Have Young Women Become the New Social Misfits?

August 10, 2026 — In the past, women played a positive, stabilizing role in moral and family life. But that role has largely disappeared among young women, in eight key areas:

Sexual Promiscuity: In the past women, were expected to be sexually chaste. But now, women parade themselves in revealing outfits and brag about their sexual “body count.” An estimated one million American women are “creators” for OnlyFans, collectively earning $1.7 billion in annual revenue (1).
Mental Illness: A Pew Research survey found that 56% of young liberal women reported they have been told by a health provider that they have a mental health condition (2). Surveys consistently show young women experience higher rates of mental illness, compared to young men (3).
Misandry: Socialist Alexandria Ocasio Cortez issued a series of inflammatory remarks targeting men (4):

“Misogyny transcends political ideology: left, right, center. This grip of patriarchy affects all of us, not just women.”
“‘Boys will be boys.’ Is that also the reason why you’ve chosen to block the Violence Against Women Act too, Mitch McConnell?”
“Men suffer from being under patriarchy. They don’t go to the doctor. They suffer from much higher rates of completed suicides.”

Her claims are so far-fetched as to challenge her own credibility.

Hatefulness: Hatefulness is rising among young women. Evie Magazine commentator Lisa Britton declared bluntly, “Female-led misandry is mainstream, and it’s in our schools, our media, our Hollywood blockbusters, and our university lecture halls. Podcasts hosted by women casually trash men as toxic, incompetent, sexist or irredeemable…The hatred isn’t just on the fringes. It’s everywhere.” (5)
Marriage: In 1960, roughly 45% of American women ages 18–24 and a large majority of those in their mid-to-late 20s were married. Now, those numbers have plummeted – only 8 percent of women 18-24 years and 34% of women 25-29 years are married (6).
Child-Bearing: Childbearing rates have fallen by more than half in recent decades. In 1960, the fertility rate stood at 3.6 children per woman. It has now dipped to 1.6 children, far below the demographic replacement rate of 2.1 children (7).
Infanticide and Child Abuse: Globally, 72% of all infanticides are committed by mothers (8). The Administration for Children and Families reveals the majority of child abuse is perpetrated by mothers — 37.2% — compared to 24.6% by fathers (9).
Feminist Identification: 55% of American women ages 18-29 now consider themselves “feminist,” according to the American Survey Center (10). Commentator Janice Fiamengo notes, “Feminism poses a threat to everything good in western culture, perhaps especially to women’s capacity to love, reason, and exercise self-restraint.” (11)

As a result, men have now emerged as the backbone of the traditional family and the primary upholder of traditional values (12).

Anthony Fauci and the Culture of Dishonesty at the NIH

Anthony Fauci and the Culture of Dishonesty at the NIH

August 3, 2026 — This past week, Americans were appalled to learn of the widespread falsehoods disseminated by Dr. Anthony Fauci, former head of the NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease.

In particular, Fauci dishonestly claimed that (1):

The COVID virus originated from natural sources, not a lab leak in Wuhan, China.
“The NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology” – a claim contradicted by statements from other NIH officials.
There was “no reason to be walking around with a mask,” as Fauci admitted on 60 Minutes, even though he had previously been a persistent advocate for universal masking.

Fauci’s falsehoods harmed the more than 50 million children in the United States who experienced school closures due to COVID-19 policies, resulting in severe learning loss and chronic absenteeism (2).

But Anthony Fauci was not the first high-level person at the National Institutes of Health to engage in a campaign of disinformation. For years, NIH leaders have been spreading the claim that women were “excluded” and “under-represented” from medical research:

Ruth Kirschstein, MD (first woman to lead a major NIH institute): Co-chaired a Task Force that highlighted an alleged “dearth of women enrolled in clinical trials” (3). Kirschstein also made the claim that the signal Framingham Heart Study included only men. (In fact, the Framingham study, first launched in 1948, was 55% female and 45% male (4)).
Bernadine Healy, MD (NIH Director, 1991–1993): Deplored what she called the “decades of sex-exclusive research.” (5)
Janine Austin Clayton, MD (current Director of the Office of Research for Women’s Health): Claimed, “We know less about female biology and we are struggling to catch up.” (6)
Vivian Pinn, MD (first full-time Director of ORWH, 1991–2011): Dramatically insisted, “The exclusion of some women in clinical research may sometimes be valid, but not all the women all the time.” (7)

