance on gender equality. The Young Turks (TYT) were one of the channels. TYT, being themselves, didn’t do accurate reporting on the subject. The Young Turks is a left wing news and opinion show on YouTube. They are currently the longest running news show in the world. Due to their progressive “principles”, they have become a notable staple of the left wing. One of those principles include being strong defenders of feminism. Noticing the rise of the MRM (a movement that doesn’t get along with feminists to say the least), TYT reached out to Karen Straughan for an “interview”. Originally, this seemed like a curious group of people being open minded. However, it became increasingly clear that the network had ulterior motives. They were under the impression that the movement didn’t have any legitimate points. Karen was invited on the show so that the MRM could be “exposed”. Ironically, TYT were the ones who got exposed.
Being A Misogynist In The Name Of Feminism The interview started out relatively friendly. Cenk casually introduced her to the audience and greeted her when she came on the program. However, the interview started to go sideways when he attempted to force his feminist perspectives on Karen. He tried to justify circumcision with the outdated claim of “medical reasons”. He downplayed the problems of feminism to “radicals”. And he continuously claimed that men’s injustices aren’t “oppressive”. Karen slowly and thoroughly debunked all of Cenk’s points. Cenk got so frustrated that he told her to get in the kitchen and make him a ham sandwich if she didn’t thank feminists for their hard work.

Karen Straughan Interview_Long Version
To no shock, the video received large dislikes from their audience. Cenk Uygur got criticized for his sexist remarks towards Karen. Overall, The Young Turks were scrutinized for attempting to push their feminist agenda on the person they’re supposed to be interviewing. This was utterly embarrassing. TYT, the largest left wing political channel on YouTube, got their ass handed to them. You would assume that this would give them a better chance to reconsider their ideas and do more research on the topic. However, they did the exact opposite. They started advocating even more strongly against the Men’s Rights Movement and against men’s issues altogether.
TYT Seems To Have Trouble With Research
TYT falsely claiming an online forum is a “MRA forum”
-Alex Kozak, an open carry advocate, was fired after a woman accused him of sexual harassment. He shot and killed that 20 year old woman. -Roosh V, who identifies as a Pick Up Artist, had his forum dominated with comments sympathizing with Alex Kozak. -We Hunted The Mammoth reported the forum as an online hangout for “red pillers”. Shifting from a specific forum to an entire “red pill” ideology. -The Raw Story then tweaks the facts again. And they transform the group from “red pillers” to MRAs. -The Young Turks, without bothering to check the facts, repeat the lie that MRAs were involved in the sympathizing with Alex Kozak, despite the stunning lack of concrete evidence. It’s hard to buy that they simply didn’t know the whole story. In fact, it’s not even a legitimate excuse. The Young Turks is a large news organization. It’s their job to check all of the facts before reporting it to their audience. It’s even more disturbing that they portray themselves as the alternative to mainstream media-citing their “honesty” as a reason to watch them instead. Well here’s TYT, the “honest” news organization failing to do deep research. Foaming at the mouth for the opportunity to get an “aha” against the MRM. Trying their best to say “See. We told you guys that MRAs are evil” as a defense of Cenk getting his ass kicked by Karen Straughan. Luckily, their fans saw right through it. And the video was bombarded with dislikes.
International TYT Day Actor John Boyega made a statements supporting International Women’s Day. The majority of the comments were positive. However, some random troll comments complained that he wasn’t talking about “men” on International WOMEN’S Day. John, made the perfect response. He casually called those people out and told them that he’s not talking about men today-he’s talking about women.
TYT falsely claims that MRAs were harassing John Boyega
This story is so simplistic, that it’s easy to report. There’s nothing to be confused about. Any natural person should have the maturity to recognize why it’s inappropriate to talk about men on a day about women. And that’s what makes the reporting from TYT flat out ridiculous. TYT, continuing their failed war against MRAs, chose to amp up the propaganda. Echoing the Alex Kozak story, they mislabeled the John Boyega backlash as a “MRA” backlash. At this point, TYT threw all of their principles out of the window. The reporting here is completely false. There wasn’t even a single report of MRAs attacking him for supporting Women’s Day. Yet that didn’t stop TYT from incorporating it into their title. >1:00-1:03 Ana, being the Ana that we all know, declared that International Men’s Day was “like every other day, right?” Men’s education is underfunded. Male victims of domestic and sexual violence aren’t fully recognized by the law. Men are given longer prison sentences for the same crime. Just to name a few. Are these issues discussed by the media and politicians every day? No. In fact, it’s barely discussed at all outside of a few men’s groups (which Ana is backlashing against). If men suffer from a plethora of issues and don’t have a mainstream platform to speak about it, how could International Men’s Day be every day? >3:54 Cenk Ugyur, attempting to throw another shot at Karen Straughan, brought her up (referring to her as that “woman that was on the show”) as if the debate the 2 of them had was in any way shape or form related to this story. Ana, of course, asked Cenk not to bring that topic back up. Which makes sense. Why would she want to revisit a topic where TYT got embarrassed in a debate? Just like the last time, this video had a very large dislike rate. Apparently their false reporting didn’t seem to give them the results they were expecting.
