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

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.

Defying Cultural Assault, Men More Likely Than Women to Embrace Family Values

Defying Cultural Assault, Men More Likely Than Women to Embrace Family Values

WASHINGTON / September 10, 2025 – In the 1960s, feminist Kate Millett convened consciousness-raising sessions for liberal women. The back-and-forth recitations went like this (1):

“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” Millett asked the group.
“By destroying the American family!” the women answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” Millett came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” Millett replied.
“By taking away his power!”

In response, Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, wrote a searing exposé about our nation’s long-standing cultural assault on fathers: “America has spent about 60 years exhausting the alternatives to fatherhood—and the collateral damage is all around us.” (2)

Despite this long-standing cultural attack, men remain — perhaps miraculously – more likely than women to embrace a broad range of pro-family values and beliefs:

Commitment to the Goals of Marriage: Men are more likely than women to agree that married persons are more likely to find happiness: Men: 38%; Women: 22%. (3)
Parental Aspirations: Single young men are more likely than their female counterparts to aspire to become a parent. Men: 57%; Women: 45%. (4)
Ideal Family Size: Men desire to have a larger number of children. In response to the question, “What do you think is the ideal number of children for a family to have?”, the percentage of persons who responded, three or more children: Men: 48%; Women: 37%. (5)
Pro-Life: Men are more likely to identify as being “pro-life.” Men: 47%; Women: 44%. (6)
Intimate Partner Violence: Men are less likely than women to engage in domestic violence. Number of domestic violence victims in the past 12 months: Male: 5.5 million; Female: 4.8 million (7). The great majority of domestic violence perpetrators are opposite-sex partners.
Child Abuse: Fathers are less likely than mothers to engage in child abuse: Father-only abuse: 125,493 child-victims; Mother-only abuse: 189,635 child-victims. (8)
False Allegations of Abuse: Men are less likely to make false allegations of abuse, compared to women: Male: 39%; Female: 61%. (9)
Infidelity: Only 11% of husbands, compared to 14% of wives, had been involved in an extramarital affair, as of 2021-2022. (10)
Divorce: Husbands initiate 31 % of all divorces, while wives seek 69% of divorces. (11)

Kevin Roberts concluded his commentary by taking a jab at the old feminist adage about fish and bicycles. He wrote: “A fish may or may not need a bicycle, but women and children very much need men.” The time is long-overdue to celebrate men’s interest, capacity, and participation in healthy family life.

After Years in the Wilderness, Fathers Stage a Remarkable Comeback

After Years in the Wilderness, Fathers Stage a Remarkable Comeback

WASHINGTON / August 20, 2025 – This past Saturday 250 fathers and friends gathered in Upper Marlboro, Maryland to attend the Dad Games. The spirited event featured competitive activities such as Trash Can Basketball, the One-Trip Grocery Bag Relay, and other activities designed to celebrate fathers (1).

The event reflected three broader shifts that have gone largely unnoticed in our society:

Young men are now more likely than their female counterparts to aspire to become a parent. Among young single persons, 57% of men, compared to only 45% of women, say they hope to become a parent someday (2).
Fathers are spending more time with their children. American fathers now spend an average of 7.8 hours each week on child care, up by one hour per week since 2003. (3)
As a result, 47% of fathers say they are doing a better job than their own dads did, with another 47% about the same (4).

For years, fathers were regarded as just “another pair of hands” or merely a substitute mom. But 2025 is witnessing a reversal of this perception.

On June 18, Senators Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Roger Marshall (R-KS), and Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) introduced the Dads Matter Act, S. 2131 (5). In the House, Representatives Byron Donalds (R-FL) and Burgess Owens (R-UT) introduced HRes 487 that declares, “fatherhood is essential to the development of all children.” (6)

Fathers’ Day 2025 witnessed numerous high-profile events around the country:

New York City: Moms First and Equimundo joined forces to convene the inaugural Future of Fatherhood Summit. The summit welcomed over 300 guests in person and tens of thousands of virtual viewers across the U.S. (7)

Ohio: Senate President Rob McColley announced a $20 million investment for the Ohio Commission on Fatherhood (8).

Washington, DC: The Jack Brewer Foundation, championed by the former Minnesota Vikings player, celebrated the grand opening of its National Fatherhood Center (9).

To date, fatherhood commissions and councils have been established in 14 states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia, Washington, DC, Washington State, and Wisconsin (10).

Despite these positive developments, major challenges remain. The Census Bureau reports 17.6 million children — nearly 1 in 4 — live without a biological, step, or adoptive father in the home (11). The epidemic of dad deprivation foretells a range of social problems including poverty, lower educational attainment, and increased risk of involvement with the juvenile justice system (12).

Lawmakers need to engage in the urgent challenge of strengthening the role of fathers in their families.

The ‘Man Crisis:’ Feminists Are Telling the Exact Opposite of the Truth

The ‘Man Crisis:’ Feminists Are Telling the Exact Opposite of the Truth

WASHINGTON / August 13, 2025 – This past Saturday the Washington Post published an article with the uncompromising title, “What’s Wrong with Men?” (1) Resorting to the flawed logic so common in contemporary feminist discourse, author Jessa Crispin starts with fictional Michael Douglas movies from the 1980s and 1990s, using them to reach dystopian conclusions about American men 40 years later.

For decades, feminists have been claiming that women live under an oppressive patriarchy. But then the truth came out: Men are lagging behind women in 12 major areas, such as health, education, treatment by the legal system, homelessness, and more (2).

For feminists reluctant to relinquish their hard-earned victim status, the November elections delivered another jolt of unwelcome news: Men had become the new “power demographic” of the American electorate (3).

Within weeks of the election, Democratic and Republican lawmakers began to issue statements supportive of men. These persons include president Donald Trump and former president Barack Obama, as well as Democratic governors Ned Lamont (CT); Wes Moore (MD); Gavin Newsom (CA); and Gretchen Whitmer (MI). (4)

Members of Congress also chimed in with words of encouragement: Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO); Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS); Sen. Warnock (D-GA); Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL); Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA); Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), and Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT).

In contrast to these statements of support, recent months have seen a noticeable increase in vitriolic statements by self-described feminists:

Hopes of misery for male Trump voters: “make the lives of men who voted for Trump miserable.” (5)
Extreme suggestions like “poisoning” men who voted for Trump. (6)
Smears labeling Trump supporters as “racist, sexist, misogynistic” and calls to “eliminate” them. (7)

The “man crisis” is being exacerbated by a worsening anti-male animus in the legacy media. Within the past month, the New York Times ran three opinion pieces openly hostile to men:

The ‘Boy Crisis’ is Overblown (8)
Why Women are Weary of the Emotional Labor of ‘Man-keeping’ (9)
The Trouble with Wanting Men (10)

In response, women are pushing back against the wave of irrational misandry.

Rikki Schlott of the New York Post charged the NYT op-ed, The Trouble with Wanting Men, is “part of a genre of man-hating thought pieces that turn hetero love and dating into an all-out gender war — and totally absolve women of any agency or responsibility in their relationships.” (11)

Lisa Britton revealed, “It’s increasingly evident that many of my critics aren’t seeking fairness, valuing the sexes equally, mutual respect or gender harmony. Instead, they appear to want female dominance and retribution for past injustices.” (12)

If we want to solve the “man crisis,” we first need to curb the epidemic of anti-male invective.

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.

Analyses of the Male Electorate in the 2024 Presidential Election

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

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.

SAVE – Stop Abusive and Violent Environments – is a 501(c)3 organization working to assure due process, fairness, and equal opportunities for men.
