Gender Studies 2: Boogaloo

A lot of men still don’t realize how much of society is built around them.

Amy Diehl, Ph.D. (@amydiehl.bsky.social)

Study of female surgeons finds they were passed over for surgical referrals, paid less for equivalent procedures and given less time in the operating room, They also had to use tools too large for their hands as surgical spaces & tools were built for men...

Dr. El Sayed addressed this very problem in an email to donors just yesterday:

Can I be candid for a moment?

We’re losing young men. To apathy, cynicism, and a version of politics that tells them their strength lies in cruelty instead of compassion.

The Democratic Party hasn’t done a good job of showing young men that it’s worth their vote, and MAGA politicians will keep using their twisted version of masculinity to radicalize and recruit.

This is something we need to face head-on.

Because if we’re serious about rebuilding a coalition that can win, govern, and fix this broken system, then we must reach the folks we’ve left behind — and I think I might be uniquely positioned to speak to young men.

I’m a former athlete. I roast my own coffee and host a podcast. I love weightlifting, and even got my wife, Sarah, into it!

Look, I’m not pretending to be anyone’s savior, but I know what it’s like to be one of the guys. And I know what kind of politics we’re up against.

First, we have to listen to what’s frustrating them.

Not just the surface-level stuff, but the deep anger at a system that promised opportunity and didn’t deliver. The politicians who said “work hard and play by the rules” but shipped jobs overseas while raking in stock market profits. The culture that treats them like they’re a problem to be solved, not people to be welcomed.

Then, we need to offer a vision worth believing in — a politics where young men see themselves in the future we’re fighting for.

That means building an economy where a good job can actually support a family. Fighting for guaranteed healthcare so no one has to skip the doctor or drown in debt. Holding the billionaires and corporations accountable for rigging the system while telling us to blame each other.

This is how we bring young men into our coalition. With honesty. With empathy. And with the courage to say: We need you with us.

But he's Muslim, so he has zero chance.
 
You bring young men into the party by stopping the conveyor belt whereby the richest 10,000 families have stolen 37 trillion dollars from the rest of us since 1981, reversing it, and clawing all that back. With interest.

Are the Dems up for that yet?

Didn't think so.

Until somebody does that we will keep on drifting into fascism.