These assertions lack essential details about the extent the exclusion, the affected diseases, and the relevant time period. And for good reason — they have no basis in reality:

A detailed analysis of studies conducted as early as the 1960s concluded, “Women have participated in medical research in numbers at least proportionate to the overall female population.” (8)
In 1994, Judith LaRosa of the NIH Office of Research on Women Health affirmed, “Little, if any, evidence is available that suggests that women have been systematically excluded from biomedical research.” (9)
A recent analysis concluded, “Between 1995 and 2025, the average annual distribution of NIH-funded research enrollments was 58% female, 40% male, and 2% unknown sex.” (10)

Women’s health researchers have profited handsomely from the falsehood of female exclusion. Women’s health has enjoyed dedicated funding that is more than twice as much as men’s health: 14% vs. 6% of the total NIH budget (11).

As a result, men are dying five years sooner than women, and we still don’t have the essential medical knowledge necessary to overcome the lifespan gender gap.science.org

Men’s Health and the Rise of Female Supremacism

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.

Gender Equality for Men: Efforts to Help Males Gain Momentum

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.

Wave of Socialist Hatred Surges Across the Land

Wave of Socialist Hatred Surges Across the Land

July 1, 2026 — Scott Wiener is a member of the Jewish Faith and prominent Democratic activist. On June 26 he walking through a San Francisco park near his home.

Suddenly Wiener was surrounded by a group of progressive anti-Zionist protesters. They hurled epithets at him, accusing him of being a “genocidal piece of shit,” yelled “we f*cking hate you,” and gave him middle-finger gestures. The entire incident was captured on videotape (1).

In response, numerous groups denounced the incident as hateful and unacceptable (2).

Sadly, the San Francisco incident was only one of the many antisemitic incidents across the United States in recent weeks (3).

Recent months also have witnessed a wave of campus incidents by far-left activist groups that engaged in occupations of buildings, property defacement, and confrontations with campus administrators. In early June, federal prosecutors indicted eight activists affiliated with the University of Michigan on charges of threats, harassment, and vandalism (4).

In Minnesota, 15 Antifa-linked persons were charged for conducting a sustained campaign of violence against law enforcement officials. The alleged incidents include harassment, barricading, and the sideswiping of a federal vehicle (5).

The feminist loathing of men is another facet of progressive disdain. For example, the term “toxic masculinity” has been designated as hate speech (6). But feminists continue to use the term as an acceptable form of social discourse.

Later this summer, I Shot Andy Warhol will return to movie theaters. The movie glorifies the near-fatal gun attack by feminist Valerie Solanas on artist Andy Warhol. In her recent newspaper interview, director Mary Harron says not a word about Solanas’ anti-male hatred. Indeed, Harron admits her admiration for Solanas because of “all my years catering to the pathetic male ego.” (7)

Commenting on the impending movie release, columnist Janice Fiamengo explores the broader problem of feminist hatred, deploring the “enduring feminist fascination with violent, man-hating women.” (8)

Even Democratic candidates for political office have indulged in the hateful rhetoric:

Michigan: Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed once charged, “America deserved 9/11.” (9)
New York: Darializa Avila Chavalier, who recently won the primary election in NY-13, once accused Black and Arab men for being “Fetishizing ugly colonizer women.” (10)
Texas: In San Antonio, Maureen Galindo charged the local Jewish leadership has “dominant economic and political (& media) power that is very real, harmful, and should be named and criticized.” (11)

To date, the Democrats who have spoken out against the hateful incidents remain few and far between (12). Hopefully the wave of socialist hatred will come to a prompt end.

