The ‘Man Crisis:’ Feminists Are Telling the Exact Opposite of the Truth

WASHINGTON / August 13, 2025 – This past Saturday the Washington Post published an article with the uncompromising title, “What’s Wrong with Men?” (1) Resorting to the flawed logic so common in contemporary feminist discourse, author Jessa Crispin starts with fictional Michael Douglas movies from the 1980s and 1990s, using them to reach dystopian conclusions about American men 40 years later.

For decades, feminists have been claiming that women live under an oppressive patriarchy. But then the truth came out: Men are lagging behind women in 12 major areas, such as health, education, treatment by the legal system, homelessness, and more (2).

For feminists reluctant to relinquish their hard-earned victim status, the November elections delivered another jolt of unwelcome news: Men had become the new “power demographic” of the American electorate (3).

Within weeks of the election, Democratic and Republican lawmakers began to issue statements supportive of men. These persons include president Donald Trump and former president Barack Obama, as well as Democratic governors Ned Lamont (CT); Wes Moore (MD); Gavin Newsom (CA); and Gretchen Whitmer (MI). (4)

Members of Congress also chimed in with words of encouragement: Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO); Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS); Sen. Warnock (D-GA); Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL); Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA); Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), and Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT).

In contrast to these statements of support, recent months have seen a noticeable increase in vitriolic statements by self-described feminists:

Hopes of misery for male Trump voters: “make the lives of men who voted for Trump miserable.” (5)
Extreme suggestions like “poisoning” men who voted for Trump. (6)
Smears labeling Trump supporters as “racist, sexist, misogynistic” and calls to “eliminate” them. (7)

The “man crisis” is being exacerbated by a worsening anti-male animus in the legacy media. Within the past month, the New York Times ran three opinion pieces openly hostile to men:

The ‘Boy Crisis’ is Overblown (8)
Why Women are Weary of the Emotional Labor of ‘Man-keeping’ (9)
The Trouble with Wanting Men (10)

In response, women are pushing back against the wave of irrational misandry.

Rikki Schlott of the New York Post charged the NYT op-ed, The Trouble with Wanting Men, is “part of a genre of man-hating thought pieces that turn hetero love and dating into an all-out gender war — and totally absolve women of any agency or responsibility in their relationships.” (11)

Lisa Britton revealed, “It’s increasingly evident that many of my critics aren’t seeking fairness, valuing the sexes equally, mutual respect or gender harmony. Instead, they appear to want female dominance and retribution for past injustices.” (12)

If we want to solve the “man crisis,” we first need to curb the epidemic of anti-male invective.
