Men's Awareness

If your feminism excludes men from empathy, it isn’t inclusive. (Follows, likes, and comments by me are not endorsements.)

Men’s rights has spent decades raising awareness. The disparities are documented.

What’s missing is serious funding, institutions, legal advocacy, policy work, and political pressure.

Awareness alone won’t change systems. It’s time to build something that will.

@PoojaPriyam_ Teaching women self defense does not mean men as a class are violent or need to change. That argument begins with a false premise. It turns individual offenders into a supposed male deficiency, then treats practical safety advice as surrendering to it.

[Men's Awareness @MenAreAware]

@The_RomaArmy It requires research, funding, institutional support and laws.

Drug overdose deaths reveal a blind spot the federal government still hasn’t addressed.

Men were 69% of U.S. overdose deaths in 2024. Their death rate was 32.2 per 100,000, compared with 14.1 for women.

Federal addiction programs are open to everyone. But SAMHSA also funds a center specifically for women’s mental health and substance use, while federal rules set aside treatment funding and services for pregnant women and women with dependent children.

There is no comparable federal program focused on men, even though they die at more than twice the rate.

Men deserve more than a place in the stats. They deserve recovery programs designed to reach them.

Title IX bans sex discrimination in scholarships, but Middlebury’s feminist-studies professor says enforcing it has no legal basis.

Middlebury agreed to drop or relabel ten women-only scholarships. The college could open them to everyone and still award them to women who qualify. It just could not exclude men because they are men.

The professor framed that as erasing opportunities for women.

Her department is called Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies. That is feminism built into the institution, using academic authority to defend sex-based exclusion.

@LisaBritton @TheTinMenBlog Meanwhile, in America, the State of Men’s Health Act would address this issue, but hardly anyone knows about it. There’s not enough awareness or support. The lack of empathy for men is the same in a lot of places.

[Men's Awareness @MenAreAware]

@LisaBritton Thank you. I was not aware of this specific isolated stat and am going to keep this in mind as I continue working on the issue. My next big effort after equal parenting is going to be the men's health crisis.

@JunusAnna Nothing here is about protecting children. You minimized mothers murdering their children, then used the victims as a setup to attack men as a class.

Women reporting dismissal, misdiagnosis or unclear answers deserve to be taken seriously. The 51% versus 39% gap is worth examining.

But the survey did not establish misogyny or prove healthcare is “men-centered.” Men die younger and have a substantially higher age-adjusted death rate. Calling healthcare male-centered is impossible to square with those outcomes.

Women face real failures in care. Men face a severe health crisis with far less institutional recognition. Turning the first into proof of male privilege erases the second.

“Medical misogyny” is doing far more work here than the data.

The survey found that 51% of women and 39% of men reported at least one of four negative healthcare experiences over five years. It did not establish that misogyny caused the difference.

The label turns a reported experience gap into "proof" of systemic oppression, erases the 39% of men reporting the same failures, and distracts from the objective outcome this framing excludes: men are dying younger and at far higher rates without comparable institutional support.

@kaylenmarissaa The Simpsons is the longest-running scripted U.S. TV show in history. Homer has been burned into everyone's minds.

Before that it was Archie Bunker.

Malcolm in the Middle and Everybody Loves Raymond are other examples of shows with a bumbling dad.

Boys are being suspended and expelled before they even reach kindergarten.

They were 54% of public preschool enrollment, but 81% of preschoolers suspended outside school and 85% of those expelled.

In Virginia, only 48% of boys met kindergarten-readiness benchmarks, compared with 56% of girls. By high school, boys drop out at 1.5 times the rate of girls.

This is a pattern from preschool through graduation. Boys need targeted programs backed by institutional support and funding.

“Gender-based violence” sounds neutral, but feminist organizations use it as a marketing umbrella for violence against women and girls. It carries a built-in male-perpetrator, female-victim framework that sidelines male victims and female offenders while presenting feminist programs and funding demands as a universal response to violence.

“Sex-based violence” would carry the same baggage if used the same way.

@jadethebpdcoach True, but you forgot great music besides just great literature.

Tamera Williams remains at large.

U.S. Marshals say she allegedly shot and dismembered her boyfriend, discarding his remains along I-75. She is on their 15 Most Wanted list, considered armed and dangerous, with a $25,000 reward.

Male victims deserve visibility. Share her face.

Why do NOW and other large, powerful, and influential feminist organizations ignore men’s issues and refuse to help advance the State of Men’s Health Act?

Because working together is not in their institutional interests.

Their donors, staff, political alliances, and influence are built around directing attention and resources toward women. A federal Office of Men’s Health would formally recognize that men face sex-specific disadvantages requiring dedicated research, policy, and advocacy.

It would also legitimize independent men’s advocacy and create an authoritative source of evidence they do not control.

The bill explicitly protects funding for every existing women’s health office. Supporting it takes nothing from women. What it threatens is the one-directional power structure surrounding gender policy.

Their silence is not powerlessness. They are either indifferent because helping men offers them nothing, or adversarial because recognizing men’s needs threatens their political position.

@TheTinMenBlog This is the deeper problem. Men’s issues lack the institutional support needed to turn public concern into political action. I’m actively working to change that in the U.S., and whatever I learn about what works, I’m willing to pass along to activists in the UK.

If the post had said, “Women in poverty can be driven into survival sex,” that would be highlighting an issue affecting women.

Instead, it said, “You cannot be pro women without being pro ending poverty.” It takes poverty, desperation, and survival sex, which affect both sexes, and frames them specifically as women’s issues. That is the exact point I challenged.

@LisaBritton This is why I’m starting ContinuityPolicy .org, which is still under construction. It will give people a quick, direct way to find their state lawmakers and use templates to email them in support of equal parenting laws. I’m also working to secure adequate funding to promote it.
