Men in positions of power must take the lead in tackling toxic masculinity, which is a root cause of gender-based abuse, Scotland’s first minister has said. Writing for the Guardian, Humza Yousaf said: “It is simply not good enough to say ‘it is not all men’ and wash our hands of the problem we have collectively created; every single man can, and should, play his role in making change.” Yousaf said his growing awareness had caused him to reflect on his own behaviour. “Without doubt, in my younger years I will have told a misogynistic joke at the expense of women, or not challenged behaviour that was demeaning to women.” He said becoming a father to two daughters, as well as witnessing global regression in women’s rights, for example on abortion in the US and education in Afghanistan, had made him determined to use his position to “root out and tackle the toxic masculinity and male self-entitlement that leads to violence, harassment, misogyny and abuse against women”. Yousaf, who has faced a series of challenges since he replaced Nicola Sturgeon as SNP leader in March, including the ongoing investigation into party finances in which Sturgeon was arrested, a toxic confrontation with Westminster over gender recognition reform, a byelection in Rutherglen against a resurgent Scottish Labour and a festering row among MSPs about their governing alliance with the Scottish Greens, said he wanted Scotland to show “global leadership”. He has pledged to continue the work of the Barack Obama-inspired National Council for Women and Girls set up by his predecessor and appointed a gender-balanced cabinet as Sturgeon did. “There is a great opportunity for all men in positions of influence to demonstrate real leadership on this hugely important issue,” he said. “Whether in politics, in the office, on the work site, in school, the pub or our own living rooms, we can all do more as men to challenge problematic behaviour among our friends, colleagues and family members.” He said “finger wagging is not the answer”, insisting it was crucial to understand why thousands of young men and boys in Scotland were attracted to celebrity misogynists such as Andrew Tate. “As men, we must listen, we must learn but we also must demonstrate what a positive male identity looks like to our young boys and to other men,” Yousaf said.

Bayern had hoped to agree a deal for the England skipper but it is understood the two sides remain apart in their valuation of the 30-year-old. The Bundesliga champions had suggested if their bid for Kane was unsuccessful on this occasion they would move on to other transfer targets. However, with over three weeks of the transfer window left, it remains to be seen whether that is the case.

Hello all you new Lemmings fresh off the Reddit boat. Welcome to this alternative community to /r/oldphotosinreallife! This is an (at least so far) and unofficially migration home for the old reddit community. Old Photos In Year Life was one of my favorite things to pop up in my feed on Sync over the years. I started this out a few weeks ago after I transitioned away and found lemmy.world. I wanted to see what starting a community was like, so here we are! We've got 120 subscribers as I write this, and hopefully more soon. However this community will only work with content, so I'm hoping some of the folk from the old place will continue to share their fascinating photos with us. The rules on the right are pretty standard, please report anything that doesn't fit with those. If we start picking up momentum I'll ask for some mod help, so watch this space.

The new Celtic home kit for the coming season has been teased, but fan reaction is not good. Images emerged of the new adidas home kit for the 2023/24 Premiership season last week, with many fans hopeful that it was actually a hoax. The design featured a heavy black trim with a bubble-like pattern within the famous green hoops. Now the club have shared a teaser image of the kit which appears to confirm that the leaked version was indeed legit and will be worn by Brendan Rodgers' men. It’s due to go on sale this Friday but if the initial response from punters online is anything to go by, then it's not going to be flying off the shelves.
