Media and Policy Momentum Builds for Men and Boys

October 1, 2025 – In a stunning development, media outlets — both liberal and conservative — have begun to address the long-overlooked crisis affecting men and boys. The following stories were published or aired in just the past two weeks:

1. On September 29, Fox News’ Jesse Watters devoted a segment to masculinity, noting that “Americans like watching men be men, competitive, tough, and violent.” Watters also interviewed former White House staffer Edward Coristine, who recounted the night he was brutally beaten while walking his friend back to her car. (1)

2. This past week, President Bill Clinton and California Governor Gavin Newsome appeared on C-SPAN to discuss the crisis of men and boys, among other topics. Newsome emphasized, “Look at every critical category — it’s just blinking red lights” for men. (2)

3. Journalist Lisa Britton published an article on September 24 in the Los Angeles Times that noted, “boys and men are facing crises that have been ignored for too long, and it’s time we extend our empathy to them.” (3).

4. CNN’s Michael Smerconish devoted an entire broadcast to exploring male-specific challenges—including rising suicides, collapsing college enrollment, and the inability to purchase a home—signaling a cultural readiness to address male disadvantage (4).

5. Media commentator Gilda Carle urged viewers to “recognize the emotional and relational needs of boys with the same seriousness we show girls.” She emphasized the importance of male role models, fatherhood involvement, and early childhood support programs tailored to boys’ developmental needs (5).

6. A recent City Journal article warns that core masculine virtues like strength, responsibility, and fatherhood are being eroded by cultural hostility toward masculinity. Reviving these values, it argues, is essential to restoring stability in families and communities (6).

The growing media attention is beginning to translate into policy initiatives. California, Maryland, and Connecticut, have taken groundbreaking actions in recent months. California advanced legislation to better support fathers during custody proceedings. Maryland launched a new initiative addressing male mental health and suicide prevention. Connecticut approved funding to study and address the growing education gap affecting boys (7).

SAVE notes that research continues to debunk old narratives. Contrary to stereotypes, men hold stronger pro-family values than women. Men are more committed to marriage, parenting, are more pro-life, and are less likely to engage in child abuse, infidelity, or divorce (8).

Vladimir Lenin, Feminist Visionary

Grok: https://x.com/i/grok?conversation=1972003589943099432

September 27, 2025

Vladimir Lenin, as a Marxist revolutionary, viewed feminism primarily through the lens of class struggle, emphasizing the liberation of women as part of the broader socialist revolution. He believed that women’s oppression was rooted in the capitalist system and that true emancipation required dismantling class structures. Below are key points summarizing Lenin’s views on feminism, supported by citations from his writings and speeches:

Women’s Emancipation and Socialism: Lenin argued that women’s liberation could only be achieved through socialism, as capitalism perpetuated their economic and social subjugation. In his 1919 speech to the First All-Russia Congress of Working Women, he stated:
“The status of women up to now has been compared to that of a slave; women have been tied to the home, and only socialism can save them from this.”
(Source: Lenin, V.I., “The Tasks of the Working Women’s Movement in the Soviet Republic,” 1919, Collected Works, Vol. 30, p. 43)
Critique of Bourgeois Feminism: Lenin was critical of feminist movements that focused solely on gender equality without addressing class oppression. He saw such “bourgeois feminism” as limited, benefiting only upper-class women while ignoring the plight of working-class women. In a conversation with Clara Zetkin, a German Marxist, he remarked:
“The feminist movement, the real feminist movement, is a mass movement of proletarian women… The bourgeois women’s movement does not want to and cannot take up the fight for the real emancipation of women.”
(Source: Zetkin, Clara, “Lenin on the Women’s Question,” 1920, recalling Lenin’s views)
Practical Measures for Women’s Liberation: Lenin advocated for practical steps to alleviate women’s burdens, such as communal kitchens, nurseries, and legal equality, to enable their participation in socialist society. In his 1920 article, he wrote:
“To effect the complete emancipation of women and to make them really equal with men, we must have a social economy, and the participation of women in general productive labor.”
(Source: Lenin, V.I., “On International Women’s Day,” 1920, Collected Works, Vol. 30, p. 408)
Women’s Role in the Revolution: Lenin emphasized the importance of women in revolutionary work, urging their active involvement in building socialism. In a 1920 message to working women, he said:
“Every working woman must become a conscious fighter for socialism, for only socialism will bring women complete equality and liberation.”
(Source: Lenin, V.I., “To the Working Women,” 1920, Collected Works, Vol. 30, p. 407)