TYT Argues Against Due Process
In 2017, TYT decided to add yet another lazy video addressing MRAs-arguing against due process. -The extent of his research is essentially finding a source that is in favor of Title IX and refuses to actually do research on anything that opposes it. Meaning that he’s trying his best to construct a one-sided argument -He also tried to repeat the lie that MRAs were posting pictures of “rape victims” on their channel to “intimidate women”. Yet, there isn’t any evidence of The National Coalition For Men (the men’s rights group that they’re referencing) specifically outing women who were proven victims of sexual assault. Also, none of the articles that make this claim have any links to the NCFM doing this. -In the video, Cenk tried to make his point against MRAs by portraying the movement as a member of the “right wing”-which makes the lion share of his arguments completely irrelevant. Unless, your head’s been under a rock, you should know that the NCFM is openly politically neutral. Meaning that they don’t support Democrat or Republican groups-to avoid corruption. -Cenk argues, without evidence, that MRAs have been fighting against LGBT rights. When did this happen? Where did this happen? Is there any links of MRAs making speeches to do this? Are there any anti-LGBT articles from MRAs? Do they make anti-LGBT reports on their media? No? So why did Cenk make a completely fabricated assertion? Oh yeah. I almost forgot. Cenk’s imagination counts as evidence for The Young Turks. -Cenk goes on to complain about MRAs filing lawsuits against discriminatory policies that he feels are “unimportant”. -Ultimately, he concludes that Betsy Devos and MRAs are trying to attack victims instead of helping men. And, following the tradition, TYT got bombarded with dislikes again, calling them out with lazy reporting on an important topic.
Return Of The Turks
The Young Turks, a political commentary organization, can’t seem to master the basic art of research-the crucial part of political commentary. In May 15, 2015 John Iadarola, falsely claimed that MRAs were calling the Mad Max: Fury Road film “feminist propaganda”. What was his evidence that MRAs were doing this? An article by Return Of Kings (ROK) called “Feminist Piece Of Propaganda Posing As A Guy Flick”. Somehow, TYT managed to find this article to slander MRAs. Yet, they couldn’t find the ROK article that says “The Men’s Rights Movement Is No Place For Men”-which goes into detail about why they don’t support the MRM. You see, that’s the beauty of feminism. When feminists need to criticize the MRM, suddenly any group, person, organization, or troll account is a “MRM member”. No need to do actual research or use legitimate evidence when you can just make things up-which TYT masters. Luckily, there audience still didn’t fall for their nonsense and dominated the video with negative comments and dislikes for the dishonesty. This video was the most useless video they made, and that’s my final judgement.
TYT Shilling For Gillette
On 2019, Gillette launched a controversial ad called “We Believe”. Claiming to be fighting “toxic masculinity”. A very large amount of men did not like the framing of the commercial and thought the message was very poorly represented. This led to backlash against the Gillette ads. TYT decided to give their opinion on the topic and….well…you know where this is going. Cenk and Ana remembered the golden rule of their journalism, don’t actually address any of the actual concerns on the topic. Fabricate the most silly narrative possible and argue against that silly narrative. TYT’s alternative reality saw people backlashing against the ad because they didn’t want men to be the best that they could be. They want men to be their worst. To make the strawman larger, they pretended as if the backlash was a “conservative backlash”. This was undeniably false. Men of all political persuasions felt that the ad was silly. Hell, the best example is their own audience who gave them way more dislikes than likes on the video. Their own audience was called them out for their poor reporting on the subject-which has become a noticeable pattern at this point. Icing on top of the cake, TYT’s large dismissal didn’t seem to work. As Gillette lost approximately 8 billion dollars due to the ad. They were so scared about their financial losses, that they started changing their entire tune. They started making messages about male heroes instead of focusing on negative male behaviors. So, the side that TYT tried to use their influence to sway, put them on a losing side. One of the largest political commentary organizations on YouTube was involved in one of the biggest marketing failures in history. This failure is probably TYT’s 2nd biggest failure-behind Cenk’s failed 2020 political campaign for congress.
