Historic Breakthroughs as Men Notch Advances Across the Nation

WASHINGTON / April 1, 2026 – This past week witnessed a series of historic advances for men and boys at the state and federal levels:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom convened state leaders in Sacramento to review progress in implementing his whole-of-government Executive Order that he issued last year. Newsom noted, “Today’s convening underscored what’s possible when we come together to support the next generation.” (1)
The Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Boys and Men was launched to create a permanent body to help men and boys. (2)
The Institute for Family Studies issued a landmark, 74-page report on the challenges faced by young men. (3)
The Coalition for an Office on Men’s Health, sponsored by SAVE, was launched consisting of 10 member organizations. The Coalition is working to establish the first-ever office on men’s health in the Department of Health and Human Services. (4)
Representatives from the National Council for Equal Shared Parenting met with federal lawmakers in Washington, DC to discuss the importance of equal shared parenting for fathers. (5)

To date, three bills designed to support men and boys have been introduced in Congress (6):

White House Council on Fathers and Sons Act, H.R. 7800
Dads Matter Act, H.R. 5828 and S. 2131
State of Men’s Health Act, H.R. 7602

In Virginia, SB447 would create an Advisory Commission for Boys and Men. The bill was overwhelmingly approved in the House and Senate, and now awaits final approval by Gov. Abigail Spanberger. (7)

In addition, numerous media reports during the past week highlighted the problem of men as victims of domestic violence. One widely circulated video depicted Taylor Frankie Paul of The Bachelorette and Secret Lives of Mormon Wives hurling a chair at her boyfriend in 2023. (8) Subsequent incidents of alleged abuse by the woman have been reported, as well. (9, 10)

Following the Taylor Frankie Paul episodes, at least two full-length articles have been published about male victims of female-perpetrated abuse:

Lisa Britton, Evie Magazine: “The Side of Domestic Violence Nobody Will Say Out Loud” (11)
Emma Johnson, Best Interest: “Now Mainstream: Women are Violent, Too” (12)

The November mid-term elections are approaching in seven months. In anticipation, SAVE has prepared a PowerPoint program on How to Engage with the Male Voter to Assure Election Victory. (13)

Young Men are Not ‘Lost.’ Rather, They Are Under Assault.

Young Men are Not ‘Lost.’ Rather, They Are Under Assault.

WASHINGTON / March 26, 2026 – No one disputes the fact that men are disengaging from romantic relationships with members of the female sex. The question is, Why? A recent survey by the Institute for Family Studies sheds light on this cultural divide.

The survey queried 2,000 unmarried men ages 18-29 about their dating efforts. One question found that 52% of the men strongly or somewhat agreed with this statement: “I’ve tried to find someone to go out with me, but it has been difficult.” (1)

And 58% of the young men agreed with the statement that “I am reluctant to ask someone out because I fear being rejected.”

In other words, a majority of young men have tried to connect romantically with women, but find themselves confronting a seemingly endless series of dilemmas, such as:

Should he pay for dinner, or split the cost 50-50?
Is he looking for a career woman, even if she wants a “tradwife” relationship?
If he is confident and decisive, will she deride him for being too “macho”?

When men set out in search of a romantic relationship, they also encounter a cultural narrative that ridicules and demeans men. Last year the New York Times published an opinion piece by Jean Garnett with the title, “The Trouble with Wanting Men.”

The commentary opens with this sweeping accusation: “Women are so fed up with dating men that the phenomenon even has a name: heterofatalism.” (2) These are just a few of the article’s make-believe stereotypes:

“men are what is rotten in the state of straightness.”
“Where were the men who could handle hard stuff? Like leaving the house for sex?”
“I experience desire in terms of a struggle that someone must lose.”

In response, Rikki Schlott of the New York Post charged Garnett’s article 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.” (3)

Schlott trenchantly concludes, “outlets like the Times seem hellbent on amplifying the voices of the most bitter and dysfunctional women who bring their misery upon themselves and distract from the actual issues at hand.”

Recent data show men often hold stronger pro-family values than women. Compared to women, men are more likely to view marriage positively (38% vs. 22%), aspire to parenthood (57% vs. 45%), prefer larger families (48% vs. 37%), and identify as pro-life (47% vs. 44%). Men also exhibit lower rates of marital infidelity and divorce initiation. (4)

So the New York Times needs to reconsider its anti-male crusade, and men need to speak out assertively in the face of such editorial drivel.

Half of All Men Say They Are Targets of Sex Discrimination

Half of All Men Say They Are Targets of Sex Discrimination

WASHINGTON / March 11, 2026 – Across the nation, Target stores are selling sweaters emblazoned with the demeaning words, “Dump Him.” Evie magazine writer Lisa Britton commented, “I stood there, staring, feeling a mix of disbelief and frustration. Can you imagine if, in the men’s department, a similar sweater screamed ‘Dump Her’? The backlash would be immediate and deafening.” (1)

Now, American men are beginning to take note of these slights.