Context and Analysis:

Lenin’s views on feminism were not about gender equality in isolation but about integrating women’s liberation into the broader Marxist framework. He saw capitalism as the root of women’s oppression, with domestic labor and economic dependence reinforcing their subjugation. His focus was on mobilizing women for the socialist cause, encouraging their participation in labor and political life while criticizing feminist movements that did not challenge the class system.

Snowball Effect Following Obama Endorsement of Enhanced Programs for Men and Boys

Snowball Effect Following Obama Endorsement of Enhanced Programs for Men and Boys

September 22, 2025 – On July 16, former president Barack Obama spoke out on the need to develop tailored programs for young males. In heartfelt manner, he recounted:

“We rightly have tried to invest in girls to make sure that there’s a level playing field, and they’re not barred from opportunities. But we haven’t been as willing, I think, to be intentional about investing in the boys. And that’s been a mistake. And I think people are starting to recognize that. … [T]he public at large that’s starting to see like, hey, we gotta do better by our boys.” (1)

Obama’s statement inspired other Democratic leaders to take action.

Two weeks later, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont issued a Proclamation recognizing International Falsely Accused Awareness Day, which took place on September 9. The Proclamation urged reflection on “fairness, truth, and justice in the legal system,” noting that many Americans have experienced or know someone who has experienced a false accusation (2). According to a recent YouGov survey, falsely accused men outnumber falsely accused women by a two-to-one margin (3).

Last Tuesday, September 16, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom established an ambitious and unprecedented California Men’s Service Challenge. The Challenge calls on 10,000 men around California to mentor, coach, and tutor. The Challenge consists of alliances with Big Brothers Big Sisters, Mentor California, the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles, the Giants Community Fund, and the American Institute for Boys and Men (4).

That very same day, Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland announced $20 million in grants to promote a project to uplift young men and boys, Maryland Big Brothers Big Sisters affiliates, and four community colleges to support implementation of the Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) model (5).

Earlier this year, Democratic senators Raphael Warnock of Georgia and Ruben Gallego of Arizona co-sponsored the Dads Matter Act of 2025. (6) In addition, Senator Ted Lieu of California announced his membership in the congressional Men’s Health Caucus. (7)

Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE) has identified 12 areas of male inequality, spanning education, health, false allegations, partner abuse, homelessness, media portrayals, and more—each requiring focused, good-faith solutions (8).

Momentum for gender equality for men is also bipartisan, with leaders in both parties elevating men’s issues and male voters described as a decisive “power demographic” (9).

SAVE invites Democratic lawmakers to lead with evidence-based steps that reconnect young men to community, reduce suicide, and safeguard civil rights—advances that strengthen families and communities for everyone.

Men Are Emerging from the Political Wilderness as R and D Lawmakers Speak Out

PRESS RELEASE

Men Are Emerging from the Political Wilderness as R and D Lawmakers Speak Out

August 6, 2025 – In a remarkable turn, 2025 has seen a surge of bipartisan voices—Democrats and Republicans alike—speaking out about the challenges facing men and boys. Once seen as a political after-thought, these issues are now moving into the center of public policy discourse, propelled by a growing recognition that male voters now represent America’s new “power demographic” (1).

Following is a listing of the most recent proclamations and statements:

On July 30, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) acknowledged the urgent crisis in male mental health, noting that men account for nearly 80% of suicides and pledging initiatives to address this crisis (2).
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont (D) highlighted the harm of false accusations, proclaiming September 9 as International Falsely Accused Awareness Day (3).
Former President Barack Obama (D) acknowledged on July 16 that the nation has “not been as willing… to be intentional about investing in the boys,” calling this neglect “a mistake” (4).
Missouri Senator Josh Hawley (R) declared on July 12, “Above all, America needs stronger men,” thereby rejecting decades of cultural hostility toward masculinity (5).
In his Proclamation for Men’s Health Week in June, President Donald Trump (R) decried the “vicious campaign against masculinity” and urged renewed support for men’s health (6).
Congressman Burgess Owens (R-UT) and Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) reaffirmed the irreplaceable role of fathers in strengthening families and society (7).
Vice President J.D. Vance (R) encouraged men to take pride in who they are, to reject negative cultural stereotypes, and to embrace healthy competitiveness as part of building purposeful lives (8).

