The Great Divide came with a diagnosis that, Noah says, changed how he understood his mind < Back Health, Neurodiversity, News Singer-songwriter Noah Kahan’s no 1 album came with a hidden OCD story The Great Divide came with a diagnosis that, Noah says, changed how he understood his mind MMS Staff 13 Jun 2026 3-min read Noah Kahan is the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter who turned small-town sadness, folk-pop confessionals and brutally honest lyrics into a global moment with Stick Season . Noah’s music has always felt like someone reading their diary out loud, which is exactly why fans connect with him so deeply. But while making his new album The Great Divide , Kahan was dealing with something even more private: an OCD diagnosis. Released on April 24, 2026, The Great Divide debuted at No 1 on the Billboard 200, giving Kahan one of the biggest milestones of his career. But the album’s success sits beside a much quieter story about therapy, intrusive thoughts, shame, and what it means to finally have a name for what your mind has been doing for years. OCD, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, is still badly misunderstood. Pop culture often reduces it to being “too neat,” “too clean,” or “super organized.” In real life, OCD can look very different. It can involve intrusive thoughts, fear, rumination, compulsions, mental checking, hidden rituals and intense distress. NIMH estimates that 2.3% of US adults experience OCD at some point in their lives, but many people still do not recognize it when it is not visible. For Kahan, the breaking point came during the making of The Great Divide . He had started working on the album at Aaron Dessner’s Long Pond Studio in late 2024, then went to Joshua Tree in March 2025 hoping the desert quiet would help him write. Instead, the isolation made his mental health worse. In interviews, Kahan described experiencing a severe episode of intrusive thoughts. His mind convinced him that things had happened even when he knew they had not. He feared he had said something he never said, or harmed someone while driving, despite having no evidence. That is one of the most difficult parts of OCD: the thought can feel terrifying even when the person knows it is not true. For a long time, Kahan kept much of it to himself. Then a therapy session led to an OCD diagnosis. It helped him understand that what he had been living with was not simply anxiety, stress or overthinking. He began connecting the diagnosis to childhood rituals and mental patterns he had carried for years. The diagnosis also changed how he understood OCD itself. Kahan had once associated it mainly with visible compulsions, like repeated handwashing. Later, he learned that OCD can also be internal, quiet and deeply hidden. That is why casual comments like “I’m so OCD” can be harmful. They turn a real mental health condition into a punchline and make it harder for people to name what they are going through. After returning home, Kahan began treatment and said his mental health improved. He felt more energetic and creative, and his collaborator Gabe Simon said Kahan is now in the healthiest place he has ever been. Noah Kahan’s OCD diagnosis cuts through the stereotype that obsessive-compulsive disorder is just about tidiness or control. It shows how intrusive thoughts and hidden rituals can exist behind public success, massive albums and sold-out rooms. Accurate conversations around OCD, neurodiversity, therapy and mental health care do not erase the complexity of someone’s experience. They reduce shame. They make room for better language. And for people quietly fighting their own minds, that can be the first step toward getting help that actually fits. Much much relate? Share it now!

Online misogyny is moving from boys’ feeds into classrooms, homes and real-life attitudes < Back Gender, News, Media Manosphere content is teaching young boys to hate women offline Online misogyny is moving from boys’ feeds into classrooms, homes and real-life attitudes MMS Staff 11 Jun 2026 4-min read The manosphere is no longer staying inside boys’ phones. Its language is turning up in classrooms. Its ideas are surfacing at dinner tables. Its contempt for women is being repeated by children who are still young enough to need help understanding the weight of their own words. For years, misogynistic influencers have sold toxic masculinity as confidence, discipline, success and “male self-improvement.” Through short videos, podcasts, gaming spaces and algorithm-driven feeds, Andrew Tate-style content can reach boys long before they are old enough to question what it is teaching them. And it is handing out a script where women are inferior, mothers exist to serve, female teachers can be disrespected and violence against women can be mocked, excused or treated as normal. That is why online misogyny is no longer only an internet safety problem. It is now a parenting problem, a classroom problem and a gender-based violence problem. When online hate leaves the screen Misogyny rarely arrives in a child’s life looking dangerous. It often comes dressed as a joke, a viral clip, a podcast line, a gaming insult, a gym video or a blunt “truth” about women. To a boy scrolling after school, it may look like entertainment. But repetition has power. A phrase becomes funny. A joke becomes familiar. An attitude becomes behaviour. In Australia, teachers have warned that Andrew Tate-style misogyny is already entering classrooms. Some female teachers have said sexist language and behaviour from boys have made them feel unsafe at work. The issue is not simply bad manners or teenage rudeness. It is boys challenging women’s authority, repeating online misogyny and treating female educators as people they do not have to respect. A classroom cannot function if girls are expected to absorb sexism and women teachers are expected to manage misogyny as ordinary misbehaviour. When contempt for women becomes a performance of masculinity, the damage does not stay online. Now, a similar warning is coming from inside Irish homes. The warning from Ireland Sonas, a domestic violence charity in Ireland that supports women and children through refuges and safe homes, has warned that boys as young as eight are repeating degrading views about women. In one reported case, an eight-year-old boy called his mother a “dish pig” and threw objects at her after he disliked his dinner. The phrase is being discussed here as an offensive insult aimed at women and care work. It is not a comment on people who do dishwashing work. The deeper concern is how cooking, cleaning and domestic labour are being turned into tools to humiliate mothers. This points to a worldview being sold to boys online: that care work is women’s duty, that mothers are there to serve and that boys are