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.

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. (9)

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

Growing Momentum Across the Nation to Remedy ‘Crisis’ of Men’s Health

PRESS RELEASE

Growing Momentum Across the Nation to Remedy ‘Crisis’ of Men’s Health

WASHINGTON / February 26, 2026 – Public figures, researchers, and celebrities have described the current state of men’s health as in a state of “crisis.” (1) During a recent radio address, Prince William deplored soaring male suicide rates in the UK as a “national catastrophe.” (2)

For years, men’s health has suffered from a state of benign neglect. But recent developments across the nation reveal a revitalization of concern over the fact that American men are dying five years sooner than women, and suicide rates of men are four times higher (3).

In response, last week the State of Men’s Health Act, H.R. 7602, was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. The law calls for a detailed analysis of the leading causes of male mortality, and will establish an Office of Men’s Health in the Department of Health and Human Services.

In Maryland, last month a bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a bill to establish the Maryland Commission for Boys’ and Men’s Health (4). The bill highlights the importance of men’s health, not only to affirm the fundamental human rights of men, but also to promote economic productivity in the State of Maryland.

The crisis of men’s health is being addressed in other states, as well:

  • California: Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order last July to address high suicide rates among men and boys (5).
  • Virginia: SB 447, recently passed in both the Senate and House, establishes the Virginia Boys and Men Advisory Commission, and calls for eliminating the “disparity in health outcomes.” (6)
  • Washington State: House Bill 2401 highlights the importance of men’s health. (7)

In November, the American Medical Association approved a resolution urging states to establish offices of men’s health. The resolution states, “Our AMA encourages the establishment of an Office of Men’s Health within each state’s Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate awareness, outreach, and outcomes on men’s health.” (8)

In Congress, the Dads Matter Act has been introduced both in the Senate (S. 2131) and House of Representatives (H.R. 5828). The Dads Matter Act will encourage fathers of newborns and fathers-to-be to become actively involved in promoting the welfare of both the mother and child.

But funding for research on male-specific diseases such as prostate cancer has lagged, compared to funding for female-specific conditions. Over the years, 14% of the NIH research budget has been allocated for women’s health, with only 6% allocated to men’s health (9).

The men’s health issue goes beyond considerations of morbidity and mortality. When an older man dies prematurely, his surviving wife faces a higher likelihood of nursing home admission (1).

Premature male mortality cost $697 billion in 2020 alone, in terms of diminished economic productivity of men:

  • Suicide: $387 billion (10)
  • Cardiovascular disease and stroke: $234 billion (11)
  • Cancer: $76 billion (12)

Men’s Health Week will be celebrated during the week leading up to Father’s Day, June 14-20 (13)). SAVE urges lawmakers consider their male family members, friends, and colleagues as they redouble efforts to eliminate the crisis of men’s health.

AOC Remarks About Men are Negating Democrat Efforts to Reconnect with Male Voters

AOC Remarks About Men are Negating Democrat Efforts to Reconnect with Male Voters

WASHINGTON / February 23, 2026 – Male voters are the new “power demographic” of the American electorate (1). During the 2024 presidential election, 4.5 million male voters abandoned the Democratic Party, handing the election victory to Donald Trump. (2)

In response, the Democratic governors of California, Maryland, and Michigan launched new outreach programs for men and boys. And Virginia Democrats advanced a bill to create an Advisory Commission for Boys and Men (3).

But not all Democrats are on board with this outreach effort. In particular, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez of New York has made inflammatory statements that denigrate men and masculinity, and serve to polarize the debate:

During a CNN interview, AOC emphatically insisted that Republicans “are able to radicalize and target and exploit a generation of young boys, in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires a domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker or a different gender than them.” (4)

But AOC did not back up her impassioned claims with any survey findings, credible reports, or even a single anecdote. Her statements carried all the credibility of a make-believe fairytale.

In response, media commentators excoriated AOC for her claims:

Media star Megyn Kelly issued this riposte (5):

“Let’s be perfectly clear: There was, indeed, one party that radicalized today’s young men and it was yours, madam. It was yours who blamed them for literally everything just because they were born male. Your side demonized them at every turn and laughed when they ever dared to express any actual pain at the circumstances that they were forced into, through no fault of their own. It is absolutely disgusting for her to now say it is the Republican Party, which came to their rescue, that ‘radicalized them.’”

Writer Sadie_NC, who boasts 300,000 Twitter followers, explained (6):

“Masculinity isn’t ‘radical;’ its what built America, won wars, protected families, and the country from turning into a weak, crying mess. The left wants soft, confused, compliant boys. We want strong, responsible MEN. The hatred for actual manhood is actually insane. NO MORE ATTACKING MASCULINITY. Real men make America strong. Weak men make it fall. Bring back the real ones!”