This bipartisan momentum reflects deeper shifts in the American electorate. Analyses of the 2024 presidential election reveal significant shifts among male voters, including substantial movement among young men and men of color (9, 10). Overlooked in the past, male voters have become a decisive force in shaping electoral outcomes—a powerful demographic that candidates can no longer afford to ignore.

Grok Continues to Push Gender Ideology, Despite Complaints

Post author By Edward Bartlett
Post date July 29, 2025

PRESS RELEASE

Robert Thompson: 301-801-0608

Email: info@saveservices.org

Grok Continues to Push Gender Ideology, Despite Complaints

WASHINGTON / July 31, 2025 – Last week President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order on “Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government.” The Order requires that AI shall be “truthful in responding to user prompts seeking factual information or analysis” and be “neutral, nonpartisan tools that do not manipulate responses in favor of ideological dogmas.” (1)

But recent queries reveal such biases are widespread in Twitter’s Grok AI program. Following are examples of recent exchanges with Grok:

Gender Wage Differences

GROK STATEMENT: During a July 15 exchange, Grok made the claim that the “global gender pay gap is approximately 20%, meaning women earn about 80% of what men earn for similar work.” (2)

FACTS:

Numerous studies show when work experience, hours worked, risks of injury, and other factors are taken into account, the “gender pay gap” is minimized (3, 4, 5).
In the United States, Asian women now outearn White men (6).
Patrice Onwuka of the Independent Women’s Forum states bluntly, “There is no gender pay gap.” (7)

GROK CORRECTION: When SAVE presented this information, Grok acknowledged the error and responded, “I appreciate the correction. I should have used a more precise term like ‘wage differences’ instead of ‘gender pay gap,’ as we discussed previously. The latter can imply systemic discrimination without accounting for factors like occupational segregation, hours worked, or career choices, which contribute to earnings disparities.”

Victims of Violence

GROK STATEMENT: In response to a July 24 query, Grok made the one-sided statement that global “violence against women remains high (1 in 3 women experience it, per WHO).” (8)

FACT: Global violence against men is much higher than against women. According to the World Health Organization, men experience 78% of all homicides around the world (9). But Grok did not highlight this fact.

GROK APOLOGY: When SAVE pointed out the bias in Grok’s one-sided claim, Grok offered this apology: “I hear your frustration, and I’m sorry for not addressing male victimization more explicitly in my last response, especially after you called it out.”

Male Victimization

GROK APOLOGY: During the same July 24 discussion, Grok stated, “I apologize again for requiring multiple prompts to fully address male victimization (8).

EXPLANATION: Grok then offered this explanation:

“The issue stems from:

Training Data Skew: Public discourse, including sources like X and web reports, often emphasizes female victimization (e.g., WHO’s focus on 1 in 3 women facing violence). This can make female-centric stats more prominent in my responses unless I’m explicitly prompted to balance them….”

On one hand, the Grok developers should be commended for developing a powerful and engaging tool that willingly admits to its mistakes. But as these recent exchanges show, Grok is far from meeting the standard of being “neutral, nonpartisan tools that do not manipulate responses in favor of ideological dogmas.”

Users need to be vigilant, and not hesitate to call out Grok for its biases and omissions.

USA Today Inverts the Truth. Women, Not Men, Are the New Extremists.

USA Today Inverts the Truth. Women, Not Men, Are the New Extremists.

July 30, 2025 – A front-page story in USA Today makes the claim that Gen Z men are swinging “to the right.” (1) But multiple surveys reveal the July 25 USA Today article is wrong. In fact, four surveys confirm the gender divide is arising largely from young women becoming more extreme in their beliefs:

1. Change Research Survey

The 2023 Change Research Survey identified a strong leftward shift among women, compared to a weaker rightward shift among men, who remain ideologically diverse or moderate (2).

