Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are working with an organization that wants to re-write the phrase “boys will be boys” and believes boyhood is “fluid,” and “socially constructed.”The Duke and Duchess of Sussex teamed up with the Global Boyhood Initiative through their foundation Archewell and podcast Archetypes, which aims to break down gender stereotypes and help young boys evolve into “healthy men.”The group claims it aims to encourage boys to “share emotions in healthy ways, accept & connect with others, stand up & speak out against bullying & inequality, and break free from stereotypes.”MEGHAN MARKLE ISN’T ‘BRAVE ENOUGH’ TO ATTEND KING CHARLES’ CORONATION, PRINCESS DIANA’S BUTLER CLAIMS Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have already received their invitation to King Charles’ coronation. (Mark Cuthbert/UK Press)According to the duo’s foundation website, the partnership “works to achieve gender equality and social justice by transforming intergenerational patterns of harm and promoting patterns of care, empathy and accountability among boys and men throughout their lives.”The initiative lists several “resources” on its website, in collaboration with the Sussexes, to offer “a guide for promoting gender equity by fostering positive masculinity in boys and men.”According to a U.K.-based report released by the group, families can be seen as gender “factories,” and parents are able to “gender” their children before they are even born. “Parents may begin gendering their children even before birth based on the identification of external genitalia in scans, including through elaborate ‘gender reveal’ parties and a stream of purchases along gender lines (Kane, 2006; Price and Tayler, 2015),” the pamphlet reads. MINNESOTA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MUSIC TEACHER CLAIMS ‘THE GOAL’ IS TO CONFUSE STUDENTS ABOUT GENDER: VIDEO Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are working with a charity that believes gender is “fluid” and “socially constructed.” (iStock)”While the family is a place of nurturing and support for many children, it can also be where gender and sexuality are regulated and policed, as many of our interviewees and much research suggest,” it continues. Harry and Meghan have long made “gender equity” a significant focus of their charitable efforts. Months before partnering with the Global Boyhood Initiative last year, the duo announced four organizations would receive grants to promote the effort. “As we cross into Women’s History Month, and ahead of International Women’s Day next week, The Archewell Foundation is announcing a number of non-profit investments in leading organizations working to advance gender equity, build policies that empower women and families, ensure meaningful media representation for women, and provide women with a network of tools and support for gaining employment,” the website reads. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe recipients of the grants included: The Center on Poverty and Inequality at Georgetown University Law Center, National Women’s Law Center, the 19th, and Smart Works.

Gwyneth Paltrow is set to take the stand in a civil case regarding a 2016 ski accident, a source confirmed to Fox News Digital.Paltrow has been sued for $300,000 by a retired optometrist, who claims the actress skied into him from behind at the Deer Valley resort.Terry Sanderson accused the Goop founder of skiing off after the accident – which left him with a “permanent traumatic brain injury, 4 broken ribs, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life,” along with emotional distress and disfigurement, according to the lawsuit obtained by Fox News Digital.”Paltrow got up, turned and skied away, leaving Sanderson stunned, lying in the snow, seriously injured,” according to the complaint, which was filed in 2019. “A Deer Valley ski instructor, who had been training Ms. Paltrow, but who did not see the crash, skied over, saw the injured Sanderson and skied off, falsely accusing Sanderson of having caused the crash.” Gwyneth Paltrow has been sued by a man who claims the actress skied into him from behind causing severe injuries in 2016 on the slopes at Deer Valley Resort.