And commentator Lisa Britton posted (7):

“Since the last election, many leaders in the Democratic Party have really stepped up their efforts to address the issues of boys, men and fathers….Yet, people like AOC are continuing to push the same messaging that encouraged men to move to the Right. If their rhetoric like this continues, I believe the Democrats will all lose again, big time.”

If Democratic leaders aspire to have a strong showing during the upcoming November elections, they need to tell AOC to refrain from making her divisive – some would say, hateful — comments about men and masculinity.

New Program Outlines Strategies to Reach Male Voters for Election Success

New Program Outlines Strategies to Reach Male Voters for Election Success

WASHINGTON / February 18, 2026 – Male voters have been described as the new “Power Demographic” (1). Accordingly, President Donald Trump achieved his election victory in November 2024 in large part as a result of the support of young men. Trump scored impressive gains among all four racial and ethnic groups, largely due to a wave of support from 18 to 29 year-old men.

Compared to the 2020 election, gains among male voters across four key demographics were documented (2):

  • Whites: 4-point gain
  • Blacks: 8-point gain
  • Latinos: 12-point gain
  • Asians: 6-point gain

Following the election, Democrat governors of California, Connecticut, Maryland, and Michigan established new programs (3), and, in January, the Republican governor of Utah convened a Men and Boys Well-being Symposium (4).

Other notable developments include:

  • Bills supportive of men’s issues have been recently introduced in Colorado, Virginia, and Washington State (5).
  • Men’s health is receiving greater attention, as the American Medical Association approved a resolution last November calling on states to establish offices of men’s health (6). On January 19, House Bill 341 was introduced to establish a Maryland Commission for Boys’ and Men’s Health (7).
  • A number of states have introduced shared parenting bills with a presumption of joint custody.

Now, candidates are planning for the November 2026 elections and developing strategies to attract the male electorate. In support of these efforts, SAVE has developed a how-to presentation titled, “How to Engage with the Male Voter to Assure Election Victory.”

The 22-slide PowerPoint presentation covers:

  1. Why men represent the new “Power Demographic”
  2. Lessons learned from the 2024 presidential election
  3. Recommended strategies to secure election victory in 2026

The program is suitable for viewing by individual candidates or by teams of political activists. The program is available at no charge on the SAVE website (8).

Editorial Dishonesty at the Root of Washington Post’s Financial Woes

Editorial Dishonesty at the Root of Washington Post’s Financial Woes

WASHINGTON / February 10, 2026 – Last Wednesday the Washington Post announced its long-awaited decision to lay off more than 300 editors and reporters. The purge will eliminate the paper’s sports section, several foreign bureaus, and books coverage. The outlet lost an estimated $100 million in 2024, according to The Wall Street Journal (1).

Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE) views the move as self-inflicted, largely the result of staffers who glossed over scientific truth in favor of a politically acceptable version of events.

The US Centers for Disease Control reports that each year, there are more male victims than female victims of partner abuse (2):

  • 6.5 million male victims
  • 5.7 million female victims

But repeatedly, the Washington Post published accounts that ignored the research and proffered a one-sided version of the truth that ignored male victims. One editorial, authored by actress Amber Heard, later resulted in Heard’s agreement to pay $1 million to Johnny Depp for defamation (3).

Following is a listing of many of the untruthful articles that appeared in the Washington Post over the years(4):

  1. May 10, 2013: “Conference Shines Light on Plight of Battered Mothers Seeking Custody.”
  2. December 29, 2021: “The Pandemic Caused a Global Surge in Domestic Violence. For Victims with Few Options, Abuse has Become the New Normal.”
  3. January 18, 2022: “Senators are Pushing to Reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. Will it Help Indigenous Communities?”
  4. February 17, 2022: “More than 1 in 4 Women Have Experienced Domestic Violence in Their Lifetimes, Global Study Finds.”
  5. October 20, 2022: “Domestic Violence Victim Advocates on Case Uptick During Pandemic.”
  6. January 3, 2023: “Climate Change Puts More Women at Risk for Domestic Violence.”

Leading researchers have repeatedly recognized the similar levels of male and female perpetrated domestic violence. California State University researcher Martin Fiebert reviewed 343 scholarly investigations in over 40 countries and concluded, “women are as physically aggressive as men (or more) in their relationships with their spouses or opposite-sex partners.” (5)

But to this day, even reputable organizations such as the World Health Organization publish reports that ignore the problem of female-perpetrated domestic violence (6).

Reporters need to take a balanced and science-based approach in covering the domestic violence issue.

WA, UT, CO, and VA Latest States to Launch Initiatives to Address Disparities of Men and Boys

WA, UT, CO, and VA Latest States to Launch Initiatives to Address Disparities of Men and Boys

WASHINGTON / February 4, 2026 – “This bill is deeply personal to me. As the widow of a man who committed suicide and as the mother of a Black son, seeing our boys and men thrive in the community is at the utmost top-of-mind for me each and every day.”

