Men’s Health and the Rise of Female Supremacism

July 30, 2026 — American men die an average of 5 years sooner than women. The annual toll of premature male mortality is staggering in its impact on women and children:

700,000–800,000 women become widows each year following the death of their husbands (1),.This places the women at elevated risk of poverty (2), three times greater risk of being placed in a nursing home (3), and a 48% greater risk of widowhood mortality (4).
About 300,000 children annually lose their father due to premature male mortality (5), resulting in an array of educational, economic, and behavioral problems (6).

Given these facts, one would expect men’s health to rank as a high national priority. Sadly, it does not.

From 2000 to 2023, a total of 15 bills to advance men’s health have been introduced in every session of Congress. Despite solid bipartisan support, not a single one received a floor vote or was enacted into law. (7)

In the current session, the State of Men’s Health Act, HR 7602, was introduced to establish an Office of Men’s Health. Thus far, the bill has only 16 co-sponsors.

In sharp contrast, women’s health has become firmly institutionalized throughout the Department of Health and Human Services. Seven offices of women’s health currently operate at an annual cost to taxpayers of over $150 million:

National Institutes of Health
OASH Office of Women’s Health
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
Food and Drug Administration
Centers for Disease Control
Health Resources and Services Administration

There is a clear reason why DHHS has zero offices of men’s health — the powerful women’s health lobby is adamantly opposed to the idea.

In June, the Coalition for Men’s Health emailed each of the seven women’s health offices listed above, asking a simple question: “Do you support the establishment of an Office of Men’s Health in the Department of Health and Human Services?” The email requested only a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer.

Weeks later, not a single office of women’s health had replied. As the aloof Queen Marie Antoinette famously retorted, “Let them eat cake.”

In addition, the women’s health lobby has perpetuated the myth that women were routinely “excluded” and “under-represented” from medical research, a claim repeatedly and definitively shown to be false (8, 9).

How do we explain an ideology that once claimed to champion “gender equality,” yet now opposes even basic programs to help men live longer, healthier lives?

The answer lies in the feminist literature that increasingly espouses a philosophy of female supremacism:

UN Women Executive Director Sima Bahous has repeatedly emphasized that “Women and girls must be central to humanitarian action.” (10)
Mads Larsen and colleagues have argued that “it is crucial to acknowledge that female emancipation required a return to the marginalization of the least sought-after men.” (11)
The World Health Organization openly calls for “Putting Women First” in domestic violence research (12).

Men, women, and children all benefit when men are healthier. But first, our society must confront the rise of female supremacism.
