From "mansplaining" to "manspreading" to "toxic masculinity," recent years have seen a surge of terms vilifying men and masculinity while perpetuating female victimhood. The latest, "mankeeping," is the most insidious yet. It frames the emotional labor women invest in supporting

Paul Tan I am a real woman. My first real wake-up call was attending the women’s march in 2017 in LA. I saw a little girl on her father’s shoulders wearing a pink hat, and it hit me—we’re teaching this little girl society views her “less-than”, which is just not true. But we planted the

Could all-boys schools help address gender gaps in education? Research shows small academic gains (if any) but large improvements in behavior and engagement—and for at-risk boys, these behavioral changes may matter more than test scores. More: aibm.org/research/all-b…

The institution of marriage would have a brighter future if we tackle the valid concerns of young men who today see it as a risky choice not worth pursuing. We must make marriage more fair and appealing to men. Divorce rates are down says Brad Wilcox. That’s a start!

I’m often accused by naysayers of being “anti-women” which is frustrating to me because I believe I’m more pro-women/femininity than most people. I value the sexes equally and wish for societal support for everyone. Advocating for the well-being of boys and men does NOT make

I often get messages like: My son is doing GREAT! Top of his class. You’re wrong about EVERYTHING, Lisa! That’s fantastic that your son is doing so well, but that doesn’t mean that ALL boys and young men are doing well. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Boys need more support today!

The notion of 'mankeeping' is absurd, especially when most men consistently support and nurture their woman’s emotional well-being, yet this effort is rarely acknowledged. Why isn't the mainstream media talking about 'womankeeping'? Because it would be dismissed as misogyny.

The New York Times should prioritize addressing the urgent crises facing men: rising male suicide rates, deteriorating men's mental health, and widespread male loneliness. These critical issues demand our compassion and immediate action. Rather than diverting focus to their

You know a civilization is truly hitting rock bottom when caring for your struggling loved ones is framed as an unfair, unpaid burden. I think now is a good time for us all to take a moment, go out into nature, and reflect more often.

I saw this hat in a department store. People will see it and just think it’s funny and cute. Oddly, I couldn’t find any “Make me a sandwich, wife!” hats in the store… Not funny and cute? Why is treating men and husbands like ATMs still acceptable?

I believe true female empowerment doesn’t come from mimicking traditional male roles, but from embracing women’s unique strengths. Now is the time to confront the challenges facing men. Women can lead the way, not by casting themselves as victims of male struggles, but by

A lot of people are telling me it’s too late to repair the relationship between men and women. We passed that opportunity years ago. Do you think it’s too late?

News! Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order today to address the alarming rise in suicides and disconnection among California’s young men and boys. The order directs a coordinated statewide response to improve mental health outcomes, reduce stigma, and expand access to

I’m very pleased to see Gov Gavin Newsom take a stand for boys and young men. As I said in my piece for Evie earlier this month, it’s time for both sides of the aisle to dive deeper into the underlying causes of the challenges facing our young men today, not just for votes, but

When I post about improving the academic outcomes of boys, the top response is along the lines of “We need more all-boys schools!” Have any of you experienced attending an all-boys school? Did it have a positive or negative impact on your life? Your input matters!

If the global suicide gender gap were reversed, it would become the world’s top priority. But since men are 4x more likely to die by suicide, people just come up with excuses and blame. It’s time to be proactive and address all of the factors that lead to men dying by suicide.