This powerful statement was delivered on January 23 by Washington State Rep. April Berg in support of House Bill 2401, designed to establish a commission on boys and men. Rep. Berg is the lead sponsor of the bill, which already has 19 co-sponsors (1).

The Washington bill is the fourth state-level initiative unveiled in 2026 that is intended to give a boost to men and boys:

Utah: On January 8 Utah Gov. Spencer Cox convened a Men and Boys Well-being Symposium. The event revealed that nationwide, only 64% of men Strongly or Somewhat Agree with the statement, “I understand my purpose in life,” and 30% of men say they don’t have someone to talk with about their mental health (2).

Colorado: The Parental Equality and Child Empowerment Act (PEACE) Act was introduced on January 14 by Sen. Lynda Zamora Wilson. The proposed PEACE Act will establish a rebuttable presumption of equal shared parenting for fathers and mothers (3).

Virginia: On January 14, Del. Josh Thomas introduced HB1188, which establishes a Virginia Boys and Men Advisory Commission. The body is expected to advise on “issues of concern, including education inequity, economic opportunities, disparity in health outcomes, and the impact of social media use.” (4)

These initiatives built on a series of state-level initiatives unveiled in 2025 to advance men and boys:

California: Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order in July to support young men and boys, and to reduce male suicide rates. Newsom observed, “Too many young men and boys are suffering in silence — disconnected from community, opportunity, and even their own families.” (5)

Maryland: During his 2025 State of the State Address, Gov. Wes Moore announced an “all-of-government” effort to “uplift our men and boys.” Proposed efforts include strengthening recruitment of male educators, establishing partnerships, and more (6).

Michigan: Last month, with the support of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential hosted its first Moving Michigan Males Forward Convening to address the urgent challenges facing men across the state (7).

Men’s health has attracted bipartisan attention in recent months, as well. In December the American Medical Association passed a resolution in support of the establishment of offices of men’s health (8).

Men are lagging behind women in 12 major areas (9). SAVE urges lawmakers to continue to strengthen their focus on erasing the many disparities that affect men and boys.

Inexorable, Growing Political Support for Men and Boys Around the Country

WASHINGTON / January 16, 2026 – The past year has witnessed a series of bold new initiatives for men and boys established by Governors Gavin Newsom (CA), Wes Moore (MD), Gretchen Whitmer (MI), and others (1). Last month, for example, the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP) hosted its first Moving Michigan Males Forward Convening to address the urgent challenges facing men across the state (2).

Now Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has joined the list, as the Sutherland Institute convened a Men and Boys Well-being Symposium on January 8. The event spotlighted male health, vocation, and purpose.

The event revealed that nationwide, only 64% of men Strongly or Somewhat Agree with the statement, “I understand my purpose in life,” and 30% of men say they don’t have someone to talk with about their mental health (3).

On January 14, 2026, Chief Patron Del. Josh Thomas introduced HB1188, that (4): “Establishes the Virginia Boys and Men Advisory Commission as an advisory commission in the legislative branch of state government for the purpose of advising the General Assembly on issues of concern, including education inequity, economic opportunities, disparity in health outcomes, and the impact of social media use, as such issues relate to boys and men in the Commonwealth.”

Men’s health has attracted considerable bipartisan attention in recent months:

  • In Congress, the Dads Matter Act of 2025 has been introduced both in the Senate (S. 2131) and House (H.R. 5828).
  • In June, President Donald Trump issued a message that revealed, “For far too long, the health, happiness, and well-being of our Nation’s men have been neglected, contributing to a troubling reality: men in the United States have a life expectancy five years shorter than women.” (5)
  • In late November, the American Medical Association approved a resolution that affirms, “Our AMA encourages the establishment of an Office of Men’s Health within each state’s Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate awareness, outreach, and outcomes on men’s health.” (6)

Men are lagging behind women in 12 major areas (7). As state legislatures commence their 2026 sessions, SAVE urges lawmakers to continue to strengthen our national focus on erasing the many disparities affecting men.

American Medical Association Passes Resolution to Establish Offices of Men’s Health

American Medical Association Passes Resolution to Establish Offices of Men’s Health

WASHINGTON / December 3, 2025 – The American Medical Association has just approved a historic resolution urging states to establish offices of men’s health. The resolution states, “Our AMA encourages the establishment of an Office of Men’s Health within each state’s Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate awareness, outreach, and outcomes on men’s health.” (1)

Previously, the AMA had approved a resolution to create an Office of Men’s Health at the federal level (2).

