Men's Group

Men buy into the ideas of protecting women ("women and children first&quot . We are also generally okay with expecting individual men to carry their own weight ("every man for himself&quot . When men get their backs up is when we are told that the different choices men and women make shouldn't result in different economic outcomes, and that we should man up and tolerate unfair treatment in family court. The problem that men have with both of these is that they compromise our ability to be adequate providers for our families.

This is the employment to population ratio among working-age men. This is the economic reality that men experience.


Men reaching adulthood today will earn 28% less than their grandfathers. It's no wonder that they are pissed. Telling them that this is unjust in favor of them is both a distortion as well as an impossible, counterproductive sell.

What should be an easier sell is telling men that democrats recognize and want to fix this situation. Americans expect and insist that their kids will have it better than they did, even if it does require hard work.

I must admit that there are some days when I can understand what it would feel like to be a log cabin republican.