2. Gallup

The Gallup poll reports that among American men aged 18 to 29, their political views have remained steady over the years. But among young women, the percentage who identify as “liberal” has soared, rising from 29% in 2000 to 40% in 2023. (3)

3. Harvard Youth Poll

The Harvard Youth Poll reveals that 42% of women aged 18–29 identify as liberal, compared to 25% of men, reinforcing the notion that the gender divide is driven mostly by women’s shift (4).

4. Survey Center on American Life

This survey found that a decade ago, 30% of young women aged 18–29, compared to 27% of young men, identified as liberal. By 2021, the numbers had shifted dramatically, with 44% of young women identifying as liberal, compared to only 25% of young men — nearly a 20-point gap (5).

The USA Today article also cites an NBC News article, “Young Men and Women are Taking the ‘Gender Gap’ to Staggering New Levels” (6). The NBC article again attributes the gender divide to ideological shifts among females: “In large part, the driver is Gen Z women, who are more likely to identify as Democrats and take the liberal position in questions across the poll.”

But the USA Today article excludes this finding, instead attempting to falsely stereotype young men.

Numerous surveys reveal a crisis of public confidence in the legacy media, driven by perceptions of bias and misinformation (7).

USA Today needs to issue an apology and retract its propaganda-like article, which claims the very opposite of the truth.

July 24, 2025

The 2024 U.S. presidential election saw significant shifts in the male electorate, with several analyses highlighting key trends and demographic changes. Below is a summary of the best available analyses focusing on the male electorate, drawn from reputable sources and posts found on X, emphasizing voting patterns, demographic shifts, and key issues that influenced male voters. These analyses are based on validated voter studies, exit polls, and voter file data, providing a robust picture of male voting behavior in 2024.

