Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a lovely holiday season. I believe 2024 will be the year that we see huge changes when it comes to addressing the many issues affecting boys and men. Taking a stand for boys and men and having compassion for boys and men has become more…

These are the sponsors of the legislation to create a Commission on Boys and Men in Washington State... So great to see! Hopefully the attempt to establish a commission will be a success this year, and Washington State will be the leader our nation needs on this topic!

Whenever I tweet how fatherlessness is hurting society, I get messages saying “I grew up without a father. I turned out fine! You’re wrong!”

If you’re one of those individuals, I’m so happy for you! But the data shows fatherlessness is a key factor in many of our societal ills.

Boys are struggling in school, stuck in a setting that rewards them for behaving more like girls. 

All-male middle schools show what boys need to develop skills. Maybe coed schools can learn from them.

Rather than change the boys, let’s change schools. wsj.com/tech/personal-…

The gender war goes out the window when real war comes through the door.

We’re seeing it with the war in Ukraine, where men are banned from leaving the country and Russia is sending inexperienced boys to the frontlines, and we’re seeing it in the Israel/Hamas war, where the only…

We cherry-pick gender expectations. It’s clear by what’s been going on in the war in Ukraine. If you believe there should be no gender expectations for women, then there shouldn’t be any for men either. Or we embrace gender duties. You can’t have your cake and eat it, too. I just…

This news today makes me so angry. Men over 40 are very likely fathers. Just sending fathers off to die for the power struggle of elites. No biggie! Sickens me.

This war proves that men (at any age) are still considered ‘disposable’ despite decades of striving for “gender equality.” We’ve been demanding society drop any gender expectations of women, but this gender expectation of men seems to hold strong… we expect men to die for us.

The best cure for loneliness is not more frequent interaction. It's more meaningful interaction.

Many people enjoy solitude. They can spend up to ~75% of their time alone without feeling isolated.

What matters most for well-being is the quality of connections, not the quantity.

A new study published in the International Journal of Health Sciences suggests “Masculinity is great… We love men!” has a positive affect on young men’s mental health and “Toxic masculinity! Men are inherently bad!” has a negative affect on young men’s mental health. Shocker!

Not surprisingly, we’re hearing a lot about women and children being the innocent victims of the war. I think it’s important for us to recognize that there are many casualties who are men and hostages who are men. The men are just as important in my book. Our hearts should be…

My heart is with all the dads out there who are fighting in family court for more time with their kids. I’ve met many over the years. I hope, despite it all, you have a wonderful holiday. Know there are people who care and are pushing for change in our biased legal system.

This is so sad. Teen boys are falling for an online nude-photo scam that has evolved in recent years to include monetary shakedowns.

Scammers posing as teen girls befriend boys online, share nude photos of a girl and then ask for nude photos in return.

Once the boy…
