Men also receive harsher punishment for the same crime in the criminal justice system. They are more likely to receive custodial sentences and the sentences are longer.
This is an important and worthwhile effort. I applaud everyone who has been involved with this committee.
Beware. Any time an initiative like this arises to help men and boys, man-hating bigots and corrupt interest groups come out of the woodwork to try to shut it down. They’ve contributed to many of the problems listed above, but victim-blame innocent men instead of taking any responsibility for what they’ve done. Be ready to push back against them.
Many U.S. assistance programs remain heavily and unfairly biased in favor of women, even in areas where women are doing much better than men. For example, women have been receiving 55-60% of college degrees for decades, but almost all gender-specific scholarships are still reserved for women. Women on average outlive men; however, there are lots of federal offices dedicated to women’s health, and not even one federal office dedicated to men’s health.
Another topic: Men are marginalized as parents; particularly when they are divorced.

My oh my, y'all are doing it! Tremendous! Congratulations! This will help a whole lot of people.
Thanks for all your work, Blair

Systemic misandry is a big problem, and it’s critical to address the anti-male biases baked into too many of our policies and laws.