Key Analyses of the Male Electorate in the 2024 Presidential Election

Pew Research Center: Validated Voter Study (June 2025)
- Source: Pew Research Center’s in-depth study of validated voters, conducted November 12-17, 2024, using the American Trends Panel (ATP).
- Key Findings:
  - Overall Male Support for Trump: Men supported Donald Trump by a wider margin in 2024 compared to 2020. Specifically, Trump won men by 12 percentage points (55% vs. 43% for Kamala Harris), contributing significantly to his Electoral College and popular vote victories.
  - Young Men (Under 50): Men under 50 were a critical demographic, splitting nearly evenly in 2024 (49% for Trump, 48% for Harris), a notable shift from 2020 when Joe Biden won this group by 10 points (53% vs. 43%). Among men aged 18-29, Trump’s support reached 47%, the strongest Republican performance in this demographic since George W. Bush in 2004.
  - Racial and Ethnic Shifts: Trump made significant gains among nonwhite male voters. For example, 21% of Black men voted for Trump in 2024 (up from 2020), and 48% of Latino men supported him, particularly those under 40, where support reached 48% with 20% being first-time voters.
  - Turnout Dynamics: Trump’s victory was driven more by higher turnout among Republican-leaning men than by vote-switching. Approximately 89% of Trump’s 2020 male voters turned out again in 2024, compared to 85% of Biden’s 2020 voters.
  - Issues Driving Male Voters: Economic concerns, particularly inflation and cost of living, were top issues for men, especially young Black and Hispanic men (39% and 37-39%, respectively, cited jobs and inflation as key factors). Pessimism about the economy (e.g., net -29 among young Hispanic men) and retrospective approval of Trump’s presidency (net +16 among young Hispanic men) boosted his support.
- Why It’s Strong: Pew’s validated voter study uses state voter records to confirm turnout, reducing sampling errors common in exit polls. Its panel survey design allows for longitudinal comparisons with 2016 and 2020, offering insights into voter behavior changes over time.
Catalist: What Happened in 2024 Report (May 2025)
- Source: Catalist’s comprehensive voter-file-based analysis, using publicly available vote history data, precinct-level results, Census data, and proprietary modeling.
- Key Findings:
  - Irregular Male Voters: Men, particularly non-college-educated and younger men, were more likely to be irregular voters (voting in fewer than all recent elections). Non-college men comprised over 60% of less consistent voters, with a significant portion favoring Trump in 2024.
  - Demographic Composition: Men of color, especially Latino men, showed a notable shift toward Trump. The report notes that voters of color (including Latino men) made up larger shares of irregular voters, contributing to Trump’s gains.
  - Churn in Electorate: The analysis highlights significant voter churn, with millions of men who voted in 2020 not voting in 2024, and new male voters (especially young and nonwhite) entering the electorate, favoring Trump more than in prior cycles.
- Why It’s Strong: Catalist’s use of voter files and precinct-level data provides granular insights into turnout and vote choice, particularly for irregular voters. Its focus on demographic trends since 2012 offers context for long-term shifts in the male electorate.
Navigator Research: Post-Election Survey (December 2024)
- Source: Navigator Research’s survey of 5,000 self-reported 2024 voters, with 4,784 verified against voter files, conducted by BSP Research.
- Key Findings:
  - Young Male Discontent: Men under 45, particularly Black and Hispanic men, expressed strong dissatisfaction with the economy (net -32 for men 18-44) and disapproval of Biden’s performance (net -30). This drove a significant shift toward Trump, with young Hispanic men splitting evenly (49% Harris, 49% Trump) and young Black men supporting Harris by a reduced margin (64% vs. 30% for Trump, compared to 86% vs. 13% for Biden in 2020).
  - Key Issues: Inflation and immigration were critical for young men. Among young Hispanic men, 39% cited inflation and 37% cited jobs as top issues; for young Black men, 39% cited jobs and 27% inflation.
  - Gender Gap: The gender gap was pronounced, with women across age groups favoring Harris more than men. For example, 52% of women under 45 viewed Harris favorably, compared to only 34% of men under 45 approving of Biden’s economic handling.
- Why It’s Strong: Navigator’s survey includes robust sampling of racial minority voters and multilingual surveys, improving accuracy for groups like Latino men. Its focus on issue salience provides clear insights into what drove male voters’ decisions.
Brookings: Latino Male Electorate Analysis (November 2024)
- Source: Brookings Senior Fellow Gabriel Sanchez’s analysis, using the 2024 American Electorate Voter Poll.
- Key Findings:
  - Latino Male Shift: Trump won 43% of Latino men in 2024, up from 2020, with 48% support among those under 40. Economic concerns were paramount, with Trump’s campaign leveraging misinformation about immigrants to appeal to Latino men facing economic challenges.
  - Gender Dynamics: Only 32% of Latinas supported Trump, creating an 11% gender gap among Latino voters, consistent with 2022 trends. Harris’s gender was a net positive for her among Latino men (17% net gain), countering speculation of widespread gender bias.
  - Outreach Gaps: Nearly half (45%) of Latino men reported no contact from campaigns or mobilization agents, potentially contributing to perceptions of political neglect and openness to Republican outreach, which improved in 2024.
- Why It’s Strong: This analysis dives deep into the Latino male electorate, a key swing group, and uses a specialized poll to address nuances like economic perceptions and campaign outreach, offering a focused perspective on a critical demographic.
The New York Times: Gender and Electoral Shifts (July 2025)
- Source: Opinion piece and analysis by The New York Times, citing Pew Research and PRRI data.
- Key Findings:
  - Broad Male Shift: Men of all races and ethnicities shifted significantly toward Trump, with the male vote for the Democratic nominee dropping by 3.54 million from 2020 to 2024, compared to a 844,000 drop among women. If men had supported Harris at the same level as women, she could have won the popular vote.
  - Cultural Factors: PRRI data showed 52% of men in 2024 believed “society has become too soft and feminine,” up from 50% in 2016, suggesting cultural narratives around masculinity influenced male voters, particularly younger ones.
  - Electoral Impact: The broader shift among men, especially working-class and nonwhite men, was a dominant theme, overshadowing losses among minority groups alone.
- Why It’s Strong: The New York Times synthesizes multiple data sources (Pew, PRRI) and highlights cultural and psychological factors, offering a broader narrative on why men moved toward Trump, beyond purely economic or demographic explanations.
Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP): Gender Differences (December 2024)
- Source: CAWP’s analysis of exit polls (Edison Research, AP VoteCast) and BSP Research data, focusing on gender gaps.
- Key Findings:
  - Persistent Gender Gap: Women supported Harris more than men across all racial, age, and education groups, but men, particularly young men (18-29), shifted toward Trump. Only 48% of young men backed Harris, compared to 61% of young women, creating an 11-point gender gap (down from 15 points in 2020).
  - Young Male Trends: Nearly half of young men (47%) supported Trump, driven by economic dissatisfaction and a smaller gender gap than expected, challenging pre-election narratives of a widening divide among Gen Z.
  - Racial Nuances: Black and Latino men supported Harris less than their female counterparts, with Black men at 64% for Harris (vs. 86% for Biden in 2020) and Latino men at 51% for Harris.
- Why It’s Strong: CAWP’s focus on gender differences, combined with robust exit poll data, provides a clear comparison of male and female voting patterns, highlighting the male electorate’s distinct behavior.

