Gender Equality for Men: Efforts to Help Males Gain Momentum

July 23, 2026 — In the past week, three notable political developments highlighted a growing national trend to address the disadvantages facing American men:

Last Wednesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a new Pentagon policy to screen service members 30 years and older for testosterone deficiency. Hegseth described the initiative as “restoring and optimizing your natural capabilities, protecting your longevity,” and keeping troops on the “leading edge of lethality” for combat readiness. (1)
Two days later, Sen. Mark Kelley (D-Arizona) and John Curtis (R-Utah) introduced the Building Community in America Act to promote public service among men (2).
Three days later on Monday, the Virginia Advisory Commission for Boys and Men (3) held its first meeting since its establishment in April. The hearing featured presentations on male educational under-achievement (4).

Men are lagging behind women on a broad range of indicators — from longevity to educational attainment, from occupational mortality to homelessness, and many others (5). Leaders in both parties are beginning to respond.

Here are key bills and actions taken in recent months in Congress and in states across the country:

Mental Health: On July 1, Maryland Gov. Moore issued an impassioned call for greater attention to men’s mental health. “States must lead in the effort to combat young men’s loneliness, despair, and disengagement,” he penned (6).

State of Men’s Health Act: The closely watched bill, HR 7602, would establish an Office of Men’s Health in the Department of Health and Human Services. The bill has 14 co-sponsors (7 Republicans and 7 Democrats). Currently DHHS maintains seven offices of women’s health — and none for men’s health.

Fatherhood and Maternal Health: In June, Congress introduced the Dads Matter Act, S. 2131 and H.R. 5828, to encourage expectant fathers to become more engaged in their partners’ pregnancies.

Shared Parenting: Shared parenting bills were recently enacted or signed into law in two states — Louisiana (HB 1239) and Mississippi (HB 1662). In the past 12 months similar bills have been introduced in 10 other states to create a rebuttable presumption of equal parenting time following divorce: Arizona, California, Colorado, Michigan, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Vermont, and Wyoming.

State-Level Executive Branch Actions: Governors have taken notable steps in recent months:

California: Gov. Newsom Gavin issued an Executive Order to support young men and boys. (7)
Maryland: A $19 million investment to support men to become school teachers (8).
Michigan: The first “Moving Michigan Males Forward” convening was held on December 3, 2025 (9).
Utah: On January 8, 2026, Gov. Spencer Cox convened a Men and Boys Well-being Symposium. (10).

For years, government programs have focused primarily on supporting women, which has increasingly left men at a disadvantage. Now, the principle of “gender equality” is being applied more evenly — for the benefit of men as well.

Feminists Amass Billions as They Spread Falsehoods About Medical Research

Feminists Amass Billions as They Spread Falsehoods About Medical Research

July 20, 2026 — This past Wednesday a group of women gathered in Washington, DC to propose a $20 billion, taxpayer-funded project to close the “woman’s health gap” (1). Inexplicably, no one at the event mentioned the most glaring health gap of all — the fact that men are dying five years sooner than women.

In attendance at the event was Dr. Vivian Pinn, former director of the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health. Dr. Pinn was one of the women who had schemed to convince Congress that women’s health research was being shortchanged. “The exclusion of some women in clinical research may sometimes be valid, but not all the women all the time,” Pinn claimed, without evidence, in her widely-cited 1993 article (2).

After her misleading article was published, a group of citizens requested a meeting with Dr. Pinn in her NIH office. “The data don’t support your conclusion,” the group charged. In response, Dr. Pinn offered this implausible explanation: “They misquoted me.”

End of discussion.

In 2001, an in-depth analysis of NIH research concluded that in fact, Dr. Pinn had misrepresented the truth. It was men, not women who had been underrepresented in the NIH research portfolio (3).

Indeed, extensive analyses have been conducted to nail down the elusive “woman’s health gap.” Dr. James Nuzzo reviewed government records to analyze sex-specific participation in NIH research. He found from 1995 to 2022, women composed 58% of all participants in NIH clinical trials (4) – no female underrepresentation to be found there.

But these facts haven’t dissuaded women’s health advocates from continuing their fictitious campaign:

The National Strategy to Close the Women’s Health Gap, which is now seeking $20 billion from American taxpayers, asserts, “for decades [women’s] health needs across conditions and stages of life have been understudied and underserved.” (5)
The Society for Women’s Health Research claims on its website, “Historically, women have been underrepresented in clinical research.” (6)

Neither report provided any details to back up their representations, such as the dates of the purported exclusion, the affected diseases, and the degree of the underrepresentation. These important details were left to the fevered imagination of the feminist activists.

Now, the “excluded and under-represented” theme has become embedded into a broader social narrative. An AI search concludes, “The claim that women were ‘excluded’ or ‘underrepresented’ in NIH-funded (or broader biomedical) research appears thousands of times across academic literature, reports, news articles, and policy documents.” (7)

Women’s health researchers have profited handsomely from the falsehood. Since 1993, women’s health research-related spending has been in the range of $80–120 billion (7), Women’s health has enjoyed more than twice as much dedicated funding as men’s health: 14% vs. 6% of the total NIH budget (8).