entitled to punish or degrade women when they do not get what they want. The child’s mother reportedly had parental restrictions on his social media. Yet masculinity influencer content was still accessible. For many parents, that is the most frightening part. They may be checking phones, setting limits and trying to monitor what their children watch. But misogynistic content does not always come from obvious extremist accounts. It can travel through reposted clips, meme pages, reaction videos, gaming communities and accounts that appear harmless at first. Algorithms do not need a child to search for hate. They only need him to pause long enough for the next video to arrive. When survivors hear misogyny at home Sonas has also raised another painful concern. Some women escaping domestic violence are now facing hostility from their own children after leaving abusive homes. In one case, a woman was describing the physical abuse she had experienced from her husband when her teenage son said she “deserved it.” For a survivor trying to rebuild safety, that sentence can be devastating. It can make the violence feel as if it has followed her into another room, in another voice. This is where online misogyny connects to coercive control. Coercive control is not only physical violence; it can include humiliation, intimidation, emotional abuse and the belief that one person has the right to dominate another. A child who repeats misogyny should not be written off as dangerous or evil. But adults cannot ignore what those ideas are teaching him. Boys need guidance, boundaries and support before online hate hardens into a worldview. The responsibility cannot sit with parents alone Sonas is urging Ireland’s media regulator, Coimisiún na Meán, to strengthen online safety rules. The charity wants platforms to reduce the algorithmic promotion of misogynistic content, improve age-gating and limit children’s exposure to material that normalises coercive control, violence against women or hatred of women. But regulation alone will not be enough. Parents, teachers and caregivers also need to treat sudden hostility towards women, mothers, girls or female teachers as a warning sign. Jokes about women belonging in the kitchen, contempt for feminism, anger at boundaries or claims that women are inferior should not be brushed off as harmless internet humour. The response does not have to be panic. It has to be attention. Where did you hear that? What do you think it means? Why is that funny? How do you think your mother felt when you said it? These questions are not small. They are the beginning of intervention. Boys deserve better than algorithms that turn insecurity into resentment. They deserve better than influencers who sell domination as strength. They deserve better than a culture that tells them masculinity must come at the cost of women’s safety. The goal is not to fear boys. The goal is to reach them before misogyny does. Much much relate? Share it now! WhatsApp Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn Copy link < Back SHORTS

A nonprofit turns public statues into evidence of harassment and women’s safety < Back Gender, Health, News In Germany, bronze female statues expose sexual harassment A nonprofit turns public statues into evidence of harassment and women’s safety MMS Staff 9 Jun 2026 3-minute read In Germany, three bronze female statues are telling a story many women already know too well. The breasts on the bronze statues are visibly brighter than the rest of their bodies. The statues weren’t made that way; instead, passers-by have touched them repeatedly over the years, wearing the bronze smooth. What may have been dismissed as a tourist habit or a public joke has now become evidence of something much larger: how easily women’s bodies are treated as public property. German women’s rights organization Terre des Femmes turned that visible damage into a powerful feminist campaign called Unsilence the Violence. The organization placed large white placards near the Juliet statue in Munich, the Youth statue in Bremen, and the Frau Rhein statue at Berlin’s Neptune Fountain. Each carried the same message: “Sexual harassment leaves its mark.” That simple line changed the way people were forced to look at the statues. These bronze women cannot speak, move away, resist, or consent. Yet their bodies carry the marks of repeated public touching. Terre des Femmes used those marks to connect public harassment with the everyday reality of sexual harassment, consent, misogyny, women’s safety, gender inequality, women’s rights, and violence against women. The campaign does not need to dramatize the problem. The proof is already sitting in public space. For years, the touching of these statues may have been treated as harmless. But that same language follows women everywhere. A comment on the street becomes “just a compliment.” A hand on the body becomes “not a big deal.” A violation in a crowd becomes “probably an accident.” The burden is quietly pushed onto women to ignore it, explain it, laugh it off, or keep moving. According to Terre des Femmes, two out of three women in Germany experience sexual harassment. The organization said the statues showed “decades of assaults by passers-by,” turning bronze into a public record of entitlement. So why are women still expected to prove that harassment leaves a mark? Across the world, women and girls learn to move through public spaces with calculation. They change routes, hold their phones tighter, avoid certain streets, text friends when they get home, and stay alert in places that should belong to everyone. Public space is called public, but for many women, safety is still conditional. That is where gender equality becomes more than a slogan. It is not only about laws, jobs, education, or representation. It is also about whether women can walk through a city, sit in a square, take public transport, attend a festival, or simply exist without their bodies becoming open for comment, contact, or control. Terre des Femmes also allowed passers-by to scan QR codes and hear short recordings where the statues “spoke” against the assault. The posters were later removed due to permit issues, but the campaign had already done its work. It made denial harder. It forced people to look at a familiar public object and see the violence hidden inside an ordinary gesture. The polished bronze became evidence. The statues became witnesses. The city became part of the conversation. “Sexual harassment leaves its mark” is a harsh social truth. Harassment leaves marks on bodies, memory, confidence, movement, and public spaces. It shapes where women go, how they dress, how they travel, and how safe they feel in the world. If bronze can show the damage, there is no excuse for ignoring women when they do. Much much relate?