To date, public health departments in three states have established such programs:

  • Connecticut Department of Public Health – Men’s Health Program (3)
  • Illinois Department of Public Health — Men’s Health Section, opened in 2023 (4)
  • North Dakota Health and Human Services — Men’s Health Program (5)

In 1994, President Bill Clinton signed P.L. 103-268 into law, officially recognizing the week proceeding Father’s Day in June as Men’s Health Week. Subsequently, hundreds of cities, states, and Indian tribes have issued proclamations in support of the observance. (6)

During the past year, men’s health has enjoyed a surge of bipartisan support. In Congress, the Dads Matter Act of 2025 has been introduced both in the Senate (S. 2131) and House (H.R. 5828). In June, President Donald Trump issued a Presidential Message that revealed, “For far too long, the health, happiness, and well-being of our Nation’s men have been neglected, contributing to a troubling reality: men in the United States have a life expectancy five years shorter than women.” (7)

At the state level, both Gov. Gavin Newsom of California (8) and Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland (9) have spoken out passionately about the mental health crisis facing men.

Over the years, males have comprised only 42% of participants in National Institutes of Health research trials (10). Likewise, funding for research on male-specific diseases lags behind funding for female-specific conditions. Each year, 14% of the NIH research budget goes toward women’s health, and only 6% is allocated to men’s health (11)

Men die five years sooner than women, and the suicide rates of men are three times higher than women’s (12). SAVE urges lawmakers to continue to expand our national focus on improving the health of men.

Republicans Must Stop the Scapegoating and Shaming of Men

Republicans Must Stop the Scapegoating and Shaming of Men

WASHINGTON / November 5, 2025 – Men have become the new power demographic of the American electorate (1). Indeed, men played a decisive role in swaying the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.

But inexplicably, a number of Republicans have issued pointed criticisms of men that are divisive, baseless, and even hysterical:

Rep. Nancy Mace, South Carolina: Mace vilifies men on a regular basis. In February, she accused three men of sexual abuse, triggering a defamation lawsuit against her (2).

Last Thursday, Mace arrived at the Charleston airport in a car with a different color, causing a mix-up with the male security agents. Mace went on a 10-minute tirade, calling the men “f***ing incompetent.” (3)  The tirade evolved into a four-day meltdown featuring hastily-called press conferences and denunciations by Republicans and Democrats alike. Journalist Karly Kingsley finally advised, “Therapy, Nancy. Try it.” (4)

Rep. Harriet Hageman, Wyoming: Hageman has issued numerous social media messages that seek to ridicule what she refers to as “weak men.” On September 18, she wrote, “weak men create hard times….Men who won’t secure the border.” (5)

Hageman apparently forgot that during the previous Administration, Vice President Kamala Harris had been appointed as the “Border Czar” to stop illegal immigration, a responsibility that she completely failed to fulfill. When will Hageman begin to refer to Harris as a “weak woman”?

Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene, Georgia: In response to being criticized for appearing on The View in October, Greene charged, “There are pathetic Republican men…attacking me.” Previously, Greene had issued a statement that emasculated Republican men for allegedly being “weak.” (6)

But many Republicans view Greene as a loose cannon who is a “thorn in the GOP’s side” and a “low-IQ soccer mom.” Laura Loomer once labeled her a “sellout” and “traitor.” (7)

Heritage President Kevin Roberts: In a recent interview about combatting anti-semitism, Roberts explained, “We are so concerned about that problem as a political issue, because we’re talking [about] at least several million young men.” (8)

But every major survey reveals men are more pro-Israeli than women. Men tend to sympathize with Israelis over Palestinians, view Israel favorably, support sending arms to Israel, and approve of Israel’s military actions. These surveys show men are 8–12 percentage points more likely than women to side with Israel (9).

So why did Roberts decide to single out men for criticism?

Wendy Wang, Institute for Family Studies: On August 25, Wang issued a report with the highly misleading headline, “Men with Prestigious Jobs Are More Likely to Cheat.” A more honest title would have read, “14% of Wives — and Only 11% of Husbands — Report Having Sex Outside of Marriage.” (10)

Indeed, more detailed analyses reveal that men are more likely than women to embrace a broad range of pro-family values and beliefs (11):

  1. Commitment to the Goals of Marriage: Men are more likely than women to agree that married persons are more likely to find happiness: Men: 38%; Women: 22%.
  2. Parental Aspirations: Single young men are more likely than their female counterparts to aspire to become a parent. Men: 57%; Women: 45%.
  3. Intimate Partner Violence: Men are more likely than women to be victims of domestic violence. Each year: Male victims: 5.5 million; Female victims: 4.8 million.
  4. Divorce: Husbands initiate 31 % of all divorces, while wives seek 69% of divorces.

The evidence is clear: men are the backbone of strong families and healthy societies (12). So why are so many Republicans trying to turn men into dupes and fools?
