In America, men have worse health outcomes across every ethnic, racial and socioeconomic group; they are more likely to die at every age; and they lead in 13 of the top 15 causes of death. Meanwhile, the National Institutes of Health spends about 2.5 times more on women’s health research than it does on men’s, and this has been true for nearly forty years. Yet, despite this… there are now eight federal, tax-funded Offices of Women’s Health, and zero for men. And so, statistically speaking, the formation of the first Office of Men’s Health seems like a no-brainer, and an urgently needed step to help stem the deluge of early male deaths. But sadly, many still find it a controversial ask, and remain dedicated to undermining any political move to open such an office. Instead, such people insist the opposite is true: that women’s health is where attention, and all the funding, should go. So let’s look at the stats and ask what is so unpopular about men living long, healthy, happy lives… What do you think? ~ My new Ask Me (Us) Anything with @LisaBritton is out now! youtube.com/watch?v=bAYEaT8W… Men lead in 13 of the top 15 causes of death sciencedirect.com/science/ar… NIH Gendered Funding jameslnuzzo.substack.com/p/n… Men and boys have higher mortality at every age washingtonpost.com/wellness/… Men have worse health in every group congress.gov/bill/119th-cong…

It’s not just your local bombastic, Bugatti-driving podcast bro who wins from the gender war. A small army of organisations and so-called ‘masculinity experts’ line their pockets by stoking the fires of division and pitting women against men too. Sensational headlines. Hysterical slogans. Fear-mongering, dehumanising rhetoric… and at the centre of it all, bogus research that twists and contorts methodologies, placing a thumb on the scale to get the answers they want. So let’s talk about the research that too often strays away from scientific endeavour and strolls into dogmatic gender ideology instead… My new Ask Me (Us) Anything with @LisaBritton is out now! youtube.com/watch?v=bAYEaT8W…

Last week, the Office for National Statistics released the latest data on suicide in England and Wales, and if you were hoping for a positive outlook, I’m sorry, but it’s bleak. Last year, we had the worst male suicide rates of this century. This year, we’ve broken that record. And this isn’t due to a failure of men, masculinity or a “toxic” male mindset; it’s a failure of society at a level that is simply beyond comprehension.
