Greg Laden

The beginning of Greg Laden's article proclaiming men as testosterone damaged women.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Gregory Thomas Laden is an American biological anthropologist and science blogger. Laden has called men testosterone damaged women.^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]

Education

Born in 1958, Laden received his B.A. from the University of the State of New York's Regents College program in 1984, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1987 and 1992, respectively, where he was advised by Irven DeVore.^[9]^[10]^[11]

Career

Laden has taught at multiple institutions, including, but not limited to, Harvard, the University of Minnesota, and Century College.^[12] In 1999, when he was on the faculty of the University of Minnesota, he co-authored a study in Current Anthropology that found that the practice of humans cooking food evolved because it allowed them to cook vegetables.^[13] He published a blog, "Greg Laden's Blog", on ScienceBlogs,^[14] and evolution.^[15]

Quotes

"The problem with men, as a group, as a type of organism, as a subset of humans, is that at various points along the way on their journey from the female template on which all humans are built biologically, they have been altered in ways that make them dangerous assholes. Even when we try to reduce the male-female difference as a society, men who do not willingly participate in that often end up being fairly nasty, dangerous beasts; they may be rapists, they may be batterers, they may be some other thing. They break our efforts to have an egalitarian peaceful world. In a way, they are broken. They are damaged, if you will. Some of that damage is facilitated by what you may know of as testosterone (a word that stands in for androgens)." ^[16]^[17]

Opposition

Laden's position men and male brains has been widely rejected even amongst those who explicitely reject men's rights.^[18]^[19]

General Information

The main purpose of Wiki4Men is to provide a repository for information, studies, and research on men and boys and the broad range of issues affecting them, without feminist, misandric, gynocentric or woke bias. Wiki4Men also discusses issues of interest to MRAs, documents the evolution of the men's rights movement itself & misandry for posterity, and discusses issues of identity politics beyond the sphere of gender. The primary audience for Wiki4Men is MRAs, supporters of men's rights and the genuinely curious.

Starting in November 2023 topics that are more likely to be of interest to men are being added to the wiki.

The table below provides information on the number of articles in Wiki4Men.

This site encourages publication of factual information about men and women and the cultural contexts in which they meet. It aims to be the keeper of rational and evidence-based conclusions, while rejecting popular forms of gender bigotry.

Due to licence compatibility articles may be imported from Wikipedia with appropriate attribution. These articles can then be corrected for woke bias and other problems. Generally only selected sections of articles are imported from Wikipedia as many Wikipedia articles are now so long that they obscure important information.

Wiki4Men rejects gynocentric and misandric narratives.

Draft Notes

Misandry

Misandry is the hatred of, pathological aversion to, or prejudice against men.^[20] The first recorded use of the term dates from the 19th century.^[21] At the present time misandry is widespread in Western society but may be in decline.

These days it seems you don't need to look far to see negativity focused at men. What is often known as casual misandry permeates western civilisation where many men and women commonly make negative statements about men without apparently regarding this as a problem or being challenged by anyone else present. This problem has steadily deteriorated and we have now reached the point that books with titles such as Are Men Necessary? When Sexes Collide^[22] and The End of Men^[23] can be published without significant objection from the wider community.

Negative and inaccurate portrayals of men and boys have permeated mainstream media and online knowledge repositories such as Wikipedia, where the bias is particularly evident. Wikipedia editors routinely write negative commentaries about men and Wikipedia admins protect those commentaries while censoring counter-narratives that might show less biased, more accurate information. This practice is reinforced by feminist editing gangs who congregate in regular 'edit-a-thons'^[24]^[25]^[26] with the sole purpose of increasing feminist ideology within Wikipedia articles, and to censor male-positive discourse and research on men. In a nutshell those in control of Wikipedia have succeeded in deplatforming much reliable information about men and boys.
