Nice work, Mark, but I am not holding out much hope. In the run-up to the 2024 election, strategist James Carville warned the Democrats that they were alienating men. They rebuffed him, claiming that the Democrats were now the "party of women". After the election, they accused male Trump voters of "misogyny".
When the Democrats convened to choose the next DNC chairman, all 5 candidates claimed that Harris lost due to "racism" and "misogyny". James Carville mentioned that the Democrats have lost the male vote forever.
Carville is seemingly the only one of the Democratic establishment who has criticized Democrats in this regard, and he has the track record to back up his claims. I am also concerned that 2024 was a pivotal election -- the Democrats completely dropped the ball on appealing to men and they will be playing catch up for years. Whether some of the entrenched views about men can change or not, my feeling is we've got to try. But I understand your pessimism! So far, the establishment Democrats have not indicated any change. I'm hoping the loss of the White House, Senate, House of Reps, and Supreme Court is enough to allow for some new ideas.
Great letter, Mark. Let's hope there is enough gender and viewpoint diversity in the party to recognize the need for more. Good luck!
Thank you, Jack -- I'll definitely keep you up to date on any developments.

I hope so too, but it seems that their minds are made up, and they don’t want to be confused with facts.
I hope they respond to you, and I really hope they take you up on your offer!
Thank you, Jennifer, I will let you know if I hear anything from the DNC!
Great idea. I hope they listen.