Medical research is supposed to be dedicated to the unfettered quest for objective truth. It is outrageous and wrong that our society has allowed a group of partisans to usurp the women’s health agenda, while men are allowed to die five years before their time without a murmur of protest.

$20 Billion: Latest Scare-Tactic of the Women’s Health Lobby

$20 Billion: Latest Scare-Tactic of the Women’s Health Lobby

July 13, 2026 — On nearly every health indicator, men are lagging behind women. Men are dying five years sooner, account for the vast majority of workplace deaths, and face suicide rates 3-4 times higher than women.

Despite these disparities, public health programs continue to devote far more resources to women’s health than to men’s health:

The federal Department of Health and Human Services maintains 7 offices of women’s health — and zero offices of men’s health (1).
Each year the National Institutes of Health allocates 2-3 times more funding for women’s research than men’s health research (2).
Every state public health department operates a program focused on women’s or maternal health, yet only three states – Illinois, Connecticut, and North Dakota – have offices of men’s health (3).

In past decades, women’s health advocates blocked efforts to address men’s health by claiming — falsely — that women had been “excluded” and “underrepresented” from medical research.

In 1993, the editor of the New England Journal of Medicine made the categorical – and spurious — claim that “There is little doubt that women have been systematically excluded as subjects for study.” And LaRosa and Pinn lamented, “The exclusion of some women from clinical studies may sometimes be valid, but not all the women all the time.” (4)

Subsequent analyses have thoroughly debunked these assertions. A Government Accountability Office report revealed, “GAO found that women were a majority of the clinical trial participants in the new drug applications (NDA) it examined, and that every NDA included enough women in the pivotal studies to be able to statistically demonstrate that the drug is effective in women.” More recent data show that women accounted for 58% of all participants in NIH-funded research over the past 28 years — clear evidence against claims of under-representation (5).

Today, momentum is building to establish the first-ever Office of Men’s Health in the Department of Health and Human Services. Legislation (H.R. 7602) has been introduced in Congress. And DHHS Assistant Secretary for Health Brian Christine has expounded on the “crisis” of men’s health (6).

Yet the women’s health lobby continues to promote the same discredited narrative. The Society for Women’s Health Research, for example, claims that women remain “often underrepresented and inadequately considered in medical and public health research.” (7)

On July 15, the group and its partners will publicly release a proposal in Washington, DC to close what they falsely call the “women’s health gap” — at an estimated cost of $20 billion to American taxpayers (8).

Americans rightly take pride in the world-class universities and research institutions located in the United States. It is troubling when advocacy organizations exploit false claims of “exclusion” and “under-representation” to justify imposing a $20 billion burden on taxpayers. A more balanced and evidence-based approach to public health programs is long overdue (9).

Democratic Socialist Leader: ‘Our goal is communism.’

Democratic Socialist Leader: ‘Our goal is communism.’

July 6, 2026 — Following last November’s victory of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City, democratic-socialism has gained visibility and momentum in the United States. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the country’s largest socialist organization, currently with over 116,000 members.

However, many Americans remain skeptical. A Pew Research Center poll released last month found that 38% of Americans dislike political leaders who identify as democratic socialists, while only 17% like them. Among Democrats, 32% view such leaders favorably, 11% view them unfavorably, and a majority (56%) say they neither like nor dislike them (1).

What is “democratic socialism”? The Democratic Socialists of America vaguely describes its philosophy as “a system where ordinary people have a real voice in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and society.” The website goes on say the DSA is working for “single-payer Medicare for All, defunding the police/refunding communities, [and] the Green New Deal.” (2)

The DSA website also declares, “We want to collectively own the key economic drivers that dominate our lives, such as energy production and transportation.” “Collectively” generally means “government-owned.”

If any doubt remains about the DSA’s long-term goals, David Jenkins, a member of DSA’s National Political Committee, has publicly stated, “Our goal is liberation. Our goal is communism.” (3)

The DSA promotes feminist ideology and programs on several fronts:

Political Platform refers to DSA as a “socialist feminist organization.” (4)
The Queer & Feminist Commission (QFC) (5)
Numerous chapter-level feminist groups (6)
Educational initiatives such as “100 Days of Socialism: Socialist-Feminism” (7)

Democratic socialists will be on the ballot in numerous localities in November, including Nithya Raman in Los Angeles; Melat Kiros (CO-1); Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12); Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14); Claire Valdez (NY-7); Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13); Chris Rabb (PA-3); and Janeese Lewis George in Washington, DC.

While the Democratic Socialists of America has faced strong criticism, only a handful of Democrats have signed the Promise to America pledge declaring, “we are capitalist, not socialist.” (8)

The future influence of the Democratic Socialists of America will likely depend on the level of opposition from mainstream Democrats, and by the response of voters in November.