The Young Misandrists
On Jun 2, 2013 a YouTube channel by the name of “EndingNow” made a compilation of TYT conversations that show them promoting double standards against males. In this compilation alone, TYT is very dismissive of male domestic violence and rape victims, advocate for men to stay forced into gender roles, and shame men for stepping outside of their traditional stereotypes. >0:01-0:23 Cenk Uygur advocates for men to maintain their gender roles as “protector” of women >0:25-2:55 Cenk shows, and even acknowledges, his clear double standard between male predators and female predators -Lou Pearlman was an American record producer who was accused of molestation allegations against young boy band members. When reporting this story, Cenk rightfully condemned the male predator -When it came to condemning female predators, Cenk had incredible difficulty. He sexualized the 28 year old female babysitter who had sex with a minor. Cenk and Ana kept referring to her as a “girl” despite the fact that she was 28 year old during his time. Cenk says “that ain’t rape” because the boy “clearly wants it”. And he claims that he would encourage the pedophilic relationship if given the chance. -When Ana finally decides to ask him why the situation is different when the roles are in reverse, Cenk simply says “it just is” >2:58-4:27 Ana goes over a story where a Russian woman was put on trial for drugging and raping 10 men. Cenk again dismisses male victims and sexualizes the predators. Ana plays devil’s advocate and claimed that the predator may have a fetish for drugging men. Cenk even acknowledges that he knows that his thinking is wrong, but he just “can’t help himself” from victim blaming the men for coming to her house before the act took place. >4:28-5:15 Kelly Killoren Bensimon is a reality star that played on The Real Housewives Of New York City. She was arrested for allegedly committing domestic violence towards her ex-boyfriend in 2009. She allegedly hit her ex in the face during an argument. Cenk thought this story was hilarious and made a joke about how “she wasn’t playing” and how “she’s not putting up with any lip”. Ana added to the problem by finding the humor in him reporting the incident to the police. Cenk, puts himself in the predicament and says that he wouldn’t call the cops if his girlfriend bust him in the lip. >5:17-6:09 When it comes down to singer Rhianna, he chooses not to pass judgement for going back to what they classified as an “abusive relationship”. However, he tells male victims of domestic violence it’s their fault if they don’t get out of an abusive relationship. >6:12-6:52 Ana and Ben have a nice laugh while looking at “hot” female sex offenders. >6:54-8:18 Studies showed that a growing number of Japanese citizens aren’t interested in sex. At 16-19 years of age, 36% of the males in the survey weren’t interested in sex. Cenk got outraged at this number for being “too high”. He called those mean “weak”. According to him, men have to be sex thirsty or else they’re weak.
This compilation of videos, pretty much sums up where TYT’s head is at when it comes down to gender equality. So it makes sense that they are so against men’s rights and men’s issues. Ana thinks that the situation is not that big of a deal and think domestic violence against men is funny. Cenk flat out thinks that men should conform to gender roles altogether, while women can be whatever they want. It makes sense that they would be so against the MRM, since we’re advocating against these very gender roles.
Conclusion At the end of the day, this entire thing is embarrassing. The Young Turks is the largest progressive news show on YouTube. They have large amounts of subscribers and viewers, giving themselves incredible influence. The reason they have that very influence s because they started their show off presenting themselves as a counter to mainstream media. Mainstream media has a history of being dishonest-either leaving out important information or being willfully misleading. TYT was supposed to be that trustworthy news show that viewers could actually trust by giving full context of stories and being honest with their audience. Yet, in this very simple topic, TYT betrayed their entire message and the trust of their audience. Shouting down guests because they can’t manage to muster up any legitimate arguments. Using their influence to spread misinformation about gender equality. Giving illegitimate sources for their claims. And, other times, flat out lying to their audience. If you need any more evidence of how the left wing manages to turn into absolute clowns when they have to address men issues, look no further than this channel.