The law requires skiers who have experienced a collision to give their name and permanent address to a resort employee before leaving the scene, according to Deer Valley Resort.Other suggestions include notifying resort personnel and helping keep other skiers away from the area of incident.GWYNETH PALTROW’S GOOP SUED AFTER ‘VAGINA’ CANDLE ALLEGEDLY EXPLODED: REPORT Gwyneth Paltrow, pictured in Austria, was accused of skiing off after the incident. (Getty Images)A legal expert explained what a jury would have to decide in order for a judge to rule that Paltrow was negligent in the 2016 accident.”It’s actually really fuzzy. It just means that a person did not use reasonable care,” attorney Tyler Brown of the firm Nuttall, Brown and Coutts told Fox News Digital. “We all have a duty to use reasonable care to avoid injuring others. And it’s defined really simply as what would a reasonably careful person do in a similar situation.”Brown, who has handled ski accident lawsuits in the past but is not involved in Paltrow’s current lawsuit, noted that these negligence cases are typically situational.”Ordinary circumstances don’t necessarily require extraordinary caution. Skiing is kind of a pretty ordinary recreational activity,” he explained. “So, it’s not like because they were skiing, they have this extremely heightened duty of care, but it might involve a little bit more care than just a regular situation.”When bringing a civil lawsuit, the plaintiff has the burden of proof. Sanderson’s legal team will likely have a hard time convincing a jury that Paltrow was in the wrong, according to Brown.”The person who’s asserting this claim is going to have their work cut out for them, because… they have to establish and convince a jury that she really was acting unreasonably,” he said. “And that’s going to be really hard to do if it’s unclear about what even happened.” Gwyneth Paltrow has claimed that Terry Sanderson hit her from behind while skiing in 2016. (Getty Images)GWYNETH PALTROW’S GOOP AGREES TO PAY SETTLEMENT OVER UNSCIENTIFIC HEALTH CLAIMS ABOUT VAGINAL EGGSThe burden of proof doesn’t end there. Sanderson is also responsible for proving the ski accident directly caused his injuries.”They have to prove that they suffered harm. They have to prove the legitimacy of their medical claims, the amount of their medical bills, any lost wages because of missing work,” Brown explained. “And they have to prove that these injuries were actually caused by this accident and not a preexisting condition or caused by, you know, maybe they went home and slipped on the ice in the parking lot.”As for why this case is going to trial, Paltrow might be looking to repair her reputation, according to celebrity lawyer Duncan Levin.”It takes two to settle, and we don’t really know who is pushing this to trial, but based on everything we know, Paltrow is well within her rights to fight this all the way to the end,” the attorney, who has represented Harvey Weinstein, Clare Bronfman and Anna Delvey, among others, told Fox News Digital. Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow will take the stand, a source told Fox News Digital.

(Getty Images)”For Paltrow, this is not about the money, which she has plenty of. It’s about repairing her reputation and fending off someone who she believes to be bringing a false claim to get at her deep pockets,” he added. “She’s far more focused on the court of public opinion than the one in Utah.”Levin, who is not currently representing Paltrow, noted that it isn’t always about a settlement for celebrities.”High-profile defendants often rightly care more about vindication and fending off frivolous lawsuits than quickly settling what they believe to be a meritless case.”CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

An international effort to rebuild shark populations officially has begun.Two baby zebra sharks were released in the Raja Ampat Regency of Indonesia earlier this year as the first step in a massive re-wilding project.The new organization, called ReShark, has joined 15 countries and 44 aquariums in an effort to raise zebra sharks in captivity, then release them back into the wild, according to National Geographic.WORLD’S LARGEST, RAREST OCEAN STINGRAYS SPOTTED AND TAGGED IN MOZAMBIQUEReShark aims to release 500 zebra sharks in Indonesian waters within the next five to 10 years.Dr. Erin Meyer, Seattle Aquarium vice president of conservation programs and partnerships, told Fox News Digital in an interview that this is just the beginning of creating a shark resurgence.

Adult zebra sharks are endangered everywhere outside Australia, but there are more than 100 in aquariums around the world. Several aquariums, including Shedd, are letting adults mate and produce eggs, which will be shipped to Indonesia. (David Doubilet and Jennifer Hayes, National Geographic)Meyer added that sharks are “keystone species” within their ecosystems, which means their environments can “collapse” without their “keeping other species in check.”ReShark first launched its initiative in 2020, beginning with the endangered zebra shark.”We know what they eat and we know how to keep them alive.”

The greatest joy in my life has been standing by my husband as we raise six smart, caring, and energetic kids. While none of them carry our blood, they carry our last name and all the love that comes with it.More often than not, women are stigmatized for their choice to place their child for adoption. In my experience, however, it was never a lack of love that led women to choose adoption, but an abundance of it. I have seen that it takes immense strength and compassion to choose life for a child and then to selflessly place them in the arms of another, with the hope of giving them a better life.Because of these courageous women, my hopes and prayers of becoming a mother have been answered.PAUL BATURA: THE BEST RISK MY WIFE AND I EVER TOOKWhen we adopted our first son, I can remember sitting in wonder and awe as I looked down at the small life that I rocked slowly in my arms. The precious little boy that I held was not formed in my womb but was my son, nonetheless. I sat in that moment thinking about how special it was, and my heart ached for my son’s birth family, who may never get to experience all that he was. It was then that I decided to have an open adoption. I wanted the brave woman who chose life for this little boy to experience the joy of his smile and the magic that emanated from his laugh.After our first successful open adoption our family was blessed with another little boy. With all the happiness he brought into our home, we knew that we wanted to expand our family yet again.  Osvold family photo. Ashley Oberholtzer Photography