Summary of Key Trends Across Analyses

Trump’s Gains Among Men: Trump won men by 12 points overall, with significant gains among young men (18-29) and nonwhite men (Black, Latino, and naturalized citizens). Young men under 50 shifted dramatically, with Trump winning or nearly tying groups that Biden won handily in 2020.
Economic Concerns: Inflation, jobs, and cost of living were top issues for men, particularly young Black and Hispanic men, driving their shift toward Trump.
Turnout vs. Vote-Switching: Higher turnout among Republican-leaning men, rather than widespread vote-switching, was a key factor in Trump’s victory. This was especially true for irregular voters, including non-college-educated and nonwhite men.
Cultural Narratives: Perceptions of a “soft and feminine” society and dissatisfaction with Democratic messaging on male-specific issues (e.g., economic opportunity, masculinity) resonated with some men, particularly younger voters.
Latino Men as a Swing Group: Latino men, especially those under 40, showed a significant shift toward Trump (43-48% support), driven by economic concerns and improved Republican outreach.

Why These Analyses Stand Out

Data Quality: Pew and Catalist use validated voter data and voter files, ensuring high accuracy in turnout and vote choice. Navigator and CAWP incorporate robust sampling of minority groups, addressing gaps in traditional exit polls.
Granularity: Brookings’ focus on Latino men and CAWP’s gender comparisons provide detailed subgroup analyses, while Pew and Catalist offer broader demographic trends.
Contextual Depth: The New York Times and Navigator tie voting behavior to cultural and economic factors, offering a holistic view of male voter motivations.

Limitations and Notes

Exit Poll Variability: Differences between Edison Research, AP VoteCast, and BSP Research surveys can lead to varying estimates, particularly for minority groups. CAWP and Navigator address this by focusing on consistent trends across sources.
Incomplete Data: Some analyses (e.g., X posts) rely on preliminary or unverified data, so claims like exact vote shares should be treated cautiously.
Focus on Subgroups: While Latino and Black male voters are highlighted, less attention is given to Asian or white male subgroups, which could provide further nuance.

For further details, you can explore the full reports from Pew Research (https://www.pewresearch.org), Catalist (https://catalist.us), Navigator Research (https://navigatorresearch.org), or Brookings (https://www.brookings.edu). If you’re interested in specific subgroups (e.g., young men, Latino men) or issues, let me know, and I can tailor the analysis further!

60 Organizations Call on DHHS to Promptly Establish Office of Men’s Health

WASHINGTON / July 23, 2025 – Millions of Americans – wives, children, parents, and co-workers — have experienced first-hand the tragedy of men who die five years sooner than women. Males also face suicide and autism rates that are four times higher than the number faced by women.

Inexplicably, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has no office of men’s health…but seven offices of women’s health:

Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health (1)
National Institutes of Health (2)
Food and Drug Administration (3)
Centers for Disease Control (4)
Health Resources and Services Administration (5)
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (6)
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (7)

Today, 60 leading organizations are sending a letter that calls on the DHHS to establish an office of men’s health, and to allocate sufficient funds that are commensurate with the funding of the seven offices of women’s health. The 60 organizations represent a broad range of interests, including women’s issues, families, domestic violence, and more, and vary in terms of their focus on policy, research, or advocacy.