The Survey Center on American Life reports men increasingly believe they have been targets of sex discrimination. Since 2019, the percentage of young men who believe there is “some” or “a lot” of discrimination against men has ballooned to 51%, up from only 32% in 2019. (2)

Some may seek to discount these findings, claiming that “patriarchy” still runs rampant in American society. But these partisans ignore the fact that in numerous areas, men are lagging behind women:

Education: 47% of U.S. women ages 25 to 34 have a bachelor’s degree, compared with only 37% of men (3).
Health: Men die more than five years earlier than women (4).
Shared Parenting: Only one-third of divorced fathers share physical custody of their child with the mother (5).

Similar disparities are seen in 12 areas including homelessness, workplace deaths, and many more (6).

But ironically, advocates of “gender equality” only focus on issues that affect women. And feminists are becoming increasingly nervous over the fact that lawmakers are paying greater attention to the concerns of men (7).

Last month, federal lawmakers introduced the State of Men’s Health Act, H.R. 7602, to establish an Office of Men’s Health in the Department of Health and Human Services (8). Currently, DHHS has seven offices of women’s health — and no offices of men’s health. Feminist proponents of “patriarchy” theory have yet to explain the Department’s long-standing neglect of men’s health.

But feminists are pushing back, claiming a resurgence of the dreaded “manosphere.” Within a few days, Netflix – the well-known bastion of gender extremism — will be releasing Inside the Manosphere. The program dismisses the manosphere as a “grim coalition of supercar-worshipping, antifeminist influencers.”

In a recent gushy interview, producer Louis Theroux does not cite a single research study or objective source to back up his flamboyant claims (9). It’s all a mélange of clichés, ideological projection, and over-worked stereotypes. Needless to say, Theroux does not bother to mention the 12 areas of male disadvantage.

Of course, the Netflix video never highlights the growing numbers of women are now speaking out in opposition to the divisive feminist movement – women such as Carrie Gress, Hannah Pearl Davis, Riley Gaines, Shannen Michaela, and many others.

One day, Americans will accept — without hesitation or doubt — the notion that “gender equality” applies equally to men.

USA Hockey Victory Heralds Renaissance of Men and Masculinity

USA Hockey Victory Heralds Renaissance of Men and Masculinity

WASHINGTON / March 4, 2026 – For the last 50 years, American men have been subjected to a wave of criticism and vilification, routinely accused of being abusers, deadbeats, “patriarchal oppressors,” and more. But now men are pushing back, citing research that shows women are equally likely to be domestic abusers (1), and saying there is no such thing as “patriarchy.”

Amidst this toxic cultural narrative, 2,900 athletes, male and female, from 92 countries gathered in Milan, Italy for the 2026 Winter Olympics. On the last day of the 17-day sports extravaganza, the American and Canadian men’s hockey teams met for their long-anticipated championship game.

Just 1:41 into overtime, Jack Hughes scored the game-winning goal, securing the United States’ first Olympic gold in men’s hockey since 1980. The team’s thrilling 2-1 overtime victory stands as a symbol of resilience and determination (2).

In response, feminists became critical of the men, although the exact reasons remain unclear. Some of the backlash may have stemmed from a post-game telephone call from President Donald Trump, who congratulated the players and invited them to visit the White House. Trump jokingly remarked that he had to invite the U.S. women’s team, as well, or else “face impeachment.” (3)

This off-handed comment was perceived by some as dismissive of the women’s accomplishments, leading to criticism on social media. But others wondered if supporters of the women’s team simply were jealous of the attention being afforded to the men.

The controversy escalated when soccer icon Megan Rapinoe weighed in, calling the men’s team “clowns” for allowing themselves to be “co-opted” by Trump (4).

And Jack Hughes faced calls to apologize for his team’s reaction. But Hughes refused to proffer an apology, noting that many of the male and female players had trained together (5).

Over the course of the week, a growing wave of persons rallied in support of the male players:

Characterizing the triumph as “another big, brash win for American men,” writer Glenn Reynolds noted that “masculinity’s comeback makes America thrive.” (6)
Commentator Clay Travis highlighted the men’s unapologetic patriotism, and criticized the media reaction as “woke BS.” (7)
Noting that the male players had attended the women’s game, hockey player Megan Keller commented, “I’ve never been more proud to pull on the USA jersey.” (8)

These plaudits underscore a broader cultural shift.

The USA men’s Olympic hockey victory affirms athletic excellence, and also refutes long-standing, false gender stereotypes.