Women Are Some of the Strongest Supporters of Men’s Health

Women Are Some of the Strongest Supporters of Men’s Health

June 15, 2026 — June is Men’s Health Month, and it’s a time to reflect on a disturbing paradox: Even though men die five years sooner than women, the federal government currently has seven offices of women’s health, and zero offices of men’s health.

In Congress, lawmakers are debating passage of the State of Men’s Health Act, H.R. 7602, that would create the first federal Office of Men’s Health (1). And state lawmakers are reviewing the recent American Medical Association resolution calling on public health departments to establish offices of men’s health (2).

But conspicuously absent from the debate is how ending premature male mortality will also benefit women and wives. Research shows that widowhood imposes a heavy emotional, financial, and health toll on women:

Emotional and psychological trauma from bereavement: The sudden or early loss of a husband triggers intense grief, depression, loneliness, and anxiety. The Stanford Center on Longevity research highlights that women experience higher rates of sadness and psychological distress that can last for years (3).

Increased burdens of daily living: Widows often assume sole responsibility for household management, finances, and decision-making previously shared with a partner. This shift compounds their physical and cognitive loads (4).
Higher out-of-pocket medical expenditures: Bereavement often causes increased healthcare needs for the surviving spouse. Studies show increases in medical spending, as widows oversee their own health declines (5).
22% decline in income: Widowhood substantially raises the likelihood of falling into poverty. The Social Security Administration reports that women frequently experience income drops (around 22% in early years) and wealth depletion, with many falling into poverty (6).
Three times greater risk of being admitted to a nursing home: Losing a spouse dramatically increases the risk of institutionalization. Finnish and U.S. studies document hazard ratios exceeding three in the first month after bereavement (7).
48% greater mortality risk: Becoming widowed is associated with a 48% increase in mortality risk, according to Health and Retirement Study analyses. The loss of social support, shared resources, and companionship contributes to higher death rates among widows (8).

Evie Magazine columnist Lisa Britton reveals, “Our fathers, husbands, sons, and brothers continue to die earlier, suffer more, and receive far less institutional concern about their health than women.” (9)

Women should have a major say in debates about the establishment of the Office of Men’s Health. We encourage every woman to contact Assistant Secretary of Health Brian Christine, and urge him to take prompt action to establish an Office of Men’s Health:

The Myth of Patriarchy and the Media Fixation with Andrew Tate

The Myth of Patriarchy and the Media Fixation with Andrew Tate

June 18, 2026 — Vilified by the international media as the epitome of masculine power, Andrew Tate has been harshly criticized for his views of women (1). But Tate’s reputation as a “cultural influencer” of young men is now being challenged.

Early surveys found that Tate was viewed as a positive role model by only a minority of young men (2). And now, Tate’s limited influence is on the wane.

A 2025 study conducted in the UK found that teenagers described Tate as “dead” or “just a meme now.” (3) More recently, a survey of American men ages 19-29 found that Tate ranked dead last in his appeal to young men (4).

So how did the media become so fixated with Andrew Tate?

In 1970, feminist Kate Millett published Sexual Politics, which framed patriarchy as society’s most fundamental and pervasive concept of power. She claimed that “every avenue of power within the society, including the coercive force of the police, is entirely in male hands.”

But in singling out the “coercive force of the police,” Millett revealed her naiveté about the workings of the criminal system. Research from around the world shows when men and women commit the same crime, the man is more likely to be arrested, charged, and convicted (5). And the woman is let off with the proverbial “slap of the wrist.”

Now it’s time to ask the basic question, “Is there really such a thing as ‘patriarchy’ in Western societies?”

Scientific studies and government surveys reveal that around the world, men are lagging behind women in numerous ways (6):

Lifespan and mental health: Men die approximately five years earlier than women worldwide.
Education: Women now outpace men in college enrollments.
Workplace safety: Men account for 92–95% of workplace fatalities in major industrial economies.
Incarceration: Roughly 10.9 million men are imprisoned worldwide, while female prisoners number less than one million.
Child labor: Boys make up the majority of children engaged in hazardous child labor.
Homelessness: Men comprise an estimated 76% of the global homeless population.