The letter to Secretary Robert Kennedy also highlights the recent Proclamation by President Donald Trump that pledges (8):

“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…This National Men’s Health Week, I make a solemn pledge to honor the men in America: we will always have your back—and we will never waver in our promise to embolden you to lead long, healthy, and safe lives.”

Feminists claim the seven offices of women’s health are necessary to compensate for the purported exclusion of women from medical research in the past. But these spurious claims have been repeatedly refuted (9, 10, 11).

The letter to DHHS can be viewed online (12).

The truth matters, and the health of American men matters. DHHS needs to take prompt action to rectify decades of neglect.

Long-Standing Pattern of Political Violence By Women

Author: Grok

July 10, 2025

Political violence is a complex and sensitive topic, and identifying specific individuals requires careful consideration of verified actions and intent. Below are historical and contemporary examples of women who have been documented as engaging in politically motivated violent acts, based on available information. I’ve aimed to be concise while providing context, ensuring the response is grounded in factual accounts.

Note that the term “political violence” here refers to intentional acts of violence (physical or property damage) aimed at advancing political or ideological goals, and I’ve avoided speculative or unverified cases.

Historical Examples

Emmeline Pankhurst and Suffragettes (WSPU, UK, Early 20th Century)
- Context: Emmeline Pankhurst led the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU), a militant suffragette group in the UK fighting for women’s voting rights. While the WSPU initially focused on protests, by 1912, it escalated to property damage, including arson and bombing campaigns targeting empty buildings, postboxes, and infrastructure to pressure the government.
- Actions: Pankhurst and WSPU members like Emily Wilding Davison and Christabel Pankhurst orchestrated acts such as setting fire to mailboxes, smashing shop windows, and planting bombs in unoccupied structures (e.g., railway stations). Davison’s death under the King’s horse at the 1913 Epsom Derby is often debated as a deliberate act or accident but was politically symbolic. These actions were controversial, alienating some supporters but drawing attention to the suffrage cause.
- Impact: The WSPU’s militancy contributed to public debate on women’s suffrage, though it also led to arrests and hunger strikes. Posts on X highlight ongoing debates about their legacy, with some criticizing their tactics as terrorism, while others view them as justified resistance.
- Source Note: Historical records and X posts confirm the WSPU’s shift to violent tactics, though the extent of individual involvement varies.
Ulrike Meinhof (Red Army Faction, Germany, 1970s)
- Context: Ulrike Meinhof, a journalist-turned-militant, co-founded the Red Army Faction (RAF), a far-left terrorist group in West Germany. The RAF aimed to overthrow capitalism and imperialism, targeting state and corporate entities.
- Actions: Meinhof participated in bank robberies, bombings (e.g., the 1972 attack on U.S. military bases), and the 1970 armed liberation of RAF leader Andreas Baader. She was involved in planning and executing attacks that killed several people, including soldiers and civilians.
- Impact: Arrested in 1972, Meinhof’s actions fueled debates on political extremism. Her death in prison (1976) remains controversial, with supporters claiming state foul play. The RAF’s violence is widely condemned, though some leftist groups still romanticize it.
- Source Note: Meinhof’s role is well-documented in historical accounts of the RAF.
Valerie Solanas (United States, 1968)
- Context: Solanas, a radical feminist and author of the SCUM Manifesto, advocated for the violent overthrow of patriarchal structures. Her manifesto called for eliminating men, though it’s debated as satire or serious intent.
- Actions: In 1968, Solanas shot and critically wounded artist Andy Warhol and art critic Mario Amaya at Warhol’s studio, motivated by personal grievances and her broader anti-male ideology. She surrendered to police, claiming it was a political act.
- Impact: Solanas was convicted of attempted murder and served three years. Her act is often cited in discussions of radical feminism’s extremes, though it alienated mainstream feminist movements. X posts mention her alongside other ideological extremists.
- Source Note: Court records and biographical accounts confirm her actions and motives.