Background >True Kitchen + Kocktails is a black owned restaurant that recently opened up in Dallas Texas. They have a DJ in the background playing music. Some black women took it upon themselves to stand up from their seats and start twerking. One woman stood from her seat, put he hands on the glass, and started twerking. One of the girls were even egging the twerking on by recording it, while playing music. >The restaurant owner, Kevin Kelley, wasn’t pleased with the situation. If the girl would have broken the glass and hurt herself, the establishment could be facing a lawsuit for being “unsafe”. Also, from a business perspective, it doesn’t look pleasing to watch women dancing sexually around food. The owner didn’t want that reputation on his business. >Kevin Kelley walked over to the table and politely asked them stop. A few minutes later, this incident happened again. The owner came back and asked the ladies to stop a 2nd time. After the third time, he no longer wanted to ask them nicely. >In a viral video, he got upset and started telling them off. He told the women to respect themselves and behave maturely in his establishment. He advised them to leave if they couldn’t handle it. >The viral video, only showed him ranting. It didn’t show the lead up to the rant. It didn’t show him conducting himself professionally the first 2 times when he asked them to stop. It only shows his angry reaction the 3rd time, yelling at them.
Viral Video
Reaction >Black women took to Twitter to call the owner out for telling black women what to do with their bodies. Implying that they should be allowed to twerk wherever they want without repercussions. He was also criticized for swearing at the customers and telling them to get out, which was seen as “unprofessional”. >Kevin defended himself. He posted the lead up to his rant on Instagram. He also went to the media to clear up the whole situation. He also questioned whether or not these women would have done this at a white owned restaurant.
>Kevin got accused of “misogynoir” and hatred of black women. Claiming that his criticisms were deeply rooted in his hatred for black women. Some women even tried to claim that the music playing is an explanation for women to twerk in a restaurant.
I’m seeing a lot of people saying it’s his right as a business owner but a proper business owner would have the standards set prior to opening the doors. Furthermore why is there a DJ there playing songs instead of a jazz band or pianist? Seems like he needs to make up his mind
>Despite the social media backlash, Kelly claims that True Kitchen has actually boomed in sales. So the controversy didn’t seem to effectively hurt the business.
At the end of the day, the action and reaction of these women were completely ridiculous. Why twerk at a restaurant-as opposed to a club or at your own house? Why record an out of context video and post it for controversy? Why try to destroy his business for being told to behave maturely? Why were so many black women obsessed with tone policing him when the female customers were clearly at fault? None of their actions make sense. Luckily, this silly controversy didn’t seem to hurt his business.
Introduction The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Alabama and the Alabama Department of Corrections. The complain is targeting the inhumane conditions of Alabama’s male prisons-which violates the Constitution. The state has been accused of doing little to protect prisoners from violence and sexual assault. The prisons are completely unsanitary and the prisoners have been subject to excessive force from staff members. This lawsuit is a result of multi-year investigations.
Official Statements Multiple U.S. Attorneys have given official statements on the subject.
>Eric Dreiband-Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division: “The United States Constitution requires Alabama to make sure that its prisons are safe and humane. The Department of Justice conducted a thorough investigation of Alabama’s prisons for men and determined that Alabama violated and is continuing to violate the Constitution because its prisons are riddled with prisoner-on-prisoner and guard-on-prisoner violence. The violations have led to homicides, rapes, and serious injuries. The Department of Justice looks forward to proving its case in an Alabama federal courtroom.”
> William R. Chambers, Jr-Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District Of Alabama: “Our office is committed to ensuring that all citizens’ constitutional rights are respected. We will continue to work tirelessly to correct the constitutional deficiencies identified by our investigation into the state prison system.”
>Louis V. Franklin, Sr-U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Alabama: “The results of the investigation into safety and excessive force issues within Alabama’s prisons are distressing and continue to require real and immediate attention. We hope the filing of this complaint conveys the Department’s continued commitment to ensuring that the Department of Corrections abides by its constitutional obligations.”
>Richard W. Moore-U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama: “The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded us that one of the primary responsibilities of government is to keep our citizens safe. That responsibility extends to citizens incarcerated within Alabama prisons. Our investigation has demonstrated that constitutionally required standards have not been met in Alabama prisons and this must be corrected. I am disappointed that the efforts of both Alabama officials and DOJ officials to find appropriate solutions have not resulted in a mutually agreed upon resolution. Our oath as public officials now requires us to follow the Constitution and to pursue justice in the courts.”
Conclusion This lawsuit is great. It sets the tone for men’s rights. It manages to let men know that their human rights is recognized by the law. Even as a prisoner, men should be protected from sexual assault and excessive force. Refusing to adequately protect them denies them their civil rights. Great job by the Justice Department for standing up for our humanity.
