Men account for 75% of US suicides, Men account for 93% of workplace deaths, Men die at younger ages and in greater numbers from every major cause of death in the USA, yet there is only an Office of Women's Health, but nothing comparable for men's health. You forgot about the many ways that men are disempowered.

I see your care and concern for men, Frank, and I value it. I don't speak for Danielle, but I would suggest that as a wife and a mother of boys, she is not blind to ways men can be disempowered. Focusing on women doesn't negate the issues men face.

But the issues men face have been ignored for decades, which is why the stats I mentioned continue to occur.

yep. Frank your concerns for men are important and valid. I do agree. The amazing thing is that all the statistics suggest that when women are empowered everyone benefits.. this seems to be true globally... and in every sector of society. This is quite a beautiful idea - that we aren't against each other but that we all win together. thanks for raising this.