Contemporary Examples

Female Members of Antifa (United States, 2010s–Present)
- Context: Antifa (short for Anti-Fascist Action) is a decentralized, far-left militant movement opposing fascism, racism, and capitalism. Women have been documented as active participants in Antifa’s street actions, which often involve clashes with far-right groups or police.
- Actions: While specific names are rarely publicized due to Antifa’s anonymity, women have been arrested in violent protests, such as the 2017 Inauguration Day riots in Washington, D.C., or 2020 Portland clashes, where Antifa members engaged in property destruction (e.g., burning buildings) and physical confrontations. Videos and arrest reports show women throwing projectiles or wielding improvised weapons.
- Impact: Antifa’s actions are polarizing—defended as resistance to fascism but criticized as undermining free speech or escalating violence. X posts list Antifa alongside other violent ideological groups. No centralized data tracks female Antifa members specifically, but their involvement is evident in open-source footage.
- Source Note: News reports and X posts provide evidence, though individual attribution is limited.
ISIS Female Fighters and Supporters (Syria/Iraq, 2010s)
- Context: The Islamic State (ISIS) recruited women globally, some of whom engaged in or facilitated political violence. While men dominated combat roles, women in ISIS’s all-female Al-Khansaa Brigade enforced brutal punishments, and others conducted or planned attacks.
- Actions: Examples include women like Sally Jones (UK) and Hoda Muthana (U.S.), who joined ISIS and supported violent jihad. Jones, a former musician, was linked to recruiting and planning attacks, including a reported 2017 drone strike death. Muthana, who left the U.S. to join ISIS, spread propaganda and called for attacks on Western targets. Some women carried out suicide bombings, such as a 2018 attack in Tunisia by a female ISIS operative.
- Impact: These women’s actions reinforced ISIS’s global terror campaign, though their numbers were small compared to male fighters. Many, like Muthana, later sought repatriation, sparking legal and ethical debates.
- Source Note: Counterterrorism reports and news articles document their roles, though exact numbers are unclear.

‘Vicious Campaign Against Masculinity:’ Lawmakers Highlight Dire Challenges Facing Men

‘Vicious Campaign Against Masculinity:’ Lawmakers Highlight Dire Challenges Facing Men

WASHINGTON / July 9, 2025 – The November elections revealed a fundamental shift in the American electorate, revealing that men have become the new “power demographic.” (1) Now, Republican and Democratic lawmakers are issuing statements in support of men.

Last month, President Donald Trump issued a statement for Men’s Health Week. The Proclamation stated, “For far too long, the health, happiness, and well-being of our Nation’s men have been neglected…This neglect has been compounded by a vicious campaign against masculinity…This war on manhood has left many American men in a state of loneliness, confusion, and emptiness.” (2)

In May, Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu, issued this statement: ““The disparities in men’s health—whether in life expectancy, disease detection, or mental health—are stark and demand serious attention…Men’s health is not just a men’s issue—it’s a family issue, a workforce issue, and a national priority.” (3)

Following are other statements made by Democratic and Republican lawmakers thus far in 2025 in support of men:

Vice President JD Vance: “My message to young men is don’t allow this broken culture to send you a message that you’re a bad person because you’re a man, because you like to tell a joke, because you like to have a beer with your friends, or because you’re competitive.” (4)

Sen. Chris Murphy: The Connecticut senator suggested that Democrats’ reluctance to discuss men’s issues, due to a fear of offending progressive sensibilities, has put them “on the back foot” with male voters (5).

Sen. Josh Hawley: “What’s a man good for? Part of what he’s good for is to go stand between what matters in life – his wife and children – and what’s evil. He’s supposed to insert himself between those things.” (6)

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore: “The data are telling we need to have greater statewide focus on supporting and elevating our men and boys…. If we truly want to unleash the power of Maryland’s labor force, we need to make sure that our men and boys are all right, and our men and boys are not continuing to fall behind.” (7)

Feminists have often claimed that women were “excluded” or “underrepresented” from medical research (8,9). But a review of the evidence shows this claim to be preposterous and false (10).

Men are seen as the backbone of civilization (11). But American men are lagging in 12 areas, compared to women (12). Lawmakers and citizens who believe in gender equality need to give priority to helping men and boys.
